Notice (Approval Pending)
This product is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D or non-hazardous locations only.
The transceiver has been recognized for use in these hazardous locations by the Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). The CSA certification for the transceiver is as a Recognized Component for use in these hazardous locations,
in accordance with CSA STD C22.2 No. 213-M1987.
Conditions of Approval: The transceiver is not acceptable as a stand-alone unit for use in the hazardous locations
described above. It must either be mounted within another piece of equipment which is certified for hazardous loca-
tions, or installed within guidelines, or conditions of approval, as set forth by the approving agencies. These conditions
of approval are as follows:
The transceiver must be mounted within a separate enclosure which is suitable for the intended application. The
antenna feedline, DC power cable and interface cable must be routed through conduit in accordance with the National
Electrical Code.
Installation, operation and maintenance of the transceiver must be in accordance with the transceiver's instruction
manual, and the National Electrical Code. Tampering or replacement with non-factory components may adversely
affect the safe use of the transceiver in hazardous locations, and may void the approval. A power connector with
screw-type retaining screws as supplied by MDS must be used.
Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to
be non-hazardous.
Refer to Articles 500 through 502 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) for further
information on hazardous locations and approved Division 2 wiring methods.

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired operation. This device is specifically designed to be used under Section 15.247 of
the FCC Rules and Regulations. Any unauthorized modification or changes to this device without the express approval

Professional installation required. The radio equipment described in this guide emits
radio frequency energy. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a
directional antenna may pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come closer than 23
cm (9 inches) to the antenna when the transmitter is operating in indoor or outdoor environ-
ments. More information on RF exposure is on the Internet at
