This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules / Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables auxappareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

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:

Reorien t or relocate the receiving antenna. Increas e the separat ion between th e equipment a nd receiver. Connect the equipmen t into an outle t on a circuit different fro m that to whic h the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experience d radio/TV te chnician for h elp.

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.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé risques de brouillage sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas d'une communication satisfaisante.

MPE Requirements

To satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation.To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended.

Les antennes installées doivent être situées de facon à ce que la population ne puissey être exposée à une distance de moin de 20 cm. Installer les antennes de facon à ceque le personnel ne puisse approcher à 20 cm ou moins de la position centrale de l’antenne.
