Appendix B: GPR Emissions, Interference and

Regulations

All governments have regulations on the level of electromagnetic emissions that an electronic

apparatus can emit. The objective is to assure that one apparatus or device does not interfere

with any other apparatus or device in such a way as to make the other apparatus non-

functional.

The manufacturer tests their GPR products using independent professional testing houses and

comply with latest regulations of the USA, Canada, European Community, and other major

jurisdictions on the matter of emissions.

Electronic devices have not always been designed for proper immunity. If a GPR instrument is

placed in close proximity to an electronic device, interference may occur. While there have

been no substantiated reports of interference to date, if any unusual behavior is observed on

nearby devices, test if the disturbance starts and stops when the GPR instrument is turned on

and off. If interference is confirmed, stop using the GPR.

Where specific jurisdictions have specific GPR guidelines, these are described below.

B-1 FCC Regulations

This device complies with Part 15 of the USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Rules. Operation in the USA is subject to the following two conditions:

•

this device may not cause harmful interference and

•

this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Part 15 – User Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

where applicable, and for an ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) device where applicable, 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. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own

expense.
