FCC Notice (for U.S. Customers):

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules:
Operation is subject to the following conditions:

1. This device many not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, Including interference that may cause

undesired operation

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Operation of this device is restricted to law enforcement, fire and rescue officials, scientific research
institutes, commercial mining companies, and construction companies. Operation by any other party is a
violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties.

Coordination Requirements

(a) UWB imaging systems require coordination through the FCC before the equipment may be used. The
operator shall comply with any constraints on equipment usage resulting from this coordination.

(b) The users of UWB imaging devices shall supply detailed operational areas to the FCC Office of
Engineering and Technology who shall coordinate this information with the Federal Government through
the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The information provided by the
UWB operator shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information of the user, the
desired geographical area of operation, and the FCC ID number and other nomenclature of the UWB
device. This material shall be submitted to the following address:

Frequency Coordination Branch, OET

ATTN: UWB Coordination

(d) Users of authorized, coordinated UWB systems may transfer them to other qualified users and to
different locations upon coordination of change of ownership or location to the FCC and coordination
with existing authorized operations.

(e) The NTIA/FCC coordination report shall include any needed constraints that apply to day-to-day
operations. Such constraints could specify prohibited areas of operations or areas located near authorized
radio stations for which additional coordination is required before operation of the UWB equipment. If
additional local coordination is required, a local coordination contact will be provided.

(f) The coordination of routine UWB operations shall not take longer than 15 business days from the
receipt of the coordination request by NTIA. Special temporary operations may be handled with an
expedited turn-around time when circumstances warrant. The operation of UWB systems in emergency
situations involving the safety of life or property may occur without coordination provided a notification
procedure, similar to that contained in CFR47 Section 2.405(a)-(e), is followed by the UWB equipment
user.
