  • Page 4: Class B Digital Device

    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 accor- dance 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 televi- sion 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: r Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. r Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. r Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. r Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

    Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations. For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.com Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola Solutions, may void the user’s authority to operate this device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the an- tenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna 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 indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. EVX-261 O pErating anual...

    Toute modification effectuée à cet appareil sans l’autorisation explicite de Motorola Solutions peut annuler l’autorisation d’utiliser cet appareil. Selon la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu’avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l’antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu’il ne le faut pour établir la communication. Cet émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour utilisation avec une antenne approuvée par Motorola Solutions offrant le gain maximal autorisé et l’impédance requise pour le type d’antenne indiqué. Il est strictement interdit d’utiliser avec cet appareil tout type d’antenne ne figurant pas dans cette liste et présentant un gain supérieur au maximum indiqué pour le type.
