Federal Communications Rules for Operation in USA
FCC Part 90 guidelines for deployment of RDL-3000 systems in the frequency band of
3650-
3700 MHz for “restricted” CBP (Contention Based Protocol) in USA includes
restrictions on the maximum EIRP.
To comply with these guidelines, the following EIRP limitations are applied for
deployment in this band:
i) Max EIRP of 25 Watts/25 MHz (equivalent to 1 Watt/1 MHz)
ii) Peak EIRP Power Density of 1 Watt in any 1 MHz slice of spectrum.
To ensure compliance with these restrictions, refer to the following important notices:
1. The 3650-3700 MHz frequency range is a licensed band in the USA and operators
must have a valid spectrum license to operate RDL-3000 equipment using this band.
2. The RDL-3000 requires a Redline FCC-specific options key that is mandatory for
operation within the USA. This options key enforces the FCC approved operating
range of 3650-3700 MHz.
3. The RDL-3000 outdoor transceiver and antenna must be professionally installed.
4. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redline Communications could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
5. Do not operate an RDL-3000 outdoor transceiver until you have confirmed the FCC
specific options key is loaded and active (operating range restricted to 3650-3700
MHz). When the FCC-specific options key is installed, the operator is not able to set
an RF frequency that exceeds the allowed range of 3650-3700 MHz.
6. The RDL-3000 transmit power settings must not exceed values stated in the RDL-
3000 Family User Manual.

WARNING -- IC RF Exposure Warnings
To satisfy IC RF exposure requirements for RF transmitting devices, the following
distances should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons
during device operation:

PMP
34 cm (13.4") or more
To ensure compliance, operation at closer than these distances is not
recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be collocated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
IC regulations governing operation in the 3450-3700 MHz band are subject to licensing,
pursuant to subsection 4(1) of the Radiocommunication Act.
