This is the first issue of the document.

1. RSS-102 compliance
The following are example minimum separation distances calculated to meet the limits of
RSS-102, issue 5 for deployment of BTS products. These calculated distances assume a
typical 16.4 dBi antenna gain. For other antenna gains the compliance boundaries should be
recalculated.
Ci-dessous sont par exemple les distances minimales de séparation calculées pour respecter
les limites de RSS-102, numéro 5 pour le déploiement de la station de base . Ces distances
calculées supposent une antenne de gain typique 16,4 dBi. Pour d'autres gains d'antenne
les limites de conformité doivent être recalculées.

2. FCC Part 15 compliance
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from the one to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note:
This compliance statement is not applicable to all HW units described in this

document.
