Regulatory Compliance General Note This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference. For information on the restrictions on putting the device into service please contact your national telecommunication authorities.
2. L'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. RF Exposure For the safety of the general public it is recommended to keep a minimum safe distance from radiating antennas according to Table A‐1. Pour la sécurité du grand public, il est recommandé de respecter une distance de sécurité minimale par rapport aux antennes rayonnantes, conformément au tableau Table A‐1. Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules.
The system must be professionally installed to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified systems are deployed in the United States. The use of the system in any other combination (such as co‐located antennas transmitting the same information) is expressly forbidden. The radio must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in this guide.
Il est de la responsabilité de l'opérateur et de l'installateur professionnel que lors de la configuration de la radio au Canada (ou lorsque les règles canadiennes appliquer), la puissance Tx est définie en fonction des valeurs pour lesquelles le produit est agréé.
The radio devices in this manual have been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed in the Certified Antennas appendix with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicate for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Safety Practices Applicable requirements of National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70; and the National Electrical Safety Code, ANSI/IEEE C2, must be considered during installation. NOTES: 1. A Primary Protector is not required to protect the exposed wiring as long as the exposed wiring length is limited to less than or equal to 140 feet, and instructions are provided to avoid exposure of wiring to accidental contact with lightning and power conductors in accordance with NEC Sections 725‐54 (c) and 800‐30.
