CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C
to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very
low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and ankles).
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.
ATTENTION
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements énoncées
pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux fréquences
radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une énergie RF très faible qui
est considérée conforme sans évaluation de l’exposition maximale autorisée. Cependant,
cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé en gardant une distance de 20 cm ou plus entre
le dispositif rayonnant et le corps (à l’exception des extrémités : mains, poignets, pieds et
chevilles).
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
IC (Industry Canada) Notice
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, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
The term “IC: ” before the certification/ registration number only signifies that the Industry
Canada technical specification were met.
Note de IC (Industrie Canada)
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.
L’expression “IC:” avant le numéro d’homologation/ enregistrement signifie seulement
que les specifications techniques d’Industrie Canada ont été respectées.
Para cumplimiento de la COFETEL:
“La operación de este equipo está sujeta a las siguientes dos condiciones:
(1) es posible que este equipo o dispositivo no cause interferencia perjudicial y
(2) este equipo o dispositivo debe aceptar cualquier interferencia, incluyendo la que pueda
causar su operación no deseada”
