Notice regarding Compliance with FCC, EU, and Industry Canada
Requirements for RF Exposure
The antenna intended for use with this unit meets the requirements for mobile operating configurations and for
fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This device
also meets the European RF exposure requirements of EN 62311. If an alternate antenna is used, consult user
documentation for required antenna specifications.
Compliance of the device with the FCC, EU and IC rules regarding RF Exposure was established and is given with
the maximum antenna gain as specified above for a minimum distance of 20 cm between the devices radiating
structures (the antenna) and the body of users. Qualification for distances closer than 20 cm (portable operation)
would require re-certification.
Wireless devices could generate radiation. Other nearby electronic devices, like microwave ovens, may also
generate additional radiation to the user causing a higher level of RF exposure.

Radio Frequency (RF) Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
