Equipment description
Itron Mobile Radio
Model: IMR
FCC ID: EO9IMRA
IC: 864A-IMRA
HVIN: IMRA
FCC USA intentional radiator compliance statement
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.
FCC USA un-intentional radiator compliance statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
ISED Canada compliance statements
Compliance Statement Canada Déclaration de Conformité
Under Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved
for the transmitter by Innovation, Science and
Economic Development 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
Compliance Statement Canada Déclaration de Conformité
l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.
This device complies with Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada licenseexempt 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 radio électrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Caution: ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Use only approved accessories with this equipment. In general all cables must be
high quality, shielded, and correctly terminated. Unapproved modifications or
operation beyond or in conflict with these instructions for use, may void authorization
by the authorities to operate the equipment.
Important: Changes or modifications to the device or its antenna not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the device.
Transportation classification
The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits operating transmitters and receivers on all
commercial aircraft. When powered, Itron Mobile Radios are considered operating
transmitters and receivers and cannot be shipped by air with the battery installed. To ship by
air, remove the battery and follow li-ion shipping regulations
Specific absorption rate data
The FCC ID: EO9IMRA and IC: 864A-IMRA and HVIN: IMRA model of Itron Mobile Radio
meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your Itron Mobile Radio
has a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile and/or portable devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg1. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada with the radio transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all test frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the radio while operating can be well below the
maximum level. This is because the Radio is designed to operate at multiple power levels,
depending on the needs of the customer.
Before an Itron Mobile Radio is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC and Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, worn on the
body) and reported to the FCC and made available for review by Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada. The highest SAR value for this Itron Mobile Radio, model
IMR when tested for use when worn on the body as described in the user’s guide is 0.25
W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various Itron Mobile Radio
models and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements for safe
exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in
the SAR value for later products; and in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
----------------------
1
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for wireless mobile and/or portable devices
used by the public is 1.6 W per kilogram averaged over 1 g of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to get additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Warning
: Use this device only in a manner consistent with the Itron Mobile Radio
