EMC Declaration of Conformity

This receiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device for radio noise for digital apparatus set out in the
Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Com­munication, and is pursuant to part 15 of the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reason­able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This receiver generates radio frequency. If it’s not used in accordance
with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio or televi­sion reception. Such interference can be determined by turning the re­ceiver off and on. You are encouraged to try eliminating the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the laser and the receiver.

For more information, consult your dealer or an experience
radio/television technician.
CAUTION: Changes or modications to the receiver that are not ex-
pressly approved by Trimble could void authority to use the equipment.
