FCC Output Power Restrictions
The FCC does not require licensing to implement this device. License-free operation in the industrial, scientific, and medical
band is documented in FCC Rules Part 15.247. It is the responsibility of the individuals designing and implementing the
radio system to assure compliance with any pertinent FCC Rules and Regulations. This device must be professionally
installed.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields
The Minilink 5.8WES is designed to operate at 5.8 GHz with up to 50 Watts EIRP maximum transmit power. This level of
RF energy is above the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels specified in FCC OET65:97-01. The following
precautions must be taken during installation of this equipment:
• The installed antenna must not be located in a manner that allows exposure of the general population to the direct
beam path of the antenna at a distance less than 1 Meter. Installation on towers, masts, or rooftops not accessible
to the general population is recommended; or
• Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the area within 1 Meter from the front of
the antenna.
• It is recommended that the installer place radio frequency hazard warnings signs on the barrier that prevents
access to the antenna.
• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not stand in front of the antenna assembly.
• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not handle or touch the front of the antenna.
These simple precautions must be taken to prevent general population and installation personnel from exposure to RF
energy in excess of specified MPE levels.
Industry Canada Restrictions
This device is in compliance with the applicable sections of the Industry Canada RSS-210 Spectrum Management and
Telecommunications Radio Standard Specification that governs Low Power License-Exempt Radiocommunication Devices.
Specifically, the output EIRP of this device relative to antenna gain is factory set to ensure compliance with section
6.2.2(q1)(iv)(g).
In addition, it is noted for all users that high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz frequency bands and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LELAN
devices such as are covered by this manual.
Environmental Limitations of FCC License-Free Wireless Devices
MicroTek products are engineered to the highest standards and designed to work in a variety of wireless applications and
environments. A wireless environment includes not only a particular site in which the product is installed but also the
installation itself and any extra materials that might be necessary to complete the wireless project. Due to the fact that
environments and installations differ from site to site, MicroTek cannot control the variables required to ensure an ideal
environment. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee a successful application based on a drawing, application note, quote
or other type of material that MicroTek may provide. Should a quote, drawing, etc. be made available, it is based on the
performance of the WES product in an ideal environment with clear line-of-sight, absence of 5 GHz interference and/or
frequency multi-path reflection. Therefore, MicroTek cannot be held responsible should the products not operate as desired
or should additional products be required to complete a project. In addition, should a particular environment restrict the
usage of the MiniLink WES in any way, MicroTek offers a thirty (30) day return policy from date of original shipment (see
page 3).
