Due to the nature of wireless communication the reception or transmission of data can never be

guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted or never received. Data transfer problems are rare with

well-constructed and configured wireless networks used in conjunction with devices such as the CTM-15X

wireless data device. Cypress Solutions Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind including

but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property due to the delay or loss of data resulting from

the use of the CTM-15X wireless data device.

1.1 Safety & hazards

Wireless transmitters can cause interference with some critical operation equipment. For this reason it is

required that the RF portion of the CTM-15X Series wireless data device be turned off when in the vicinity

of blasting operations, medical equipment, life support equipment, or any other equipment that is

susceptible to radio interference. The CTM-15X series wireless data device must be turned off when on-

board or in the vicinity of any aircraft. The FAA prohibits the use of wireless transmitter equipment at any

time during aircraft flight.

1.2 Regulatory restrictions

CAUTION: Any modifications to the CTM-15X series wireless data device not expressly authorized by

Cypress Solutions Inc. may cause its regulatory approval status to become invalidated, thereby voiding

your authority to use the product.

The CTM-15X series wireless data device contains a wireless device approved under FCC CFR 47 part

2.1091 and Industry Canada RSS-102 rules for operation as a mobile or fixed device with its specified

antenna of gain ≤6dBi and from which a separation distance of at least 20cm (8”) must be maintained

from all persons at all times and during all modes of operation. The antenna used must not be co-located

or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. These rules are in place to prevent any

possible hazard due to personal exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

The CTM-15X series devices are designed to operate with approved wireless cards installed. These cards

will have their own FCC and Industry Canada approval ID numbers. Contact Cypress Solutions for a

complete updated list of supported Wireless cards/modules.
