FCC Statements
Changes or modications not expressly approved by
Slingmax® Rigging Solutions could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
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 A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference when the equipment is operated in a com-
mercial 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.
CANADA
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-ex-
empt 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie
Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux condi-
tions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de
brouillage, et (2) l'appareil doit accepter tout brouil-
lage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
This device has been designed to operate with the
antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of
2 dBi (base station antenna) and 3 dBi (node antenna).
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain
greater than 2 dBi (base station antenna) and 3 dBi
(node antenna) are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
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 permitted for successful
communication.
WARNING!
FCC and IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC’s and IC’s RF
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment under the following conditions:
1. This equipment should be installed and operated
such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is
maintained between the radiator (antenna) &
user’s/nearby person’s body at all times.
2. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
