FCC Compliance
Definition
Class A digital device. A digital device that is marketed for use in a commercial,
industrial or business environment, exclusive of a device which is marketed for use by the
general public or is intended to be used in the home.
Compliance
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 communications. 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/her own expense.
Antenna Requirements
The AdvanTag 9180 antenna is removable and does not employ a unique connector;
however, the ATR-9180 is professionally installed and maintained by Asyst trained
engineers and technicians. Therefore, the AdvanTag 9180 complies with FCC 15.203. In
addition, the antenna is design by Asyst Technologies, Inc specifically for the AdvanTag
9180 and substituting a different antenna will cause the AdvanTag 9180 to not function
and will violate FCC rules.
CAUTION
GENERAL HAZARD
ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE ATR-9180,
WITHOUT SPECIFIC WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM ASYST
TECHNOLOGIES, WILL VOID FCC COMPLIANCE.
