OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the equipment

you are installing.

IMPORTANT: Look over the site before beginning any installation, and anticipate possible hazards, especially these: CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power lines are

anywhere where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

Assume all overhead lines are power lines.

The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

• Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.

• Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.

• Use approved non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.

• If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

• If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line,

MOVE IT

• Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.

DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS.

in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

• The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.

• Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.

• Lightning arrestors for antenna feed coaxial cables are available from HyperLink Technologies, Inc.

This will help prevent fire damage or human injury

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:

• DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.

• Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with electrical power.

• Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency

medical aid has been requested.

Interference Statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. 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.

Warning: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

NOTE: This system must be installed by experienced professional installers who are familiar with radio frequency (RF) equipment operation as well as local building and safety codes. Failure to do so may void the Product Warranty, as well as expose the enduser to legal and/or financial liabilities.

Information to the user

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 install ation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. Connect the equipment to 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.

Any changes or modifications of equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and the company’s warranty.

NOTE: Certain high gain antennas are intended for point - t o-point or point- tomultipoint applications only. These antennas are clearly identified in the table contained in this manual. Note that +36 dBi may only be exceeded for point-t opoint applications as given in 15.247(b). It is the installers responsibility that when using these antennas to ensure that the system is used exclusively for point - t o-point operations, and that the antenna may not be co-located with other intentional radiators transmitting the same information". The device and its antenna and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The table contained in this manual identifies which antennas are considered “fixed” and which are “mobile”. When this device is installed as a fixed-mount application there is a minimum required separation distance of 100 cm between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. All mobile antennas must be mounted at a minimum distance of 20 cm from users.

Important Information

Your wireless system has been installed and configured by an RF professional to comply with FCC Part 15 regulations. These limits 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 installation and configuration manual, 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 end user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Modifications to this system including changing the antenna, power setting or transmit channel may result in a non-compliant system, and should only be undertaken by professional installers after reading the Installation Guide for this system.

For further information contact: Hyperlink Technologies

Technical Support Dept. 1201 Clint Moore Road Boca Raton, FL 33487 Email: support@hyperlinktech.com

SAFETY NOTICE

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment when installed as directed. When this device is installed as a fixed-mount application there is a minimum required separation distance of one (1) meter between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. For mobile mounted antennas, the required separation distance is a minimum of twenty (20) cm between the antenna and all persons during normal use.

Installer: Please post this notice in a prominent location near the transmitter.
