Industry Canada Regulations

IC ID: 5544A-ZB570TRIB12

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing 
Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not 
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation.

The term “IC:” before the radio certi

fi

 cation number only signi

fi

 es that Industry Canada technical 

speci

fi

 cations were met.

RF Exposure: The manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier 
operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be 
reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output is re-radiated and can cause interference to 
adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and 
not by an attenuator at the output of the device.

Cet appareillage numérique de la classe [B] répond à toutes les exigences de l’interférence 
canadienne causant des règlements d’équipement. L’opération est sujette aux deux conditions 
suivantes: (1) ce dispositif peut ne pas causer l’interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter 
n’importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris l’interférence qui peut causer l’opération peu désirée.

Le fabricant nominale de la puissance de sortie de ce matériel est simple transporteur. Pour les 
situations lorsque plusieurs signauxporteurs sont présents, l’évaluation devrait être réduite de 
3.5 dB, en particulier lorsque le signal de sortie est ré-émise et peut provoquer des interférences 
adjacentes à la bande utilisateurs. Ce pouvoir est de la réduction par le biais de la sortie 
d’alimentation ou la réduction de gain et non par un atténuateur à la sortie du dispositif. 

Please note: This unit has been approved for use in Canada under RSS 131, however, consent 
for the use of this device to improve cellular or PCS coverage, must be obtained through your 
cellular or PCS provider, prior to placing the unit in operation. Please refer to the Industry Canada 
document CPC 2-1-05, Section 6.1 available or viewable at:
