Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts 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.

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.

Conformément àla réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut

fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvépour l'émetteur par Industrie

Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique àl'intention des 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'intensiténécessaire àl'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
