WARNING
HAZARD TO HEALTH DUE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE
• The radio equipment described in this user manual
emits low level radio frequency energy. The
concentrated energy may pose a health hazard
depending on the type of antenna used.
• To satisfy EU, FCC and Industry Canada requirements
a minimum separation distance should be maintained
between the antenna of this device and persons during
operation as per the table below.

Part A - Preface
Site Grounding
Ensure that the chassis mounting plate, power supply
(-) Ground, RTU terminal device, and lightning arrester,
are all securely connected to the ground in the building
installation or a common ground point to which an earth/
ground stake is attached.
R&TTE Directive (Europe)
Applies to models TBURQx4xx-Exxxxxxx
In order to comply with the R&TTE (Radio &
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment) directive
1999/5/EC, all radio modem installations must include
an external in-line lightning arrestor or equivalent device
that complies with the following specifications:
• DC Blocking Capability - 1.5kV impulse (Rise Time
10mS, Fall Time 700mS) (Repetition 10 Times)
or 1.0kV rms 50Hz sine wave for 1 minute.
Trio Datacom declares that the Q data radio range
is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of the Directive 1999/5/
EC. Therefore the Trio Datacom Q data radio range is
labelled with the following CE-marking.
FCC Compliance (Hot Standby Controller Only)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction, equipment may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient to relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different to that which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for assistance.

Collocating the QR450 remote (Europe)
The QR450 is a remote radio and should not be
collocated with other transmitting equipment.
FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorised modifications to
this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
When antennas are co-located on a community (shared)
site the correct site engineering must be performed to
ensure RF exposure limits are met.
FCC requirements can be found in 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(3)
