FCC Warni ng   

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. 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. 

Any changes or modifications to this device without the express written consent of Nova Engineering, Inc. 

may void the user’s authority to operate the device. 

This device must be professionally installed. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that proper 

antenna and cable combinations are used in order to remain within FCC Part 15 limits. 

The NovaRoam MH902 is specifically designed to close the longest possible links. This goal is 

accomplished in part by delivering the highest permissible RF output power to the antenna per the FCC 

Part 15 Rules. In August 1996, the FCC adopted RF exposure guidelines that established safety levels 

for various categories of wireless transceivers. Those limits are consistent with safety standards 

previously published by the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP) Report 86, §17.4.1, 

§17.4.1.1, §17.4.2, and §17.4.3 as well as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in §4.1 of 

"IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic 

Fields, 3kHz to 300GHz," ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992.  

The NovaRoam MH902 complies with these FCC exposure guidelines when the following precautions are 

obeyed:  

 

Only install the exact antennas recommended in this User Manual. 

 

The cable run for the selected antenna must exceed the minimum length quoted in this User 

Manual. 

 

All persons must maintain a minimum separation of 12" (30.48cm) from any NovaRoam MH902 

antenna.  

 

You should disconnect the AC/DC input power source from the NovaRoam MH902 whenever 

repositioning the antenna. You are responsible for taking the necessary steps to ensure that these 

guidelines are communicated to all persons that may come near the NovaRoam MH902 antennas.
