General Cautions

 

During operation there must be a separation distance of 20cm between all persons and the antenna.

 

Ensure that all used RF connectors are secure and properly terminated. 

 

 

When used in the US - FCC Caution

 

Caution: The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

 

Note: 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 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. 

 

This equipment complies with FCC’s RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) 
used for this transmitter must be installed and operated to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons 
and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Installers must ensure that 
20cm separation distance will be maintained between the device (excluding its handset) and users.

 

 

When used in Canada - ISED Caution

 

This device complies with RSS 210 of the Industry Canada Rules. 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 
cause undesired operation of the device.

 

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. 
L’exploitation est autorisée 

aux deux conditions suivantes :  

(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage 
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

 

 
 
This equipment complies with Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled environments. This equipment 
should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm 

may be adjusted according to actual calculation 

result

 between the radiator and your body. 

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 

Déclaration d’IC sur l’exposition aux radiations:

 

Cet éq

uipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux radiations définies par le Can

ada pour des environnements non 

contrôlés. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance minimum de 20 cm entre l’antenne et votre corps.

 

Cet émetteur ne doit pas être installé au même endroit ni utilisé avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur 

 

Acceptable Antennas

 

This device has been designed to operate with the antenna(s) listed below and having a maximum gain of 3 dBi. Antennas not 
included in this list or having a gain greater than 3 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna 
impedance is 50 ohms.

 

 

Acceptable antenna – 3dBi RFD whip.
