5 Regulatory Information
5.1 FCC and IC Compliance
5.1.1 FCC Statement
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.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.
5.1.2 Caution
No modification to the radio or antenna is permitted, and any modification could cause the device to cease to
comply with FCC rules part 15, and thus void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

5.1.3 IC Compliance
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 has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 9dBi.
Having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms. The antenna incorporated within the device has a maximum gain of 2dBi and may
not be removed, replaced or modified without the explicit permission of Vibration Technology Ltd.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the device is located or pointed such that the antenna
does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6,
obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
5.1.4 RF exposure statement
This modular transmitter MUST have a separation distance of at least 2.5 cm between the antenna and the
body of the user or nearby persons, excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles.
6 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
6.1 General
Read this information before using your Unit.
For any exceptions, due to national requirements or limitations, when using your Unit, please contact
Vibration Technology Ltd.
Note: Changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved in writing by
Vibration Technology Ltd will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
6.2 Product Care
• Do not open or disassemble your Unit. Doing so will void any warranty. The Unit does not contain
any user serviceable or replaceable components. Service may only be performed by Vibration
Technology Ltd or an authorised service agent.
• Do not expose your Unit housing to solvents or any substance containing solvents such as paints or
lacquers.
• Do not expose your Unit to hot or cold temperatures outside of those specified in the data sheet.
• Do not expose your Unit lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, naked flames etc.
• Do not drop or throw your unit as it could sustain damage
• If your Unit is to be stored, store it in a place that is dry and protected from extreme heat or cold.
Ensure that the battery is charge to approximately 30% and avoid storing with a discharged battery.
6.3 Radio Frequency Exposure
The Unit contains a small radio transmitter and receiver. During communication with Unite Infrastructure or
Data Harvesters, the Unit receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in
the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. Although the output power of the radio transmitter is very low, the
user should remain more than 20cm away from the antenna dome on top of the Unit whilst it is operating.
If you are in proximity to a Unit whilst it is powered on, you will be exposed to some of the transmitted RF
energy. This exposure is well below the prescribed limits in all national and international RF safety standards
and regulations.
