The operating characteristics of the Merlin 2 PCS and its accessories are as follows:
Inductive Telemetry Wand
 RF Transmission – Carrier frequency below 100 kHz (inductive telemetry).
Merlin™ Antenna
 MICS band: 402-405 MHz. The effective radiated power is below the limits as specified in:
- Europe: EN ETSI 301 839
- USA: FCC 47 CFR Part 95; 95.601-95.673 Subpart E, 95.1201-95.1219
The following is applicable to Canada only:
This device may not interfere with stations operating in the 400.150-406.000 MHz band in the
meteorological aids, meteorological-satellite, and earth exploration-satellite services and must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Maintain a reasonable distance between other electronic equipment and the
Merlin™ 2 PCS and its accessories.
CAUTION: This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Medical Implant
Communications Service (part 95 of the FCC Rules) and must not cause harmful
interference to stations operating in the 400.150 - 406.000 MHz band in the
Meteorological Aids (that is, transmitters and receivers used to communicate weather
data), the Meteorological Satellite, or the Earth Exploration Satellite Services and must
accept interference that may be caused by such aids, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. This transmitter shall be used only in accordance with the
FCC Rules governing the Medical Implant Communications Service.
Analog and digital voice communications are prohibited. Although this transmitter has
been approved by the Federal Communications Commission, there is no guarantee that
it will not receive interference or that any particular transmission from this transmitter
will be free from interference.
Operation of the Merlin™ Antenna requires that it is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device. Please refer to other parts of this manual for operating
precautions and suggestions on how to minimize any interference to or from other
electronic devices in the area.
Bluetooth Wireless Communication
 2.402 to 2.4835 GHz: The effective radiated power is below the limits as specified in:
- Europe: EU EN 300 328
- USA: FCC Part 15 Subpart C paragraph 15.247 FCC 47 CFR Part 95; 95.601-95.673
Subpart E
Quality of Service for Wireless Technology
