CAUTION
• Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
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.
• 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.
Section 15.525 Coordination requirements.
(a) UWB imaging systems require coordination through the FCC before the
equipment may be used. The operator shall comply with any constraints on
equipment usage resulting from this coordination.
(b) The users of UWB imaging devices shall supply operational areas to
the FCC Ofce of Engineering and Technology, which shall coordinate
this information with the Federal Government through the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration. The information
provided by the UWB operator shall include the name, address and other
pertinent contact information of the user, the desired geographical area(s)
of operation, and the FCC ID number and other nomenclature of the UWB
device. If the imaging device is intended to be used for mobile applications,
the geographical area(s) of operation may be the state(s) or county(ies) in
which the equipment will be operated. The operator of an imaging system
used for xed operation shall supply a specic geographical location or the
address at which the equipment will be operated. This material shall be
submitted to the following address:

Frequency Coordination Branch, OET
Federal Communications Commission
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, D.C. 20554
Attn: UWB Coordination
(c) The manufacturers, or their authorized sales agents, must inform
purchasers and users of their systems of the requirement to undertake
detailed coordination of operational areas with the FCC prior to the
equipment being operated.
(d) Users of authorized, coordinated UWB systems may transfer them
to other qualied users and to different locations upon coordination of
change of ownership or location to the FCC and coordination with existing
authorized operations.
(e) The FCC/NTIA coordination report shall identify those geographical
areas within which the operation of an imaging system requires additional
coordination or within which the operation of an imaging system is prohibited.
If additional coordination is required for operation within specic geographical
areas, a local coordination contact will be provided. Except for operation
within these designated areas, once the information requested on the UWB
imaging system is submitted to the FCC no additional coordination with the
FCC is required provided the reported areas of operation do not change. If
the area of operation changes, updated information shall be submitted to the
FCC following the procedure in paragraph (b) of this section.
(f) The coordination of routine UWB operations shall not take longer than
15 business days from the receipt of the coordination request by NTIA.
Special temporary operations may be handled with an expedited turn-
around time when circumstances warrant. The operation of UWB systems
in emergency situations involving the safety of life or property may occur
without coordination provided a notication procedure, similar to that
contained in Section 2.405(a) through (e) of this chapter, is followed by the
UWB equipment user.
For Canadian Customers only
This In-wall Radar Imaging Device shall be operated where the device
is directed at the wall and in contact with or within 20 cm of the wall
surface. This In-wall Radar Imaging Device shall be operated only by law
enforcement agencies, scientic research institutes, commercial mining
companies, construction companies, and emergency rescue or reghting
organizations.
Operation is subject to the following 2 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.
