Safety Warnings
RF Radiation Hazard Warning
To ensure compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure requirements, this device must
be installed in a location where the antennas of the device will have a minimum distance of at
least 20 cm from all persons. Using higher gain antennas and types of antennas not certified for
use with this product is not allowed. The device shall not be co-located with another transmitter.
Installez l'appareil en veillant à conserver une distance d'au moins 20 cm entre les éléments
rayonnants et les personnes. Cet avertissement de sécurité est conforme aux limites d'exposition
définies par la norme CNR-102 at relative aux fréquences radio.
Regulatory Information
IC Statements
This Class (A or B) digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. 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 than that necessary for successful
communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject
to thefollowing two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept anyinterference,including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a

Regulatory Information
Déclaration de conformité IC:
Cet appareil numérique de la classe (A or B) est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
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 radioélectrique à l'intention des
autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.
Ce matériel respecte les standards RSS exempt de licence d’Industrie Canada. Son utilisation est
soumise aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit causer aucune interférence, et
(2) l’appareil doit accepter toute interférence, quelle qu’elle soit, y compris les interférences
susceptibles d’entraîner un fonctionnement non requis de l’appareil.
Selon la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, ce radio-transmetteur ne peut utiliser qu’un seul type
d’antenne et ne doit pas dépasser la limite de gain autorisée par Industrie Canada pour les
transmetteurs. Afin de réduire les interférences potentielles avec d’autres utilisateurs, le type
d’antenne et son gain devront être définis de telle façon que la puissance isotrope rayonnante
équivalente (EIRP) soit juste suffisante pour permettre une bonne communication.
