B.4 FCC
Note: 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 ID
K8C1408T
B.5 IC
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSS standard. Operation is
subject to the following conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
3. The installation of the TLPR device shall be done by trained installers in strict
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. The use of this device is on a “no-interference, no-protection” basis. That is, the
user shall accept operations of high-powered radar in the same frequency band
which may interfere with or damage this device. However, devices found to
interfere with primary licensing operations will be required to be removed at the
user’s expense.
5. This device shall be installed and operated in a completely enclosed container to
prevent RF emissions, which can otherwise interfere with aeronautical navigation.
6. 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
250-497-2300 (tel.) or 250-497-2355 (fax). (Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory
Standards, Industry Canada, may be contacted.)
