User Information (Part 15.105)

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:

reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver

connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

If you experience trouble with this equipment, please use the Return Material Authorization (RMA) feature available at the 
Online Customer Services at www.elstersolutions.com. Do not attempt to repair this equipment yourself unless you are replacing 
the entire module.

Compliance Statement (Part 15.19)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Class B digital apparatus requirements for ICES-003. 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 of the device.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may

Énoncé de conformité

Cet appareil est conforme à la Partie 15 des règles de la FCC et aux exigences relatives aux appareils numériques de classe B 
conformément à l'avis sur la compatibilité électromagnétique ACEM-3. L'utilisation de cet appareil est soumise aux deux 
conditions suivantes : (1) Cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d'interférences nocives et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toutes les 
interférences reçues notamment celles pouvant provoquer un fonctionnement intempestif de l'appareil.

Antenna Compliance

To reduce potential 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 permitted for successful communication. 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.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et 
d'un gain maximal (ouinférieur) 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.

Warning (Part 15.21)

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Elster could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 

RF Radiation Safety Guidelines 

The device should be installed in a location where there will be a separation greater than 20 cm (8 inches) from locations 
occupied by humans.

Collocation Statement

Collocation of simultaneously-transmitting (co-transmitting) antennas located within 20 cm of each other within a final product 
is not allowed.
