4 Regulations and Safety
38 SiteNet 450 Operation Manual
4.1 Introduction
Regulations regarding the use of the radio-modems 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. Consult your local communications governing agency for
licensing information.
Before operating a SiteNet 450 radio-modem, determine if
authorization or a license to operate the unit is required in your
country. It is the responsibility of the end user to obtain an operator’s
permit or license for the SiteNet 450 radio-modem for the location or
country of use.
Note – This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference.
4.2 Type Approval
C
Warning – Changes or modifications to this equipment not approved in
writing by Trimble Navigation Limited voids your authority to operate the
equipment.
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 in
particular radio-modem frequency bands. To comply with those
requirements, Trimble may have modified your equipment to be
granted Type approval. Unauthorized modification of the units voids
the Type approval, the warranty, and the operational license of the
equipment.
