FCC 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/ TV technician for help.
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.
2） This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
“To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this grant is applicable to only
Mobile Configurations. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
CANADIAN COMPLIANCES STATEMENT
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
(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,
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENT
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Cat
egory II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed
below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each ante
nna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son n
uméro de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie C
anada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain a
dmissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'anten
ne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont
strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an ant
enna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Ca
nada. 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 t
han that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fo
nctionner 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 radioélec
trique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de s
orte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité n
écessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Complies with the Canadian ICES-003 Class B specifications.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
