FCC § 15.19 Labelling requirements
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
FCC § 15.21 Information to user
“Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”
FCC §15.105 statement
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. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC §15.256 statement
This device is approved for unrestricted use only inside closed, stationary
vessels made of metal, reinforced fiberglass or concrete. For operation
outside of closed vessels, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
– The equipment shall be professionally installed and maintained to ensure a
vertically downward orientation of the transmit antenna and the installation
shall be only at fixed locations; installation is not required at the time of
certification.
Hand-held and residential consumer applications are not permitted
The LPR device shall not operate while being moved or while inside a moving
container
– Hand-held applications are prohibited
– Marketing to residential consumers is prohibited
RF Exposure Requirements
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device must be
installed to provide a separation distance of at least 28 cm from all persons.

IC: 3892A-PS6XW
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
Canada Class B statement
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003
RF Exposure Requirements
This equipment complies with Canada’s radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body.
Operating conditions
This device has been approved for both closed containers (TLPR) and open-air
(LPR) with the following limitations:
– Closed Containers (TLPR):
For installations utilizing a tilt during installation: This device is limited
to installation in a completely enclosed container made of metal, reinforced
fiberglass or concrete to prevent RF emissions, which can otherwise interfere
with aeronautical navigation
– Open-Air Environment (LPR):
For operation outside of closed vessels, the following condition must be
fulfilled: This device shall be installed and maintained to ensure a
vertically downward orientation of the transmit antenna’s main beam.
Furthermore, the use of any mechanism that does not allow the main beam of the
transmitter to be mounted vertically downward is prohibited The installation
of the LPR/TLPR device shall be done by trained installers, in strict
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
The use of this device is on a “no-interference, no protection” basis. That
is, the user shall accept operations of the high-powered radar in the same
frequency band which may interfere with or damages this device. However,
devices found to interfere with primary licensing operations will be required
to be removed at the user’s expense.
The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from
the Dominion Astrophysical Radio Observatory (DRAO) near Penticton, British
Columbia. The coordinates of the DRAO are latitude 49°19′15″ N and longitude
119°37′12″ W. For devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g., those in
the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia,) the installer/user must coordinate
with, and obtain the written concurrence of, the Director of the DRAO before
the equipment can be installed or operated. The Director of the DRAO may be
contacted at 250497-2300 (tel.) or
250-497-2355 (fax). (Alternatively, the
Manager, Regulatory Standards, Industry Canada, may be contacted.)
