3Nortel WLAN—Access Point 2330 Quick Installation Guide Regulatory Compliance Statements for WLAN Access Point 2330Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance NoticesThis section includes the following FCC statements for the WLAN Access Point 2330:• Class B Interference Statement• RF Radiation Exposure & Hazard Warning• Non-Modification Statement• Deployment StatementClass B Interference StatementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in either a commercial or residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio communications, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio communications technician for help.FCC Caution:This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.RF Radiation Exposure & Hazard StatementTo ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be installed in a location such that the antenna of the device will be greater than 20 cm (8 in.) from all persons. Using higher gain antennas and types of antennas not covered under the FCC certification of this product is not allowed. Installers of the radio and end users of the product must adhere to the installation instructions provided in this manual.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Non-Modification StatementUse only the supplied internal antenna, or external antennas supplied by the manufacturer. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the WLAN Access Point 2330 and violate FCC regulations. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
4320662-A Deployment StatementThis product is certified for indoor deployment only. Do not install or use this product outdoors.Canadian IC StatementOperation is subject to the following two conditions in Canada:1) this device may not cause interference, and2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the deviceTo prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in the 5250-5350 MHz band, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt WLAN devices.European Community ComplianceDeclaration of ConformityMarking by this symbol indicates compliance with the Essential Requirements of the R&TTE Directive of the European Union (1999/5/EC).

If operation is occurring outside of the allowable channels as indicated in the Regulatory Conformance Guide, then operation of the product must cease immediately and the installer must consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community. Requirements for indoor versus outdoor operation, license requirements and allowed channels of operation apply as described below.• This device is restricted to indoor use when operated in the European Community using the 5.15-5.35 GHz band, including Channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60 & 64. Consult the Regulatory Conformance Guide for allowed 5 GHz channels by country.• This device may be operated indoors or outdoors in all countries of the European Community using the 2.4 GHz band, including Channels 1 - 13, except where noted below.• In Italy the end-user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to operate this device outdoors.• In Belgium outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.46 - 2.4835 GHz band: Channel 13 and a license is required for outdoor operation over 300 meters.• In France outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.4 - 2.454 GHz band: Channels 1 - 7.• The 5GHz Turbo Mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community country.Operation Using 5 GHz Channels in the European CommunityTo remain in conformance with European National spectrum usage laws, please consult the Regulatory Conformance Guide for the channel limitations associated with the 5 GHz bands. The professional installer should verify the current channel of operation of the WLAN Access Point 2330 and compare it to the allowable channels of operation in the geographic region where the unit is being installed. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable frequencies as listed in the guide, then operation of the product must cease immediately and the installer must consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.
6320662-A Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)This device implements a DFS feature in accordance with the limits in EN 301 893 Version 1.2.3, Section 4.6 and Annex D, Tables D.1, D.2 & D.4 for a device operating in the mode defined as “Master”. Section 4.6, Tables 6 and 7 of this document define the requirements prior to using a channel and during normal operation for a Master device (i.e., Interference Detection Threshold, Channel Availability Check Time, Uniform Spreading, Channel Closing Transmission Time and Channel Move Time). This product qualifies for this category since the maximum achievable transmit power is greater than 23 dBm per the requirements of Table D.2 in Annex D of the standard.External Antenna StatementIntentional radiators, such as the Nortel Networks WLAN Access Point 2330 are not intended to be operated with any antenna(s) other than those furnished by Nortel Networks. An intentional radiator may only be operated with the antenna(s) with which it is authorized. For a complete listing of the authorized antennas for use with this product, visit http://www.nortel.com/support.In order to ensure continued compliance, use of an antenna not on the Nortel approved antenna list is not allowed without specific authorization from Nortel Networks.
