This RANGE-R Handheld Through Wall Radar is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic
in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and may not be exported without proper authorization by the U.S.
Department of State.

in front of the unit and extends out ±80 degrees in a conical pattern.

region houses an antenna used to sense and reject nuisance
detections that may arise from operator-side motion. Failure to do so
could result in false alarms and degraded detection performance.

SAFETY SUMMARY
Inserting the batteries into the unit in the wrong orientation may cause
the batteries to overheat or explode. Care should be taken to insert the
batteries correctly. Failure to follow the appropriate procedure may
cause damage to the equipment.
The battery compartment is not internally watertight, thus care should
be exercised when the battery door is open to ensure liquids do not
enter the compartment where it is possible for them to leak into the
internal electronics. Failure to follow this caution may cause damage
to the equipment.
If the RANGE-R™ system is placed in the case with a side facing up,
the scan buttons may be pressed when the case is closed, causing the
unit to transmit. This will drain the batteries and may cause the system
to overheat. This may possibly damage the device.
This RANGE-R Handheld Through Wall Radar is controlled under the
U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and may not be
exported without proper authorization by the U.S. Department of State.

FCC COMPLIANCE
WARNING
Do not open the unit. There are no user serviceable parts contained
within the unit, and opening or tampering with it will void the FCC
certification and the manufacturer’s warranty.
This device is approved for use by the FCC under FCC Order DA 09-2482, FCC ID
YKD-25TWD3000.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by L-3
CyTerra could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
“This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
“NOTE: 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/TV technician for help.
