About Microwave Data Systems Inc.
Over two decades ago, MDS began building radios for business-critical applications. Since then,
we’ve installed more than 500,000 radios in over 110 countries. To succeed, we overcame impass-
able terrain, brutal operating conditions and disparate, complex network configurations. We also
became experts in wireless communication standards and system applications worldwide. The
result of our efforts is that today, thousands of utilities around the world rely on MDS-based wire-
less networks to manage their most critical assets.
OPERATIONAL & SAFETY NOTICES
FCC Transmitter Identifications
An MDS NETio Base Module can contain two internal FCC-approved transmitters:
¥ FCC ID: E5MDS-EL806 MDS OEM TransNET 900MHz FHSS transceiver
IC ID: 3738A-MDSEL806
¥ FCC ID: OUR-XBEEPRO 2.4 GHz Zigbee module
IC ID: 4214A-XBEEPRO
NETio Expansion Modules equipped with wireless expansion services (WeXP) contain one FCC-approved transmitter:
¥ FCC ID: OUR-XBEEPRO 2.4 GHz Zigbee module
IC ID: 4214A-XBEEPRO
U.S. Installations: Professional installation required. The radio equipment described in
this guide emits radio frequency energy. Although the power level is low, the concentrated
energy from a directional antenna may pose a health hazard. For 900 MHz units, do not
allow people to come closer than 23 cm (9 inches) to the antenna. For 2.4 GHz units, do
not allow people to come closer than 5 cm (2 inches) to the antenna. These distances apply
whether the transmitter is operated in indoor or outdoor environments.
For units with the optional wireless expansion service (WeXP) installed, a minimum sepa-
ration distance of 23cm (9.05") must be maintained between the two antennas (Link and
WeXP) when mounted in their
fi nal locations.
More information on RF exposure is available on the Internet at
www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins .
ETSI Installations: In regions where the European Telecommunications Standards Insti-
tute (ETSI) standards apply, 2.4 GHz units with a maximum output power of 100 mW EIRP
are supplied. Do not allow people to come closer than 2.2 cm (1 inch) to the antenna.
