GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

STANDARDS CERTIFICATION

1900 MHz microBTS Standards

FCC

: The microBTS complies with the applicable sections of Title 47 CFR Part 24. 

Caution: Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

Note

: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the maximum

composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1640 Watts EIRP and the antenna must be
permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters (20 feet) of separation
from all persons. 

UL/CUL

:  The  microBTS  complies  with  NEMA  Type  6,  UL  and  CUL  50  Standard  for

Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. 

The microBTS provides the degree of protection specified by IP67 as defined in IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission) Publication 60529. 

This microBTS complies with UL and CUL 60950 and UL 50 as Communication Service
Equipment under the DUZO category. 

IC

: The microBTS complies with the applicable sections of RSS-133. The term “IC:” before the

radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada Technical Specifications were met.

1800 MHz microBTS Standards

EU Harmonized Standards

: Meets essential requirements of R&TTE 1999/5/EC. 

• Article 3.1a – The protection of the health and the safety of the user and any other person,

including the objectives with respect to safety requirements contained in Directive 72/23/
EEC, but with no voltage limit applying. 

• Article 3.1b – The protection requirements with respect to electromagnetic compatibility

contained in Directive 89/336/EEC.

• Article 3.2 – In addition, radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses

the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communication and orbital resources so as
to avoid harmful interference. 

Warning: 

Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when

installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or
use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
