Place the antenna of the Receiving Unit in a position that ensures a minimum separation distance of 20cm from all the people that can be in the working area.
Read carefully the section of the Manual where the antenna position is described, both in the general part and in the specific part referring to the Receiving Unit.
Autec allows you to use only the dedicated antenna supplied either with the remote control or as original spare part. The use of any other type of antenna is prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.

FCC

As required by standard FCC Part 15, the following indication is valid for all the Units listed in the previous table.
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.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the User’s authority to operate the equipment.
As required by standard FCC Part 15, the following indication is valid for all the Units listed in the previous table.
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.

As required by the document “RSS-Gen — General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radio Apparatus”, the following indication is valid for all the Units listed in the previous table.
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.

As required by the document “RSS-Gen — General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radio Apparatus”, the following indications are valid for all the Receiving Units listed in the previous table.
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.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Frequencies

Air series’ Radio Remote Controls can work in two different frequency bands: 863-870MHz or 915-928MHz.
The Radio Remote Controls’ working frequency is defined by market-specific laws and standards. In order for the system “Machine+Radio Remote Control” to be compliant and therefore to be used, these laws and standards must be respected: if they are not, the Radio Remote Control cannot and must not be used.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the Radio Remote Control is set with frequencies that are forbidden in the country of use.

Frequency band 863-870MHz

Frequencies
The radio link between the Units of Autec Air series’ Radio Remote Controls is established at one of the frequencies permitted by the European standards in force when the system is put on the market.
The Units communicate with one another in dynamic mode, that is:

• They use a working frequency in the 863-870MHz band
•  They check that the frequency is free before using it
• They continuously change the working frequency in order to guarantee the radio link even in the presence of interference.

Countries of usage
Air series’ Radio Remote Controls working in the 863-870MHz frequency band can be used within the EU (European Union) and the EFTA (European Free Trade Association).
Check on the technical data plate of the Units in which markets the Radio Remote Control can be used.

Frequency band 915-928MHz

Frequencies
The radio link between the Units of Autec Air series Radio Remote Controls is established at one of the frequencies permitted by the USA, Canadian and Australian standards in force when the system is put on the market.

The Units communicate with one another in dynamic mode, that is:

• They use a working frequency in the 915-928MHz
• They check that the frequency is free before using it
• They continuously change the working frequency in order to guarantee the radio link even in the presence of interference.

Countries of usage

Air series’ Radio Remote Controls working in the frequency band 915-928MHz can be used in the USA, Canadian and Australian markets.
Check on the technical data plate of the Units in which markets the Radio Remote Control can be used.
