APCD-WM001-1.0 viii
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 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:
• 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.
Interference Environment
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference and,
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
might cause undesired operation.
:
Operational Requirements
In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:
1. The maximum average power output of the intentional radiator shall not
exceed one (1) watt (30 dBm) for all spread spectrum systems operating in
the 902 to 928MHz band.
2. Stations operating in the 902 to 928MHz band may use transmitting antennas
of directional gain greater than 6dBi, provided the average output power from
the intentional radiator is reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain
of the antenna exceeds 6dBi.
3. The operator of a spread spectrum system and the user of the radio device
are each responsible for ensuring that the system is operated in the manner
outlined in Interference Environment on page ix.
The MMT9000 with its certified antenna complies with these requirements.
Warnings and Advisories
General Advisory
Installers, operators and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety
requirements before they attempt to install or operate the MMT9000.
APCD-WM001-1.0 ix
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the public is not exposed to excessive
Radio Frequency (RF) levels. The applicable regulations can be obtained from local
authorities.
WARNING!
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the MMT9000 mobile
antennas must be mounted to provide a separation distance
of 20cm (8 inches) or more from all persons. The MMT9000
panel antenna must be mounted to provide a separation
distance of 30cm (12 inches) or more from all persons. The
distance is measured from the nearest point of the antenna to
the human body.
WARNING!
The MMT9000 is only to be installed by qualified professional
installers, who are familiar FCC regulations and with
installing radio transmission equipment, especially in
vehicles. The installer must be familiar with all installation
procedures and restrictions contained herein.
:
Important Safeguards
CAUTION: To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not remove
covers, since there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
1. Read all these instructions before installing and operating the MMT9000.
2. Retain these instructions for future reference.
3. Heed all warnings on the MMT9000 and in these instructions.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Disconnect MMT9000 from its power source before cleaning. Clean only with a damp
cloth.
6. Use only attachments recommended by WaveRider.
7. The metal housing protects the MMT9000 from overheating to ensure reliable
operations. Do not cover the MMT9000. Although the MMT9000 has been rated for a
wide range of temperatures, it will perform better and longer if proper ventilation is
provided.
WARNING!
APCD-WM001-1.0 x
8. Operate the MMT9000 only from a 13.8 VDC (+-/25%) power supply, such as a
standard vehicle power system. Using other voltages, such as 24 VDC or AC power,
can result in damage to the MMT9000.
9. Use the fuse assembly provided to protect the MMT9000 from power surges in the
vehicle power system as well as protecting the power system from short circuits in the
MMT9000 or its power cable.
10. Route the Power-supply cable, Ethernet cable and Antenna cable so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cord and cables at their plugs, convenience receptacles and the
points where the cords exit the equipment.
11. Provide strain relief for cables near their connections. This is typically done by leaving
a loop in the cable near the connection.
12. Do not locate the MMT9000 in the vicinity of power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits.
13. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug the MMT9000. This will power down the MMT9000.
14. Never push foreign objects of any kind through openings (e.g. Ethernet jack) in this
wireless product as they may short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock
and damage the unit.
:
15. The MMT9000 is a rugged unit that can tolerate a wide range of environments if
installed correctly, but it is not rated as being submersible nor immune to all liquids
from all directions. If the MMT9000 may experience rain, then mount the unit so that
the rain does not fall on or drip directly onto the connector endplate.
16. Do not attempt to service this wireless product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
17. Unplug the unit and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If the MMT9000 does not operate normally for an extended period of time when
following the operating instructions. Note that it is possible that Internet traffic can
be slow even under normal operations due to network congestion and radio
interference and fading and not as result of problems with the MMT9000.
• When the MMT9000 exhibits distinct changes in performance. This may indicate a
need for service.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by WaveRider or with the same characteristics as the
original part. Improper substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
19. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this wireless product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the wireless product is in proper
operating condition.
APCD-WM001-1.0 xi
20. Install the MMT9000 in compliance with local and national electrical codes where
applicable. The following are the national codes. The installer is responsible for
knowing the appropriate local codes.
• In the United States, use the National Electrical Code (NEC);
• In Canada, use the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1;
• In other countries, use International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364,
part 1 through 7.
