p400 Regulatory Requirements

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 frequ ency 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 equip ment 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.

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 interferenc e, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

WARNING: INTEGRATION:

To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance
with the module(s) installed and is fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an
unintentional radiator under the Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a
module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that after the module is installed and operational
the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on
the details of how the module is integrated with the host. This module is certified for Fixed and Mobile Applications
only, for portable applications you will require a new certification.

WARNING: 900MHz Operation:

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 23 cm or more
should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure
compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter
must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. MAXIMUM EIRP FCC Regulations
allow up to 36 dBm equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP). Therefore, the sum of the transmitted power
(in dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain cannot exceed 36 dBm.

WARNING: 400MHz Operation:

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance is based on th e
above them ranging from 24 cm to 77 cm between the antenna of this device and persons during d evice operation.
To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this
transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
