Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement (FCC ID: TV7RB953GS-5HNT)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
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. This device and its
antenna must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation: 160 cm minimum distance has to be
maintained between the antenna and the occupational user and 355 cm to general public. Under
such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled
environment can be satisfied.
List of additional approved antennas:
Omni Directional, MT-482016NA, 8.5 dBi
Panel Antenna, PA58-24-ANT, 24 dBi
Dish Antenna, HDDA5W-32-DP2, 32dBi
Antenna Installation. WARNING: It is installer's responsibility to ensure that when using the
authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certified
with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is
expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the
output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type.
Professional installation is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with
health and safety issues.
