Owner’s Manual

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioé­lectrique
à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte
que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité néces­saire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
