About this Document

This document is a product manual for the B2CH072AA 4.9 GHz Public Safety
Band Radio Module, including its limitations on use in any product marketed or
offered for sale. It is intended as a supplement to training and documentation
by BelAir Networks Inc. or its authorized agents.

B2CH072AA Product Manual –4.9 GHz Public Safety Band Radio Module

Introduction

The B2CH072AA(hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 4.9 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 B2CH072AA-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:

Only an approved antenna (see above) is connected to the module, and 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:

Manufacturer’s FCC Conformity Statement

This device complies with Part 90 of the FCC Rules.

FCC Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 90 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
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:

Page 10 of 13

B2CH072AA Product Manual –4.9 GHz Public Safety Band Radio Module

• 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.

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

90.1335 and Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, 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
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 for allowable combinations of
radios and antenna is:
