REGULATORY NOTICES
FCC Part 15 Notice, USA
The devices described herein comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. The device may not cause harmful interference.
2. The device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The device is specifically designed to be used under Section 15.247 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Any
unauthorized modification or changes to this device without the express approval of Tantalus Systems Corp. may
void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Furthermore, this device is intended to be used only when installed in accordance with the instructions outlined in
the installation manual. Failure to comply with these instructions may also void the user’s authority to operate this
device.
IC License Exempt RSS-GEN Notice, Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum
(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other
users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
not more than that necessary for successful communication.
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, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Cet apparreil numérique de la Classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Reglement sur le matérial brouilleur du
Canada. Pour cet appareil, l'utilisateur doit être AU MOINS 20 cm de l’antenne pour s'assurer que l'exposition à
l'énergie radioélectrique ne dépasse jamais les limites maximales d'exposition fixées par le Gouvernement du
Canada.
RF Exposure
Professional installation of this device is required. The radio equipment described in this guide emits radio
frequency energy. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may pose a
health hazard. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least
20cm from all persons during normal operation.
More information on RF exposure is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins.
Antenna Requirements
The DA-1710 has been approved by the FCC and Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below
with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types
not included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par le FCC et Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne
énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les
types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
