Term Explanation

Duplexer

Duplexer is a device that allows bi-directional communication. Its role is to isolate the TX signal from the
RX signal to ensure that the transmitter and receiver can work normally.

Feed Line

Feed Line is the cable or transmission line that connects the antenna with the radio transmitter or
receiver.

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)

VSWR is a value that measures how well a load is impedance-matched to a source.

Squelch

Squelch is a circuit function that acts to suppress the audio output of a receiver in the absence of a
sufficiently strong desired input signal.

RF Radiation Information

RF Radiation Profile

Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are
transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and other fields.
It may generate radiation during use.

RF Radiation Safety

In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine
and health work with international organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF radiation.
These standards consist of:
¾ United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2

sub-part J;

¾ American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Enginee rs (IEEE)

C95. 1-1992;

¾ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999;
¾ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998;

FCC Regulations

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requires that all radio communication products should meet
the requirements set forth in the above standards before they can be marketed in the U.S, and the
manufacturer shall post a RF label on the product to inform users of operational instructions, so as to
enhance their occupational health against exposure to RF energy.
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.
Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits,This equipment should be operated with minimum distance 350cm between the radiator&
your body.

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF energy
exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should always adhere to the followings:

z Gain of antenna must not exceed 6.5dBi.
z Antenna Installation: install the antenna at least 3.5 meters away from your body, in accordance with

the requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.

EU Regulatory Conformance

As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of the Directive 1999/5/EC. Please note that the above information is applicable
to EU countries only.

IC Regulations

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation

of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne
doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has
been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de
modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et
l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste,
ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits,This equipment should be operated with minimum distance 350cm between the radiator&
your body.
Pour contrôler votre exposition et assurer le respect des valeurs limites d'exposition professionnelles
environnement / contrôlée, cet équipement doit être utilisé avec une distance minimale de 350 cm entre le
radiateur et votre corps.
