Equipment Rating
Regulatory Information
USA Electromagnetic Interference Regulatory Statement
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15, subpart B compliance
in the United States of America. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to ensure
compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the user documentation, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Canada Electromagnetic Interference Regulatory Statement
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference.
Caution: This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not provide
adequate protection to radio reception in such environments.
This is a class A, group 1 product.
Class A equipment: Equipment that is, by virtue of its characteristics, highly unlikely to be
used in a residential environment, including a home business shall be classified as class A
and shall comply with the class A limits specified in the applicable ICES standard.
Characteristics considered in this assessment include price, marketing and advertising
methodology, the degree to which the functional design inhibits applications suitable to
residential environments, or any combination of features that would effectively preclude the
use of such equipment in a residential environment.
Class B equipment: Equipment that cannot be classified as Class A shall comply with the
Class B limits specified in the applicable ICES standard.
Group 1 equipment: group 1 contains all equipment which is not classified as group 2
equipment, and includes equipment such as laboratory and scientific equipment, industrial
process, measurement and control equipment.
Group 2 equipment: group 2 contains all ISM RF equipment in which radio-frequency energy
in the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz is intentionally generated and used or only used
locally, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, inductive and/or capacitive coupling, for the
treatment of material for inspection/analysis purposes, or for transfer of electromagnetic
energy.

General Wireless Compliance Related Information
Your unit comes with an internal wireless module (adapter) and antenna for which the
information hereafter applies:
This product does not contain any wireless user-serviceable components. Any unauthorized
product changes or modifications will invalidate warranty and all applicable regulatory
certifications and approvals.
Canada and USA Wireless Compliance Related Information
Your unit comes with an internal wireless module (adapter) and antenna for which the
information hereafter applies:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
This device complies with Innovation, Sciences and Economic Development Canada
license-exempt RSS standards.
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.
Use in Specific Environments:
The use of wireless products in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the
safety directors of such environments.
The use of wireless products on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA).
The use of wireless products in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment.
This wireless product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
and 5.470 to 5.75 GHz frequency ranges.
Innovation, Sciences and Economic Development Canada requires this product to be used
indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
High-power radars are allocated as the primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz, and 5.65 to
5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage to this
device.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product complies with the US/Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended operation as described in this user
documentation.
Further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the device can be kept as far as possible
from the user’s body. For compliance to RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) must be maintained between the EXFO EX device and
the user or bystanders.
