Disclaimers
RF EXPOSURE
To comply with FCC requirements, maintain a separation distance of at least 40.0 centimetres between the antenna and all persons.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Use only approved accessories with this equipment. In general all cables must be high quality, shielded, correctly terminated, and normally restricted to 2 meters in length. The Mobile
Collector Lite employs special provisions to avoid radio interference and should not be altered or substituted.
Unapproved modifications or operation beyond or in conflict with these instructions for use, may void authorization by the authorities to operate the equipment.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 5 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 5 dB are
strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50-ohms.
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
permitted for successful communication.
WARNING! Do not visually monitor or physically adjust the Mobile Collection
system while driving. While driving, rely on the beeps produced when meter
data is collected to indicate proper system operation. Visually monitoring or
adjusting the Mobile Collection system while driving will divert your attention
from your safe driving responsibilities. Attention to driving is your primary
responsibility, along with following all the applicable driving regulations.
