Regulatory Requirements

In the United States, the FCC regulates licensing of RF fre-
quencies. The terms of the FCC radio license for a particu-
lar operation will determine the frequencies, output
power, and antenna height(s) for a given situation. The
applicable "Part" of the FCC Rules and Regulations must
be consulted before a CDR500 or CDR700 repeater is acti-
vated. In countries other than the United States, contact
the local government for licensing rules.
NOTE
In the United States of America, the
CDM-Series radios may not legally be
used as the transmit radio in a UHF (450
to 512 MHz) repeater or base station
application with 12.5 kHz channel spac-
ing. The ±2.5-ppm frequency stability
capability of the radio does not meet the
requirements of part 90 of the Rules and
Regulations of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission (FCC). In other coun-
tries, check local frequency stability
requirements before placing a CDM- or
PRO-Series radio based repeater or base
station in operation.
Any telephone interconnect equipment sold in the U.S.
must comply with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the
repeater controller housing there is a label that lists the
FCC registration number and ringer equivalence num-
ber (REN) for this equipment. You must, on request,
provide this information to your telephone company.
In other countries additional compliance information
or testing may be required. Contact Radius Product
Services for further information.
The ringer equivalence number (REN) is useful in
determining the quantity of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have all of those devices
ring when your telephone number is called. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five. Contact
your local telephone company to determine the maxi-
mum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes damage to the tele-
phone, the telephone company may discontinue your ser-
vice temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in
advance, but, if advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. In such a case, you will be
informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the proper functioning of your equipment. If it does, you
March, 2001
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to
maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
If any interconnect equipment malfunctions, the tele-
phone company may ask you to disconnect it from the
network until the problem has been corrected or until you
are sure that the equipment is no longer malfunctioning.
Interconnect equipment cannot be used on coin service
provided by the telephone company. Connection to
party lines is subject to tariffs.
This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manuals, can cause
interference to radio communications. It
has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a "Class A" comput-
ing device pursuant to Part 15 of FCC
Rules which are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against such interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause interference in which case
the user, at his own expense, will be
required to take whatever measure is
necessary to correct the interference.

Industry Canada Requirements

The Canadian Department of Communications label
identifies certified equipment. The certificate means
that the equipment meets certain protective, opera-
tional, and safety requirements of the telecommunica-
tions network. The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to a user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, make sure you are
permitted to connect it to the facilities of the local tele-
communications company. You must also install the
equipment using an acceptable method of connection.
In some cases you may extend the company's inside
wiring for a single line individual service by means of
a certified connector assembly (telephone extension
cord). You should be aware, however, that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent degrada-
tion of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated
by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by a
user to this equipment, or any equipment malfunctions
may give the telephone communications company
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
For your own protection, make sure that
the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines, and inter-
nal metallic water pipe system, if present,
