Certification Information
North America Regulatory Statement
This unit was certified by an agency approved in both Canada and the
United States of America. It has been evaluated according to applicable
North American approved standards for product safety for use in Canada
and the United States.
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003
compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to
ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note: Information such as the FCC and IC numbers is available directly from
ToolBox X. From the button bar, tap , and then select the Platform tab.
The numbers are listed under Regulatory information.
viii FTB-2/FTB-2 Pro and FTB-4 Pro
Certification Information
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
Your unit comes with an internal wireless module and antenna for which
the following information applies:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). 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.
This device complies with the US/Canada portable RF exposure limit
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended
operation as described in this user documentation. The further RF
exposure reduction can be achieved if the device can be kept as far as
possible from the user’s body.
This device does not contain any user-serviceable components. Any
unauthorized product changes or modifications will invalidate
warranty and all applicable regulatory certifications and approvals.
Note: You will only be able to work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® if you have
purchased the RF option.

Certification Information
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
European Community Declaration of Conformity
Warning: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to
take adequate measures.
Hereby, EXFO declares that the radio equipment type “Wideband Data
Transmission” is in compliance with European Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following
Internet address: www.exfo.com/library.
The information about the Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi frequency bands is as
follows:
Bluetooth®: Between the frequencies 2400.0 MHz - 2483.5 MHz.
The output power is 4.0 dBm typical.
Wi-Fi: Between the frequencies 2400.0 MHz - 2483.5 MHz.
The maximum output power is 16.0 dBm.
Wi-Fi: Between the frequencies 5150.0 MHz - 5825.0 MHz.
The maximum output power is 12.0 dBm.
This device is a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wideband transmission system
(transceiver), intended for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries,
except in France and Italy where restrictive use applies.
In Italy, the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum
authorities in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting up
outdoor radio links and/or for supplying access to telecommunications
and/or network services.
This device may not be used for setting up radio links in France, and in
some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the
frequency range of 2454 - 2483.5 MHz. For detailed information, the
end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.

Working With FTB and FTBx Modules
You can insert FTBx modules, FTB modules, or a combination of both in
your unit.
CAUTION
Your unit is compatible with some of the FTBx modules and some of
the FTB modules. For a list of supported modules, refer to your
unit’s technical specifications. To avoid damaging your unit, use it
only with modules approved by EXFO.
The type of modules (FTBx or FTB) is indicated on the front panel of the
module, on the identification sticker affixed to its side, or on both.
However, since the two types of modules have very different heights and
lengths, you can also identify them just at a glance.
On the images below, the FTBx module is shown in dark gray.

adapter to work with FTB modules if your unit is not already equipped with
such adapters. The adapters must be removed before inserting FTBx
modules.

Power Sources
Power Sources
Your unit operates with the following power sources:
AC adapter/charger connected to standard power outlet (FTB-2 and
FTB-2 Pro—indoor use only).
OR
Standard three-wire power cord connected to standard power outlet
(FTB-4 Pro—indoor use only).
Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (the unit automatically switches to
battery power if you disconnect it from its external power source). The
unit can be used outdoors when it is powered by batteries.
When it is connected to an external power source, the unit will function
even if the batteries are not present.
For all models, it is possible to switch from an external power source to
battery power or vice versa without affecting operation, unless the battery
LED ( ) is yellow and blinking.
The batteries recharge automatically when the unit is connected to an
external power source (with the AC adapter/charger or the three-wire
power cord).

Note: When the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or when it reaches or
exceeds about 40 °C, the batteries can either charge more slowly than
usual, or not charge at all, depending on the internal temperature of your
unit.

Automatic Fan Speed Management
Automatic Fan Speed Management
Your unit will determine the most appropriate fan speed, depending on the
power requirements and the type of modules you are using.
IMPORTANT
Fan speed is always determined to cool down the most
heat-generating modules.
If the temperature keeps rising and reaches the limit, your unit will turn off.
This safety feature protects the unit and its modules against overheating.
CAUTION
Make sure to use protective covers over empty slots of your unit to
