Complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC INTERFERENCE STATEMENT FOR CLASS B DEVICES
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 or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- 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.
A shielded type Ethernet cord is required to meet FCC Class B emission limits and prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The antenna is considered an integral system component. Use of any antenna other than those specified in the installation manual or supplied with the product may void the product’s compliance.
FCC RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
INDUSTRY CANADA COMPLIANT
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
CONCERNING RADIO TRANSMITTERS
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference; and
- This device must accept any interference, including that may cause undesired operation of the device. 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.
INDUSTRY CANADA – RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT
To comply with Industry Canada RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
AUSTRALIAN RADIO COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT – RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT
The equipment complies with the Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation – Human Exposure) Standard 2014 for General Public Exposure, Non-Aware User, for a Compliance Level 2 Radiocommunications Equipment, when the minimum safety distance is adhered to, and shall bear the RCM.
