Canada, ISED compliance
Compliance Statement Canada Déclaration de Conformité
This device complies with Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada (ISED) license-
exempt RSS standard(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.
Under Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED) 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.
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, (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radio électrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
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.

RF Exposure (FCC/ISED)
This equipment complies with radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator and
your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition
aux radiations dans un environnement non contrôlé.
Cet équipement do it être installé et utilisé à distance
minimum de 20 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps.
Cet émetteur ne doit pas être co-localisées ou opérant
en conjonction avec tout autre antenne ou
transmetteur.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Caution: Use only approved accessories with this equipment. All cables must be high
quality, shielded, and correctly terminated. Unapproved modifications or operation
beyond or in conflict with these use instructions may void authorization by the
authorities to operate the equipment.
Antenna Specifications
Specifications for the 915 MHz, GPS, and WAN antennas are listed in the following tables.
Important! All coaxial cable connections must be properly weather proofed per
industry standards unless otherwise specified. This includes any connections for the
antennas and the collector or repeater components. If the collector or repeater is
installed indoors, only the connections located outside need to be weather proofed.
