Une étiquette contenant le numéro de certification SA 1100 DC ID et Industry Canada doit être collée
de manière permanente sur l’extérieur de l’appareil hôte dans lequel l’émetteur SA 1100 est installé.
L’étiquette doit également se trouver dans un endroit accessible aux utilisateurs comme sous un
panneau ou un bloc-batterie s’il s’agit d’un appareil portable, accessible facilement, pas placée sur une
partie amovible et le numéro de certification FCC ID et Industry Canada doit être visible au moment de
l’achat. L’étiquette doit contenir un énoncé similaire à celui-ci :
o
Pour l’utilisation des modèles SA1100-00-AT, SA1100-20-AT, SA1100-30-AT :
• Cet appareil contient FCC ID : PKRNVWSA1100
• Cet appareil contient IC : 32291-SA1100
o
Pour l’utilisation des modèles SA 1100-00-VZ, SA1100-20-VZ, SA1100-30-VZ :
• Cet appareil contient FCC ID : PKRNVWSA1100V
• Cet appareil contient IC : 3229A-SA1100V
Si l’émetteur SA 1100 certifié est destiné à l’utilisation dans un appareil portable, l’intégrateur OEM est
responsable de la conception du produit en accord avec les exigences d’exposition RF, et doit travailler
avec Novatel Wireless (le bénéficiaire) pour satisfaire les exigences FCC/IC SAR. Se référer à Industry
Canada RSS-102 et FCC KDB publication 447498 D01 et aux publications KDB d’exposition SAR/RF
disponibles sur : https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/reports/GuidedPublicationList.cfm
Les manuels d’utilisateur et autres documents doivent indiquer clairement la marche à suivre qui doit
être observée pour s’assurer de la conformité avec les instructions d’exposition FCC/IC RF et aussi
inclure les avertissements appropriés et les mises en garde et l’information.
L’appareil hôte contenant l’émetteur certifié SA 1100 peut aussi nécessiter la conformité au FCC partie
15 sous-partie B – partie sur la règle des Radiations Involontaires ainsi que l’Industry Canada ICES-003.

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)
Selon les régulations Industry Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut opérer qu’en utilisant une antenne
d’un type and d’un gain maximum (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industry Canada. Pour
réduire l’interférence radio potentielle pour les autres utilisateurs, le type d’antenne et son gain
doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée (e.i.r.p.) ne soit pas supérieure à
ce qui est nécessaire pour une communication réussie.
REMARQUES FCC POUR LES UTILISATEURS
Novatel Wireless n’a approuvé aucun changement ou modification à cet appareil par l’utilisateur. Tout

Cet équipement a été testé et approuvé comme étant en accordance avec les limites pour un appareil
digital de classe B, selon la partie 15 des règles FCC. Ces limites sont conçues pour fournir une
protection raisonnable contre les interférences dangereuses dans une installation résidentielle. Cet
équipement génère, utilise, et peut faire rayonner de l’énergie de fréquences radio et, s’il n’est pas
installé et utilisé en suivant ces instructions, peut causer des interférences dangereuses pour les
communications radio. Cependant, il n’y a pas de garantie que cette interférence ne se produira pas
dans une installation particulière. Si cet équipement cause en effet des interférences dangereuses avec
la radio ou la réception de la télévision, ce qui peut être déterminé en éteignant l’équipement et en le
rallumant, nous encourageons l’utilisateur à essayer de corriger l’interférence d’une ou de plusieurs
des manières suivantes :
l
Réorienter ou relocaliser l’antenne de réception
l
Augmenter la séparation entre l’équipement et le récepteur
l
Connecter l’équipement sur une prise sur un circuit différent de celui sur lequel le récepteur est
connecté
l
Consulter le vendeur ou un technicien radio/TV expérimenter afin d’obtenir de l’aide
Si le FCC ID de l’appareil SA 1100 n’est pas visible lors de son installation dans la plateforme hôte, alors
une étiquette attachée ou marquée de manière permanente doit être mise en évidence sur l’unité hôte
rattachée à l’appareil SA 1100.
L’étiquette doit contenir une formulation de ce type :
Contient FCC ID : Mxxxxxxxxx
Cet appareil est en accord avec la partie 15 des règles FCC. L’opération est sujette aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) Cet appareil ne doit pas causer d’interférences dangereuses, et (2) Cet appareil doit
accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris les interférences qui pourraient causer des opérations
non désirées.
