⚠ Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Notices
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian CAN ICES-3(B) / NMB-3(B).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
o this device may not cause interference
o this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information
The radiated output power of the u-blox Cellular Module is below the Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada (ISED) radio frequency exposure limits. The u-blox Cellular Module
should be used in a manner such that the potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized.
This device has been evaluated and shown compliant with the IC RF Exposure limits under mobile
exposure conditions (antennas are greater than 20 cm from a person's body).
This device has been certified for use in Canada. Status of the listing in the Industry Canada’s REL
(Radio Equipment List) can be found at the following web address:
http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/sitt/reltel/srch/nwRdSrch.do?lang=eng
Additional Canadian information on RF exposure also can be found at the following web address:

⚠ IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating the SARA-R5 series modules
are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own Industry Canada
Certificate related to the specific portable device. This is mandatory to meet the SAR
requirements for portable devices.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
⚠ Avis d'Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada (ISDE)
Cet appareil numérique de classe B est conforme aux normes canadiennes CAN ICES-3(B) /
NMB-3(B). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
o cet appareil ne doit pas causer d'interférence
o cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, notamment les interférences qui peuvent
affecter son fonctionnement
Informations concernant l'exposition aux fréquences radio (RF)
La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans-fil u-blox Cellular Module est inférieure à la
limite d'exposition aux fréquences radio d'Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique
Canada (ISDE). Utilisez l’appareil de sans-fil u-blox Cellular Module de façon à minimiser les
contacts humains lors du fonctionnement normal.
Ce périphérique a été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites d'exposition aux fréquences radio
(RF) d'IC lorsqu'il est installé dans des produits hôtes particuliers qui fonctionnent dans des
conditions d'exposition à des appareils mobiles (les antennes se situent à plus de 20 centimètres
du corps d'une personne).
Ce périphérique est homologué pour l'utilisation au Canada. Pour consulter l'entrée correspondant
à l’appareil dans la liste d'équipement radio (REL - Radio Equipment List) d'Industrie Canada
