7 Regulatory+Approval+
!
The LinkStar-STX3 module has received regulatory approvals for modular devices in
the United States. Modular device approval allows the end user to place the STX3
module inside a finished product and not require regulatory testing for an intentional
radiator (RF transmitter), provided no changes or modifications are made to the module
circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the
sci_Zone and Globalstar, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions
necessary for compliance. The integrator is still responsible for testing the end product
for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (digital
device emission, PC peripheral requirements, etc.) in the specific country that the end
device will be marketed. For more information on regulatory compliance, refer to the
specific country radio regulations in the following sections.
!
7.1 Radio+Astronomy+Site+Avoidance+
!
The end user device must comply with the requirements for Radio Astronomy Site
avoidance as specified by the Globalstar National Science Foundation agreement of
2001. It must be compliant with CFR 25.213.
!
7.2 Regulatory+Notices+
The STX3 has received Federal Communications Commission authorization under FCC
Rules Part 25 as a modular transmitter. Final installation must be in compliance with
CFR 25.213 (see 7.1 above). The antenna installation and operating configurations of
this transmitter must satisfy MPE categorical Exclusion Requirements of 2.1091.
The STX3 module will satisfy FCC modular transmitter requirements only when used
with the antenna type specified in Appendix A. No power amplifiers may be used under
the terms of this modular approval. It is permissible to use different antenna
manufacturers provided the same antenna type that has similar inband and out-of-band
radiation patterns and antenna gain (equal to or less than the antenna gain listed above)
is used.
The module provides the Tallysman™ TW2500 with 50cm cable with SMA male
connector for an external antenna connected via the LinkStar-STX3-ME SMA
connector. Other antennas connected via the SMA connector cable of similar
performance can be used. Use of any antenna other than those listed in Appendix A will
require proof of compliance (peak gain).

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial, industrial,
aeronautical and space based 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.
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by sci_Zone, Inc and
Globalstar may render the device non-compliant to FCC and other regulatory body
standards for operation and may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC ID: 2ANKS-LINKSTAR-STX3
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.
