4 .Cautions and Notices
This equipment is designed for use and installation in a vehicle. It can be
mounted in a vehicle’s center console or trunk. Installation must be performed
by professionals.
The equipment should be connected only to PoE networks without routing
to the outside plant.
Safety Cautions
This symbol (a lightning flash in a triangle) is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated voltage within the product’s enclosure
that can be high enough to constitute a risk of electric shock to human
bodies.
This symbol (an exclamation mark in a triangle) is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance information
in the document(s) accompanying the product.
This equipment must be grounded before input power is connected.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cabinet cover. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact qualified service personnel if
servicing is required.
Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture. Keep the equipment away
from risks of dripping or splashing liquids.
Use the recommended accessories only.
Allow adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not cover or block any
ventilation openings. There must be at least 4 cm (1.6 inch) clearance at both
sides of the unit to permit unobstructed airflow both to and from the unit.
Battery Cautions
There is danger of explosion or fire if the battery is handled improperly.
Replace only with the same or specified type.
Do not disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Do not store in temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F).
Use specified charger for rechargeable batteries.

Do not recharge the battery if it is not a rechargeable type.
Do not leave the battery in a vehicle exposed to direct sunlight for a long
period of time with doors and windows closed.
For memory backup battery: There is danger of explosion if the battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Consult
qualified service personnel when replacement is required.
USA Regulations
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.
To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions
and do not make any unauthorized modifications.
FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 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 instruction manual, 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.
Warning:
To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the user must only use shielded
interface cables when connecting to external units. Also, any unauthorized
changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user’s authority to
operate this device.
Canada Regulations
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

This device complies with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits adopted by the
Federal Communications Commission for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should operate with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator
& your body.
This equipment complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated to ensure a minimum of 20 cm
spacing to any person at all times.
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.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of
information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to
prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive
codes where required by the technology.
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.
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.
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.
Les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont reserves uniquement
pour une utilisation a l’interieur afin de reduire les risques de brouillage
prejudiciable aux systemes de satellites mobiles utilisant les memes canaux.
Le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5250-
5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz doit se conformer a la limite de p.i.r.e.
Le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-
5825 MHz) doit se conformer a la limite de p.i.r.e. specifiee pour l’exploitation
point a point et non point a point, selon le cas.
De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi etre avises que les utilisateurs de radars
de haute puissance sont designes utilisateurs principaux (c.-ad., qu’ils ont la
priorite) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars
pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
