FCC Class B Notice
NOTE: 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 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. There is no
guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you
are 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.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with
this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to
result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and
modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
ATTENTION:
• This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20 cm (7.9 inches) between the radiator and your body.
• Cet équipement est conforme aux limites de radiation de la FCC établies pour un
environnement non géré. Il doit être installé et contrôlé à une distance minimale de
20 cm (7,87 inches) entre le radiateur et votre corps.

IC Antenna Statement
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.
This radio transmitter (IC:10862A-EXT60150801) 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.
Type: Dipole
Maximum Peak Gain: 2 dBi
Impedance: 50 Ohm
MPE 20cm Applied
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 20cm between the radiator & your body.
