FCC ComplianCe Class B Digital DeviCe 

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 

of the following measures:

• 

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.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola for compliance could void the user’s 

authority to operate the equipment.
For operation within 5.15 ~5.25GHz /5.25 ~5.35GHz/5.47 ~5.725GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor 

environment. The band from 5600-5650MHz will be disabled by the software during the manufacturing and 

cannot be changed by the end user. This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 

15.407 of the FCC Rules.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Canada Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This 

equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum 

(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other 

users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is 

not more than that necessary for successful communication.
NOTE IMPORTANTE: (Pour l’utilisation de dispositifs mobiles)
Déclaration d’exposition aux radiations:
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un environnement non 

contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de 

rayonnement et votre corps.
En vertu de la réglementation de l’industrie au Canada, cet émetteur radio peut fonctionner uniquement à l’aide 

d’une antenne d’un type et un maximum (ou moins) de gain approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour 

réduire le risque d’interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d’antenne et son gain doivent être choisis afin que 

la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui est nécessaire pour une communication 

réussie.
