Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émet-
teur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain 
maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada .
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’inten-
tion des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain 
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p .i .r .e .) ne 
dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communica-
tion satisfaisante .
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applica-
bles 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 .
