Monnit Corporation | www.monnit.com | (801) 561-55553400 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, 841154Agency CertificationsUnited States FCC Module ApprovalThe G2XL Module complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. These limits are designed toprovide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipmentgenerates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with theinstruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guaranteethat interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference toradio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more 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.Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Monnit could void the user’s authority to operatethe 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 undesiredoperation.Canada ICEnglishUnder Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (orlesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, theantenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotopically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more thanthat necessary for successful communication.The radio transmitter (IC: 9794A-G2XL1) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listedwith the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types notincluded in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use withthis device.This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following twoconditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Dans le but de réduire les risquesde brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que lapuissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communi-cation satisfaisante.Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 9794A-G2XL1) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les typesd’antenne énumérés et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les typesd’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interditspour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie 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, méme si le brouillage est susceptible d’en com-promettre le fonctionnement.FCC/IC Approved AntennasThe G2XL Module can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with standard connectors (Type-N,SMA, TNC, and so forth.) if the installation is performed professionally and according to FCC guidelines. Forinstallations not performed by a professional, non-standard connectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, and so forth.) mustbe used. The modules are FCC/IC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications. If the antenna ismounted at least 21.7cm (9 in) in the USA, or 32.1cm (12.6 in) in Canada from nearby persons, the applicationis considered a mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to comply with FCC Section15.203 (Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 (Emissions).G2XL modules have been tested and approved for use with all the antennas listed in the tables below.

To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antennaused for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals in order to alert users of FCCRF Exposure compliance.RF Exposure for ICWARNING: To satisfy IC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distanceof 32.1 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during deviceoperation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antennaused for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.AVERTISSEMENT: Pour satisfaire IC RF exigences d’exposition pour les appareils mobiles de transmis-sion, une distance de séparation de 32,1 cm ou plus doit être maintenue entre l’antenne de cet appareil etdes personnes pendant le fonctionnement de l’appareil. Pour assurer la conformité, les opérations au plusprès que cette distance ne sont pas recommandés. L’antenne utilisée pour cet émetteur ne doit pas êtresitué en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur..The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals in order to alert users of ICRF Exposure compliance.OEM NoticesIMPORTANT: The G2XL Module has been certified by the FCC for use with other products without anyfurther certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Modifications not expressly approved by MonnitCorporation could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.IMPORTANT: OEM Integrators must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC section15.107 & 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Othercompliance testing may also apply (for example, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).IMPORTANT: The G2XL module has been certified for remote and base radio applications. If the module willbe used for portable applications, the device must undergo SAR testing.IMPORTANT: In the event that the minimum distance requirement or if the module is co-located with othertransmitters, then current FCC and IC authorization is no longer valid and the FCC ID or IC number cannotbe used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and IC authorization.
