DVE NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
DVE RADIO OPERATOR Futurecom requires the MOBEXCOM DVE operator to ensure FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure are met. The DVE output power has to be set such that the maximum power into 0dBd (2.15dBi) omni directional antenna does not exceed 3.0W at the antenna connector. The minimum distance between all possible personnel and the antenna at 3.0W must be at least as shown in Table 1.
DVE Before installing an antenna on the trunk lid: Ensure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least the distance specified in Table 1 from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety standards. Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio.
