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.
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.
The device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below
and having a maximum gain of 5dBi*. Antennas not included in this list
or having a gain greater than 8dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Model 3GStation Professional antenna gain is 2dBi.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003
du Canada.
Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet
appareil ne peut pas provoquer d'interférences et (2) cet appareil doit
accepter toute interférence, y compris les interférences susceptibles de
provoquer un fonctionnement du dispositif.
Pour réduire le risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, l'antenne
type et son gain doivent être choisies de façon que l'équivalent puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (pire) n'est pas plus que cela autorisé pour
une communication réussie.
Le dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec les antennes énumérés
ci-dessous et ayant un gain maximal de 5dBi *. Antennes pas inclus dans
cette liste ou ayant un gain supérieur à 8dBi sont strictement interdite
pour une utilisation avec cet appareil. L'antenne doit impédance est de 50
