FCC Information
FCC ID: SO4YX545-PCS-CEL
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by zBoost 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 the 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 to 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 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radio frequency
fields, the radiating element (antenna) shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm (8in) is maintained from all persons.
Industry Canada Regulations
Canada IC: 5544A-YX545PCSCEL
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 certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications 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.
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: http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/smt-gst.nsf/en/sf08942e.html
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 signaux porteurs
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.
