ApexPro FH Transceiver: Compliance
FCC Compliance in the 608-614 MHz bands
1. The marketing and operation of intentional radiators, under the
provisions of the FCC rules, is restricted to biomedical telemetry
devices that are employed on health care facilities premises.
a. A health care facility includes hospitals and other
establishments that offer services, facilities, and beds for use
beyond 24 hours in rendering medical treatment, as well as
institutions and organizations that are regularly engaged in
providing medical services through clinics, public health
facilities, and similar establishments, including governmental
entities and agencies for their own medical activities.
b. This authority to operate does not extend to mobile vehicles, such
as ambulances, even if those vehicles are associated with a
health care facility.
2. The user and the installer of a biomedical telemetry device that is
operating within the frequency range 608-614 MHz, and that will be
located within 32 km of the very long baseline array (VLBA) stations
or within 80 km of any of the other radio astronomy observatories
noted in footnote US311 of 2.106 of this chapter, must coordinate
with, and obtain the written concurrence of, the director of the
affected radio astronomy observatory before the equipment can be
installed or operated. The National Science Foundation point of
contact for coordination is: Spectrum Manager, Division of
Astronomical Sciences, NSF Rm 1045, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington,
VA 22230; tel: [phone].
3. Biomedical telemetry devices must not cause harmful interference to
licensed radio astronomy operation in the 608-614 MHz band. If
harmful interference occurs, then the interference must either be
corrected or the device must immediately cease operation on the
occupied frequency. Further, the operator of the biomedical
telemetry device must accept whatever level of interference is
received from other radio operations. The operator, i.e., the health
care facility, is responsible for resolving any interference that occurs
subsequent to the installation of these devices.
