The RDL-3000-RMF contains a proprietary radio interface and can not be directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices.  This manual is provided as supplement to technical and operational documentation and training provided by Redline and its agents. Any operation or use of the RDL-3000-RMF in  any  manner  not  expressly  specified  within  this  manual  or  approved  in  writing  by Redline (or its agents) is expressly forbidden and voids the user's right to operate the module. This includes, but is not limited to, any modification of the module hardware or software,  installation  of  the  module  in  a  non  approved  enclosure,  and  use  with  non approved antennas. 2.2  Country of Use Refer  to  the  regulatory  notices  in  this  document  before  installing  or  operating  the module.  Operation of the final product requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively from Redline or its authorized agents. The software key is unique to each module and must be  installed  and  activated  before  the  radio  will  operate.    The  key  contains  sufficient security  features  that  the  professional  installer  and  operator  can  not  decode,  modify, substitute, or otherwise circumvent the operational restrictions imposed by the 'key'.  The  software  'key'  limits  the  transmit  power,  operating  frequency  range,  and  channel bandwidth  per  the  regulator  domain  governing  the  location  where  the  radio  will  be deployed.  The  operator  does  not  have  the  option  to  select  the  country  or  regulatory region of operation. The software 'key' limits the mode of operation as a master or client. The client mode is 'passive listener'  and  while in  this mode  the  module  can not  initiate any transmission without first receiving and decoding a valid authorization message from the master. A module  with  a  key  for  client  operation  can  not  be  changed  by  the  installer  to  enable master mode operation. A module with a key for master operation can operate in master or client (passive) mode.  Operation in the United States The RDL-3000-RMF is certified with limited modular approval for use as an 'intentional radiator' in the United States as device FCC ID: QC8-RDL3000RMF.
