English:
This device complies with FCC Part 15. 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.
This device complies with Health Canada's Safety Code. The installer of this device should ensure that RF
radiation is not emitted in excess of the Health Canada's requirement. Information can be obtained at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct-eng.php.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada's license-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1 This device may not cause interference.
2 This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
Antenna Stmt for ISED:
This device has been designed to operate with antennas that are selected for the location-specific use. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. The maximum Antenna Gain is specified in Table 5 on page 19.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least the
minimum distance calculated in Table 5 from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antennas or transmitters. Users and Installers must be provided with antenna
installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions to ensure RF exposure compliance.
French:

L'emetteur/recepteur exempt de licence contenu dans le present appareil est conforme aux CNR
d'Innovation, Sciences et Developpement economique Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L'exploitation est autorisee aux deux conditions suivantes :
1 L'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
2 L'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioelectrique subi, meme si le brouillage est susceptible
d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Antenne Stmt pour ISDE:
Cet appareil a ete conçu pour fonctionner avec des antennes selectionnees pour une utilisation specifique
a l'emplacement. L'impedance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms. Le gain d'antenne maximum est specifie
dans le tableau 5. La ou les antennes utilisees pour cet emetteur doivent etre installees de maniere a
fournir une distance de separation d'au moins la distance minimale calculee dans le tableau 5 de toutes
les personnes et ne doivent pas etre colocalisees ou fonctionner dans en conjonction avec toute autre
antenne ou emetteur. Les utilisateurs et les installateurs doivent recevoir les instructions d'installation
de l'antenne et les conditions de fonctionnement de l'emetteur pour garantir la conformite a l'exposition
RF.
5 Notice: The unit complies with Overvoltage Category II. It also complies with the surge requirement
according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, installation of an additional medium (via local
supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection) is recommended depending on
the individual application in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent.
