SMART-MR10/15 User Manual Rev 5 7
Notices
Notices
The SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 are designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile
applications. "Fixed" means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be
easily moved to another location. "Mobile" means that the device is designed to be used in other than
fixed locations. These products are not designed to be used as “Portable” devices in applications
where they would be closer than 20 cm (8 inches) to the user or any other personnel.
In the case of the SMART-MR15, it is important to follow any special regulations regarding the use of
radio equipment due in particular to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference. Please follow
the safety advice given below carefully.
The following notices apply, as appropriate, to the SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by NovAtel Inc.
could result in violation of FCC, Industry Canada and CE Marking rules and void the
user’s authorization to operate this equipment.
Safety
Personnel must be at least 20 cm (8 inches) from the SMART-MR15 cellular antenna.
The SMART-MR15 cellular antenna must be mounted such that personnel are never
closer than 20 cm (8 inches) to it. For antenna installations on non-metallic vehicle cab
roofs, users should exercise extra care that the 20 cm separation distance between the
antenna and personnel inside the vehicle will be maintained on the basis of an
imaginary line passing through the roof between the antenna and the body of the
operator or any passengers.
Switch OFF your SMART-MR10/15 when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and
before filling your vehicle with fuel. Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment
in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your SMART-MR10/15 close
to inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids and
pacemakers. Consult the manufacturers of the medical device to determine if it is
adequately protected.
Operation of your SMART-MR10/15 close to other electronic equipment may also
cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning
signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
8 SMART-MR10/15 User Manual Rev 5
Notice
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada regulations limiting both maximum RF
output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum system gain (antenna
gain minus system loss) must not exceed 0.9 dBi in the U.S. Cellular band and 3.0 dBi
in the PCS band for the GSM/GPRS/HSDPA variant, and 6.0 dBi in the Cellular band
and 6.0 dBi in the PCS band for the CDMA variant. System loss is the total of external
cable and connector losses and SMART-MR15 internal losses. For reference and
system gain calculation purposes, the SMART-MR15 has internal losses of 0.6 dB for
the 800 MHz Cellular band and 1.8 dB for the 1900 MHz PCS band.
FCC
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.
SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 have been tested and found to comply with the emission limits for
a Class B digital device. The Class B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 have been
certified by FCC for use in the 2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz band (FCC ID # UTU01018518).
There are two versions of the SMART-MR15 - a CDMA version and a GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version.
The CDMA version (NovAtel part number 01018606) contains FCC ID # RI7CC864-DUAL and the
GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version (NovAtel part number 01018712) contains FCC ID # RI7UC864G.
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:
• Re-orient or relocate the SMART-MR10/15
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the SMART-MR10/15
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
SMART-MR10/15 is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
In order to maintain compliance as a Class “B” digital device, shielded cables must be
used for the RS-232 serial data ports (Belden 1036A or equivalent) and twisted pair
cable should be used for the CAN port (note: shielded twisted pair will also improve
CAN performance in electrically harsh environments). I/O signals should be referred to
one of the two signal grounds (connector pin 9 or connector pin 15) and not power
ground (connector pin 2). If I/O signals route to different areas of the vehicle, dedicated
signal grounds for I/O should be spliced into a common connection to one of the two
signal grounds (pin 9 or pin 15), at a point close to the SMART-MR10/15.
SMART-MR10/15 User Manual Rev 5 9
Notice
Industry Canada
SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 Class B digital apparatuses comply with Canadian ICES-003.
SMART-MR10 et SMART-MR15 appareils numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB003 du Canada.
A-tick Marking
The SMART-MR15-HSPA carries the A-tick compliance mark.
CE Marking
SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 enclosures carry the CE mark.
“Hereby, NovAtel Inc. declares that the SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 comply with the essential
