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 antenna 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.b. This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below 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.Antenna type Antenna gain Antenna impedanceAutec stylus λ/4 <0dBi 50 Ohmc. Autec allows you to use only the dedicated antenna supplied either with the remote control or as original spare part. The use of any other type of antenna is prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.d. Place the antenna of the Receiving Unit in a position that ensures a minimum separation distance of 20cm with all the people that can be in the working area.Read carefully the section of the Manual where the antenna position is described, both in the general part and in the specic part referring to the Receiving Unit.
