Wireless Remote Transmitter Installation Manual

The  SiteSync IQ Remote Transmitter is furnished with a wireless transmitter. In the USA, these Radio Frequency (RF) transmitters operate 

in the licensed UHF business band at 450 to 470 MHz. The SiteSync IQ Remote Transmitter needs to be licensed. For USA customers, 

American Time offers the use of a shared nationwide FCC license, call sign WQFW336. In the USA and its territories, this allows nationwide 

wireless system operation on the following 5 frequencies up to 100 watts of power, except near the Canadian border*:
                     464.600 MHz          464.625 MHz          464.650 MHz          464.675 MHz          464.700 MHz

If you wish to use an existing license in the 450-470 MHz band, or obtain a fixed license for your site, please contact American Time at 866-

748-3796.
*This shared nationwide license is limited to 5 watts power North of Line A and East of Line C, as defined by a treaty with Canada. Please 

check the FCC label on the back of your remote transmitter to determine the 5W transmitter FCC ID.
