RF exposure near the antenna
Strong Radio Frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the transmitter is ON.

the antenna.
Important regulatory information
The cnPilot Enterprise AP product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not
allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated special
requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices. Unlicensed
devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
The cnPilot Enterprise AP detects and avoids functionality for countries and frequency bands requiring
protection for radar systems. The cnPilot Enterprise AP is qualified for ETSI/FCC DFS certification (see
Note ) for radar detection and avoidance as per the law.
Note
Country-specific limits apply, some bands require DFS. DFS bands operation subject to
regulatory approval. Check Software release notes for details.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet these
requirements, users must set the correct country code during commissioning of the cnPilot Enterprise AP
equipment. If this is not done, installers and users may be liable to civil and criminal penalties.
Contact the Cambium helpdesk if more guidance is required.
