Overview
On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has 
been published in the Ocial Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non 
voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected 
to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). 
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for 
connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal 
equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony 
justied case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of 
dual tone multi-frequency signalling.
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notied Body and the vendor: 
“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed 
to work and any notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-
working diculties.”
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will 
indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any 
notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diculties. 
The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network 
compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also 
advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on 
another network.”
Up to now the Notied Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals 
using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s rst modems which do not require 
regulatory approvals in each individual European country.
Non-Voice Equipment 
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as 
modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the 
end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones 
and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. 
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for 
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications 
Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless device 
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. 
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the 
FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested 
frequency bands.

Compliance Statement of Innovation, Science 
and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development 
Canada licence exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following 
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device 
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation of the device.
Operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the 
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

Déclaration de conformité de Innovation, 
Sciences et Développement économique Canada 
(ISED)
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement 
économique Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. 
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas 
produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage 
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le 
fonctionnement.
La bande 5150–5250 MHz est réservée uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur 
an de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites 
mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux.

Radiation Exposure Statement
The product comply with the Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an 
uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this 
manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be 
kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power 
if such function is available.
This device has been tested for compliance with IC SAR values at a typical 
operating near the body. To ensure that RF exposure levels below the levels tested, 
use accessories with this equipment to maintain a minimum separation distance 
of 0 cm between the body of the user and the device. These accessories should 
not contain metallic components. It is possible that the accessories used close to 
the body that do not meet these requirements are not consistent with the SAR 
limits and it is advisable to avoid using them.
Déclaration d’exposition aux radiations
Le produit est conforme aux limites d’exposition pour les appareils portables RF 
pour les Etats-Unis et le Canada établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.
Le produit est sûr pour un fonctionnement tel que décrit dans ce manuel. La 
réduction aux expositions RF peut être augmentée si l’appareil peut être conservé 
aussi loin que possible du corps de l’utilisateur ou que le dispositif est réglé sur la 
puissance de sortie la plus faible si une telle fonction est disponible.
Ce dispositif a été testé pour la conformité avec les valeurs SAR à un 
fonctionnement typique près du corps . Pour assurer que les niveaux d’exposition 
aux radiofréquences en deçà des niveaux testés , utiliser des accessoires avec cet 
équipement pour maintenir une distance de séparation minimale de 0 cm entre 
le corps de l’utilisateur et l’appareil. Ces accessoires ne doivent pas contenir des 
composants métalliques . Il est possible que les accessoires utilisés près du corps 
qui ne répondent pas à ces exigences ne sont pas compatibles avec les limites SAR 
et il est conseillé d’éviter de les utiliser.

Caution
(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use 
to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite 
systems;
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz 
and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and
(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz 
shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specied for point-to-point and non point-to-
point operation as appropriate.
(iv) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary 
users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that 
these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
Avertissement
Le guide d’utilisation des dispositifs pour réseaux locaux doit inclure des 
instructions précises sur les restrictions susmentionnées, notamment:
(i) Les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés 
uniquement à une utilisation en intérieur an de réduire les risques d’interférence 
préjudiciables aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;
(ii) Le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 
5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz doit être conforme à la limite de P.I.R.E; et
(iii) Le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-
5825 MHz) doit être conforme à la limite de P.I.R.E spéciée pour l’exploitation 
point à point et non point à point, selon le cas.
(iv) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de 
radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont 
la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars 
pourraient créer des interférences et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
