The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate. Le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-5850 MHz) doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l’exploitation point à point et non point à point, selon le cas.
The worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask requirement set forth in Section 6.2.2(3) shall be clearly indicated. Les pires angles d’inclinaison nécessaires pour rester conforme à l’exigence de la p.i.r.e. applicable au masque d’élévation, et énoncée à la section 6.2.2 3), doivent être clairement indiqués.
Caution: The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellitesystems. Attention: Le dispositif de la bande 5150-5250 MHz est réservé à un usage intérieur afin de réduire l’interférence nuisible potentielle aux systèmes mobiles par satellite co-canal.
Caution: The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate. Attention: Le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5 250-5 350 MHz et 5 470-5 725 MHz doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e.; le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5 725-5 825 MHz doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l’exploitation point à point et non point à point, selon le cas.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 3.38 dBi for 2.4GHz, 6.22 dBi for 5GHz and 5.89 dBi for 6GHz. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of ISED. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Under ISED regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotopically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de 3.38 dBi for 2.4GHz, 6.22 dBi for 5GHz and 5.89 dBi for 6GHz pour 5GHz. Une antenneayant un gain supérieur sont strictement interdites par la réglementation d’ISED. L’impédance d’antenne requise est de 50 ohms. Conformément à la réglementation d’ISED, cet émetteur radio peut fonctionner seulement avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par ISED. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique aux autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication réussie.
This radio transmitter (IC: 7280B-512178E8741) has been approved by ISED 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, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 7280B-512178E8741) a été approuvé par ISED 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, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
This device and it’s antennas(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with IC multi-transmitter product procedures. Cet appareil et son antenne (s) ne doit pas être co-localisés ou fonctionnement en association avec une autre antenne ou transmetteur.
Devices shall not be used for control of or communications with unmanned aircraft systems. Operation shall be limited to indoor use only. Operation on oil platforms, automobiles, trains, maritime vessels and aircraft shall be prohibited except for on large aircraft flying above 3,048 m (10,000 ft).
Les dispositifs ne doivent pas être utilisés pour commander des systèmes d’aéronef sans pilote ni pour communiquer avec de tels systèmes. Leur utilisation doit être limitée à l’intérieur seulement. Leur utilisation à bord de plateformes de forage pétrolier, d’automobiles, de trains, de navires maritimes et d’aéronefs doit être interdite, sauf à bord d’un gros aéronef volant à plus de 3 048 m (10 000 pi) d’altitude.
