Safety Information
Before the user uses the user’s CHC® P5 GNSS reference receiver, make sure that the
user has read and understood all safety requirements.
Regulations and Safety
The receiver contains an internal wireless modem for communicating signals through
Bluetooth® wireless technology or through an external data communications radio.
Regulations regarding the use of the wireless modem vary greatly from country to
country. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user
license. Other countries require end-user licensing. For licensing information, consult
the user’s local CHC dealer.
Before operating a P5 GNSS reference receiver, determine if authorization or a
license to operate the unit is required in the user’s country. It is the responsibility of
the end-user to obtain an operator's permit or license for the receiver for the
location or country of use.
Type Approval
Type approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment related
to emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to the
manufacturer of the transmission equipment, independent from the operation or
licensing of the units. Some countries have unique technical requirements for
operation radio modem frequency bands. To comply with those requirements, CHC
may have modified the user’s equipment to be granted Type approval. Unauthorized
modification of the units voids the Type approval, the warranty, and the operational
license of the equipment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
Safety. Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC has
adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC-regulated equipment. Proper use of this radio modem results
in an exposure below government limits. The following precautions are
recommended:
