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.
Instructions concerning human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields:
To comply with FCC Section 1.307 (b) (1) for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields, implement the following instruction:
A distance of at least 20cm. between the equipment and all persons should be maintained
during the operation of the equipment. The minimum distance will be determined after testing
has been completed.

Appendix A: Marketing and installation
1. The product intended use and application:
The BS91103000 (PBS) is used as a radio base station for the iLocate system.
By transmitting a synchronization signal, and receiving transmissions from other
devices on the iLocate network it acts as a bridge between the iLocate hardware and
a personal computer.
2. The EUT is installed either indoors or outdoors (inside an appropriate sealed box).
The installation requirements are proper site planning, infrastructure (AC supply with
an AC to DC adapter or DC supply, mechanical mounting, clearance around it),
sealed box (Per Precyse Tech’s requirements, an IP55 or equivalent box
uninterrupted power supply where required, etc).
3. Marketing:
The EUT is sold to system integrators only. It is not available for the general public.
The product requires non-trivial installation and tuning procedures.
