This document describes interfaces and usage of the LNG Main Board. The LNG Main Board is a
modular processor and communications board intended to be used in LNG Parking Meters and
Roadside repeater/gateways. The board is used only within authorized end products and not to be
used outside of these end products.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, CivicSmart expressly warrants products against defects in materials
and workmanship for twelve (12) months from the date of installation or fourteen (14) months from
date of delivery (whichever is sooner). No maintenance on the products is allowed for end users and
all parts under this limited warranty for repair will be managed through the relevant CivicSmart

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Duncan Parking Technologies, Inc. could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment and are not permitted.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
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.
