Communications Regulation 
Information

The PASPORT AirLink

2

 (PS-2010) complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. 

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) The AirLink

2

 may 

not cause harmful interference, and (2) the AirLink

2

 must accept any inter-

ference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion. See instructions below if interference to radio and television reception 
is suspected.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna 
used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction 
with any other antenna or transmitter. . 

Radio and Television Interference

The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate 
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly-that is, in 
strict accordance with instructions from PASCO scientific, it may cause 
interference with radio and television reception.

The AirLink

2

 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of 
the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable 
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, 
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation.

You can determine whether the AirLink

2

 is causing interference by discon-

necting it from the computer. If the interference stops, it was probably 
caused by the AirLink

2

.

If the AirLink

2

 does cause interference to radio or television reception, try 

to correct the interference by using one or more of the following remedies:

••

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops;

••

Move the AirLink

2

 to one side or the other of the device;

••

Move the AirLink

2

 further from the television or radio.

If these remedies do not correct the problem, consult with an experienced 
radio or television technician for additional suggestions.

Important:

 Changes or modifications to the AirLink

2

 not authorized by 

PASCO scientific. could void the FCC Certification and negate your 
authority to operate the product. Responsible party (FCC matters only): 
David Stogner, PASCO scientific, 10101 Foothills Blvd., Roseville, CA,

High Risk Activities Warning

Connect only approved sensors to the AirLink

2
