The following information applies if you use the product within Canada area. 

 

Industry Canada ICES Statement 

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B) 

 

Industry Canada RSS-GEN & RSS-247 statement 

 

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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. 

 

This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum 

permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, 

having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. 

If the product with 5G wireless function operating in 5150-5250 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz, the following attention must be paid, 

 

The device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference 

to co-channel mobile satellite systems. 

 

For devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz shall be 

such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as 

appropriate; and 

 

The worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask requirement set forth in Section 

6.2.2(3) of RSS 247 shall be clearly indicated. 

If the product with 5G wireless function operating in 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz , the following attention must be paid. 

 

For devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 

5470-5725 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limit. 

 

 

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. 

 

Le présent émetteur radio de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorieI) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour 

fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour 

chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, 

sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur. 

Lorsque la fonction sans fil 5G fonctionnant en 5150-5250 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz est activée pour ce produit , il est nécessaire 

de porter une attention particulière aux choses suivantes 

 

Les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de 

réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux; 

 

Pour les dispositifs munis d’antennes amovibles, le gain maximal d'antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande de 5 725 

à 5 850 MHz) doit être conforme à la limite de la p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l'exploitation point à point et l’exploitation non point à 

point, selon le cas; 

 

Les pires angles d’inclinaison nécessaires pour rester conforme à l’exigence de la p.i.r.e. applicable au masque d’élévation, et 

énoncée à la section 6.2.2 3) du CNR-247, doivent être clairement indiqués. 

Lorsque la fonction sans fil 5G fonctionnant en 5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz est activée pour ce produit , il est nécessaire de 

porter une attention particulière aux choses suivantes. 

 

Pour les dispositifs munis d’antennes amovibles, le gain maximal d'antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes de 5 

250 à 5 350 MHz et de 5 470 à 5 725 MHz doit être conforme à la limite de la p.i.r.e.
