FCC ID: UFW-ALADDIN-NA
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules:

Operation is subject to the following 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
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 o f 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
Federal Communications Commission
