Arcwave shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions nor for any damages resulting from the use of this material. Each configuration tested or described may or may not be the only available solution. This test is not a determination of product quality or correctness, nor does it ensure compliance with any federal, state or local requirements. Arcwave does not warrant products other than its own strictly as stated in Arcwave’s product warranties. U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Notification This device complies with part 15 of the U. S. FCC Rules and Regulations and with 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. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the U.S. FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit; Connect the affected equipment to a power outlet on a different circuit from that which the receiver is connected to; Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help. Part 15, Section 15.21 Warning Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Arcwave, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC IDs Numbers are listed below: FCC Identifier: TBD ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 Copyright 2005 Arcwave, Inc. iv RF Safety Warning: To insure compliance with FCC recommended General Population/Uncontrolled exposure limits the ARCXtend Hub and CPE must be installed a minimum of one foot from areas frequented by the general population. To insure compliance with FCC recommended Occupational/Controlled exposure limits, field engineers and technicians should maintain a minimum working distance of six inches, as measure from the front of the units to the front of their bodies, from the front of the Hub and CPE. For working distance inside six inches, RF exposure should be limited to an average of 30 minutes at a time. All Arcwave equipment, however, has been designed to allow installation and maintenance at a range well within FCC RF exposure levels.

Chris Harvey From: Claire Hoque [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 6:55 PM To: Chris Harvey Cc: Chuck Cowden; Jack He Subject: answer: Arcwave, Inc. , FCC ID: PLRAX145500, Assessment NO.: AN05T5009, Notice#1 Page 1 of 1answer: Arcwave, Inc. , FCC ID: PLRAX145500, Assessment NO.: AN05T5009, Notice#1 8/30/2005 Hi Chris, Pls see our answer below. 1. The Test Report and the Theory of Operation exhibit have antenna descriptions of 20 degree 19dBi and 60 degree 15dBi. This differs from the manual specifications which have listed: AX1255-SM-90, 90 degree beam (10dBi), AX1255-SM-25, 20 degree beam (20dBi) and AX1255-VM-90, 90 degree beam (13dBi gain). Please correct this discrepancy and confirm if all 3 antennas mentioned in the Users Manual are to be approved in this application. <answer>user manual is revised to show the correct antenna gain(20 degree 19dBi and 60 degree 15dBi). 2. The maximum output power section of the report indicates operation of 5813-5845 MHz, however the remainder of the report indicates operation of 5813-5843 MHz. The Theory of Operation states that this device is capable of operation from 5813-5867 MHz. Please correct these discrepancies. <answer>test report and theory of op. are revised to show the correct operation of 5813-5843 MHz. Thanks, Claire <<AX1455 Theory of Operation(revised).pdf>> <<ARCXtend 5.8 GHz Users Manual(revised).pdf>> <<05U3489-1B FCC DTS Report(revised).pdf>>
