Interference Statement
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.
help.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
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.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your
body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
This device may only be operated indoors. Operation outdoors is in
violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious
legal penalties.
NOTE:
Operation under the provisions of this section is limited to UWB
transmitters employed solely for indoor operation.
(1) Indoor UWB devices, by the nature of their design, must be capable of
operation only indoors. The necessity to operate with a fixed indoor
infrastructure, e.g., a transmitter that must be connected to the AC power
lines, may be considered sufficient to demonstrate this.
(2) The emissions from equipment operated under this section shall not be
intentionally directed outside of the building in which the equipment is
located, such as through a window or a doorway, to perform an outside
function, such as the detection of persons about to enter a building.
(3) The use of outdoor mounted antennas, e.g., antennas mounted on the
outside of a building or on a telephone pole, or any other outdoors
infrastructure is prohibited.
Per FCC regulations, an intentional radiator may only transmit when
communicating with an associated receiver. This continuous transmit mode
is for evaluation purposes only.
FCC 47 CFR Section 15.517 (a)(5)
A communications system shall transmit only when the intentional
radiator is sending information to an associated receiver.
In end-user applications, this is handled through handshaking,
acknowledgements, negotiation of the communication channel, and other
mechanisms that ensure the transmitter is active when communicating with
a receiver.
