The following regulatory approvals apply for the Mobile Base Station 2 Low Profile (MBS2-LP):
• FCC
• IC
• PTCRB
FCC Part 15 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
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Modifications not expressly approved by Wireless Matrix USA, Inc. could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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 instructions, 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The MBS2-LP satellite radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy when transmitting. The MBS2-LP must
be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance of 20 cm or more between the
antenna and persons to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices.
Operators should maintain a safe distance from radio when transmitting. Wireless Matrix recommends
installing the MBS2-LP device with a safe distance of 63 cm or more. The safe distance of 63 cm is
measured from the center of the antenna beam with respect to the FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97 01
“Evaluating Compliance With FCC Guidelines for human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields”. The 63 cm distance should be maintained under the following conditions:
• The antenna is powered on and transmitting. The MBS2-LP transmits only when the computer in
the vehicle sends messages to the host computer.
• A person is blocking line-of-sight to the satellite during transmission. A person on or above the
vehicle roof and within 63 cm of the unit could interfere with the MBS2-LP transmission path.
