FCC Warning Statement

For FCC 15b Devices

This 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 in a residential installation. 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 or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more 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/TV technician for help.

FCC Part 15.21 Information for User

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Part 15.19

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.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement

1. This Transmitter has been demonstrated to meet co-location compliance
requirements with built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC. This transmitter must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.

RF Exposure for Cellular Phone - Cautions

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.

5

IMX-3000

Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept

2.0cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only
belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 2.0cm separation distance between
the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips,
holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The
use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, and should be avoided. Vehicle mounted external antenna (Optional,
if available) A minimum separation distance of 20cm must be maintained between the
user/bystander and the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This GPS Controller meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
GPS Controller is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. The exposure standard for wireless GPS Controllers employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the GPS Controller transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the GPS Controller while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the GPS Controller is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US model GPS
Controllers as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.280 W/kg.

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.

Laser Compliance

This device is classified as a Class 2 Laser Product and complies with:

• 21CFR1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,

dated July 26, 2001.

• EN60825-1:1994+ A1:2002 +A2:2001

• IEC60825-1:1993+A1:1997+A2:2001

CAUTION: CLASS 2 LASER RADIATION DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM
Output Radiation < 1mW. Emitted wavelength 650 - 670 nm

WARNING! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein or in the laser product's installation guide may result in hazardous radiation
exposure. To reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous radiation:

• Do not try to open the module enclosure. There are no user-serviceable components

inside.

• Do not operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures to the laser device

other than those specified herein.

• Allow only ADLINK service technicians to repair the unit.
