equipment.
ATTENTION
For Class B - Unintentional Radiators:
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.
ATTENTION
ICES-003 Class B Notice—Avis NMB-003, Class B
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
ATTENTION
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different form that
to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
ATTENTION
This device complies with Industry Canada license-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.
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.
ATTENTION
This radio transmitter the Sensus CL200 has been approved by Industry
Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (Sensus CL200) a été approuvé par Industrie
Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous
et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque
type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont
le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits
pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
• Single internal Planer Inverted F Antenna (PIFA)
ATTENTION
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.
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.
