User Manual Notice for License-Exempt Radio Appara-
tus (from Section 8.4, RSS-Gen, Issue 5, March 2019):
User manuals for license-exempt radio apparatus shall
contain the following or equivalent notice in a conspic-
uous location in the user manual or alternatively, on the
device or both:

Transmitter  Antenna  (from  Section  6.8  RSS-GEN,
Issue 5,  March  2019):  User  manuals  for  transmitters
shall  display  the  following  notice  in  a  conspicuous
location:

Immediately following the above notice, the manufac-
turer shall provide a list of all antenna types approved
for  use  with  the  transmitter,  indicating  the  maximum
permissible  antenna  gain  (in  dBi)  and  required
impedance for each.

11.2.2

RF EXPOSURE

All transmitters regulated by the Innovation, Science and
Economic  Development  Canada  (ISED)  must  comply
with RF exposure requirements listed in RSS-102 - Radio
Frequency  (RF)  Exposure  Compliance  of  Radio
Communication Apparatus (all frequency bands).
This  transmitter  is  restricted  for  use  with  a  specific
antenna tested in this application for certification, and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitters within a host device,
except  in  accordance  with  Innovation,  Science  and
Economic  Development  Canada  multitransmitter
guidelines.
The installation of the transmitter must ensure compliance
is demonstrated according to the ISED SAR procedures.
