Declares that the radio equipment type
ComXS-320
is in compliance with
Directive 2014/53/EU
The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the
following internet address:
http://www.ime-actia.de/index.php/de/downloads/pdf
5.2 FCC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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
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.
5.2.1. FCC END PRODUCT LABELING INSTRUCTION
In accordance with 47 CFR § 15.19 the end product shall bear the following statement in a
conspicuous location on the device:
“This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.”
When the device is so small or for such use that it is not practicable to place the statement
above on it, the information shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction
manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or, alternatively, shall be placed on the container
in which the device is marketed. However, the FCC ID label must be displayed on the
device.
In case where the final product will be installed in locations where the end-consumeris
not able to see the FCC-ID and/or this statement, the FCC-ID and the statement shall be
also included in the end-product manual.
For an end product using the ComXS-320 there must be a label
containing, at least, the following information.
This device contains FCC ID: XB7-COMXS320
5.3 IC
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and2. this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause

User Manual
ComXS-320
IR14618B User Manual ComXS-320 11.05.2017 Page 11/12
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.
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; the maximum antenna gain
permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725
MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and the maximum antenna
gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply
with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-
point operation as appropriate.
Operation in the 5600-5650 MHz band is not allowed in Canada.
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority
users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that
these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN
devices.
This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should
be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between
the radiator & your body.
Cet appareil est conforme à la(aux) norme(s) RSS sans licence
d’Industry Canada. Son utilisation est soumise aux deux conditions
suivantes:
1. Cet appareil ne doit pas causer d’interférences et2. il doit
accepter toutes interférences reçues, y compris celles susceptibles
d’avoir des effets indésirables sur son fonctionnement.
Conformément aux réglementations d’Industry Canada, cet
émetteur radio ne peut fonctionner qu’à l’aide d’une antenne dont
le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) ont été approuvés pour cet
émetteur par Industry Canada. Pour réduire le risque
d’interférences avec d’autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d’antenne et son gain de telle sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e) ne soit pas supérieure à celle requise
pour obtenir une communication satisfaisante.
Le dispositif de fonctionnement dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz est
réservé à une utilisation en intérieur pour réduire le risque
d'interférences nuisibles à la co-canal systèmes mobiles par
satellite, le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé pour les appareils
dans les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz doit se

IR14618B User Manual ComXS-320 11.05.2017 Page 12/12
conformer à la pire limite, et le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé
pour les appareils dans la bande 5725-5825 MHz doivent être
conformes avec le pire limites spécifiées à point-à-ponctuelles et
non point-à-point de fonctionnement selon qu'il convient.
Opération dans la bande 5600-5650 MHz n'est pas autorisée au
Canada. Haute puissance radars sont désignés comme utilisateurs
principaux (c.-àutilisateurs prioritaires) des bandes 5250-5350 MHz
et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer des
interférences et / ou des dommages à dispositifs LAN-EL.
Cet équipement respecte les limites d’exposition aux rayonnements
IC RSS-102 définies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Il doit
être installé et utilisé en maintenant une distance minimum de 20
cm entre le radiateur et votre corps.
5.3.1. IC END PRODUCT LABELLING
