B2CC033AA Product Manual – 5 GHz WLAN Radio Module
Introduction
The B2CC033AA (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 5 GHz radio
module compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LAN operation.
It is designed to be interoperable with WLAN products which are based on
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology.
The module contains a complete 802.11a radio and Medium Access Control
(MAC) protocol engine which allows implementation of an 802.11a module.
The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed
as a complete product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and
antenna (hereafter referred to as “the product” or the “final product”).
Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot
be directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices.
It can only be used with final products designed and authorized specifically for
that purpose.

Product Installation
Products which contain B2CC033AA-A shall only be installed by professional
installers trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. In addition to
normal installation procedures and good installation practice, professional
installers are responsible to ensure that:
1. Only an approved antenna (see above) is connected to the module, and,
2. The antenna is mounted in such a manner and in such a location that access
to the antenna by the general population is minimized. Access to the
antenna by the general population should be limited to more than the
minimum safety distance. This distance is:

B2CC033AA. The following sections or equivalent information shall appear in
the user-manual of the final product.
Regulatory Information and Disclaimers
Installation and use of this device must be in strict accordance with the
instructions included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any
changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference to radio or television
equipment caused by unauthorized modification of this device, or attachment of
any antennas or equipment other than those specified by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer or its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no
liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from
failing to comply with these guidelines.
Manufacturer’s FCC Conformity Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Interference Statement
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
instructions, 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
July 2007 Page 11 of 14
PM-B2CC033AA Version 2
B2CC033AA Product Manual – 5 GHz WLAN Radio Module
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 that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Manufacturer’s Industry Canada Conformity Statement
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 23 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per
regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
is not more than that required for successful communication.
This Class B Digital apparatus meets all the requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
RF Exposure Statement
This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET
65C and found to be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR 47 Sections
2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF exposure from radio
frequency devices.
This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits for an
uncontrolled environment. The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN
July 2007 Page 12 of 14
PM-B2CC033AA Version 2
B2CC033AA Product Manual – 5 GHz WLAN Radio Module
device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. However, this device
should still be installed and used in such a manner that the potential for human
contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to comply with RF
exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standard, this equipment should
be installed and operated at a minimum distance between the radiator and a
human body. This minimum distance is:
• 25 cm (9.8 inches) for operation in all bands with the 4 and 10 dBi
antennas.
• 25 cm (9.8 inches) for operation in the 5.15-5.25 GHz bands with the 15
dBi antenna.
• 33 cm (113 inches) for operation in the 5.725 – 5.850 GHz band with
the 15 dBi antenna.
• 72 cm (28.3 inches) for operation in the 5.725 to 5.850 GHz with the 23
dBi antenna.
