Appendix F Warnings and Regulatory Information (continued)
The following alert sign indicates that there are restrictions on usage of the
equipment in regards to power limitations on Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power
(EIRP) levels in the European Community.
The following are user restrictions:
• Wideband Data Transmission Systems on the band 2400 – 2483.5 MHz in Europe is
limited to a Maximum of 10 mW (10 dBm) for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
See Annex 3 of ERC/REC 70-03, decision ERC/DEC/ (01)07.
• Combinations of power levels and antennas resulting in a radiated power level above
10 mW - EIRP for Direct Sequence Spectrum (DSSS) devices are considered as not
compliant, and are not allowed for use within the European Community and other
countries that have adopted the European R&TTE directive 1995/5/EC or the CEPT
recommendation ERC/REC 70-03 or both.
• The users in Europe are instructed to change the default 20 dBm level to 10 dBm via the
Web Interface of the Meter/Receiver.
MAXIMUM POWER LEVELS AND ANTENNA GAINS
Antenna Gain Output Max Maximum Radiated
U.S.A (Regulatory 4W) 2.2 dBi 18.0 dBm 20 dBm
EUROPE (Regulatory 10mW) 2.2 dBi 7.0 - 7.5 dBm 10 dBm
(DSSS)
The default 20 dBm must be changed to 10 dBm to comply with power level
regulations. The 0.5 dBm variation depends on the internal DC power used (3V,
3.3V, 3.7V max) of the different models.
