About this Document
This document is a product manual for the B2CH100AA 5 GHz WLAN 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.

B2CH100AA Product Manual
Introduction
The B2CH100AA (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 5.9 GHz radio
module compatible with the IEEE 802.11p 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 802.11p radio and Medium Access Control (MAC)
protocol engine which allows implementation of an 802.11p 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.

As per FCC 90.377(b), the maximum EIRP shown above are permitted only for a
unit which is mounted at an antenna height not exceeding 8m above the roadway
surface. A unit may employ an antenna height more than 8m but not exceeding 15m
above the roadway surface, providing the EIRP in the table above is reduced by a

above for each of the antenna types.
Warning: Use of this module in conjunction with any antenna not expressly
listed above will void authority to install or operate this equipment.
Warning: Setting of module transmit power above the limits specified in the
above table for a particular combination of antenna type, frequency of operation,
and type of usage, will exceed FCC or Industry Canada limits and void authority to
install or operate this equipment.
Product Installation
Products which contain B2CH100AA-A shall only be installed by professional installers
trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. This product is to be installed on
fixed permanent structures. 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 distances
are outlined according to product type and whether high gain antennas are used:

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 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 television reception, which can be determined by
Page 11 of 13
B2CH100AA Product Manual
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
19 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
This device has been designed to ensured that radio frequency emissions are
maintained within the band of operation under all normal operating conditions listed
in this manual.
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 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 is:
