Personnel Alert: Base Station
User Manual
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 and ICES-003 Canadian EMI requirements.
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
from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
The term “IC” before the radio certification number only
signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were
met.
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.
Changes and/or modifications to the Personnel Alert Base
not expressly approved by BW Technologies may void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the
antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF
field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general
population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health
Canada’s website
www.hc-.gc.ca/rpb.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) is not more than
that required for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna
having a maximum gain of 2.1 dBi. Antenna having a higher
gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada.
The required antenna impedance is 50 Z.
