Microtek MiniLink - Manual (Page 2)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
For your protection, please read and observe all safety instructions before operating this system and keep this sheet and
any additional instructions for future reference.
INSTALLATION & USE
OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully followed. Do not make any
modifications to the WEM, PIM, or any other MicroTek electronic device, as the unit will no longer comply with FCC
regulations and therefore cancel its warranty.
WATER AND MOISTURE: The Wireless Ethernet Modules used in this system are weatherproof provided they are
installed in accordance to the mounting details listed on page 7 (or included dish manual for the 30-mile systems).
However, further protection or housing is suggested for harsh environments, as moisture damage voids its warranty (as
described on page 22). The Power Injection Modules used in this system are NOT weatherproof. None of the modules
in this system are waterproof and should never be submerged. Severe electrical shock, personal injury or damage to the
equipment may result.
POWER SOURCE: Connect the equipment to a power source only of the type described on the operating instructions or
as marked on the equipment. Excessive or insufficient amperage or voltage can cause extended trouble-shooting or even
damage that could negate its warranty. The power supplies’ cable should not be modified/extended due to the ability to
use up to 300 feet of power over Ethernet (see pg 7, part D). In addition, Ethernet cable running from the PIM to the
WEM should be kept separated from high-voltage cables and/or transformers.
ATTACHMENTS: Use only MicroTek supplied or recommended Power Injection Modules, Power Supplies, CAT5
Cables and weather seals and plugs.
WHEN NOT IN USE: Unplug the power if the equipment is left unattended or unused for long periods of time or
during lightning storms.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, use only replacement parts specified by MicroTek
Electronics, Inc. Unauthorized substitutions may result in damage to the system and will void the warranty.
FCC-Required Information Federal Communications Commission
Radio Frequency Interference Statement for Class A Digital Devices
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 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 a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
frequencies. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This equipment is designed to be professionally installed exclusively for fixed point-to-point applications. These products
must be controlled due to radio frequency power output levels emitted with special consideration given to antenna
placement as it relates to human exposure. Compliance is the responsibility of the installer and user.
Radio Frequency Interface Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an intentional radiator, pursuant to Part 15,
Subpart C of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause interference to radio communications. The limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential situation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the affected radio or television.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the affected receiver.
• Connect the equipment and the affected receiver to power outlets on separate circuits.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with Class A FCC limits. Changes or modifications to
this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the
equipment. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by MicroTek could void the users authority to operate the
equipment.
