Chapter 1 Important Safety and Compliance
Information
This section provides important information for your safety and product compliance.
USA, FCC Part 15 compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference that may cause undesirable operation.
This device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters (7.9
inches) from all persons to be compliant with regulatory RF exposure.
USA, FCC Class B-Part 15
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 or TV technician for help.
Modifications and Repairs
To ensure system performance, this device and antenna shall not be changed or modified
without the express approval of Itron. Per FCC rules, unapproved modifications or operation
beyond or in conflict with these instructions for use could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.

Canada, ISED compliance
Compliance Statement Canada Déclaration de Conformité
This device complies with Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, (2) this
device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
Under Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED) 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR
d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1)
l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie
Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de
réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l'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'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.
RF Exposure (FCC/ISED)
This equipment complies with radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20 cm between the
radiator and your body. This transmitter must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites
d'exposition aux radiations dans un
environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement do
it être installé et utilisé à distance minimum de 20
cm entre le radiateur et votre corps. Cet émetteur
ne doit pas être co-localisées ou opérant en
conjonction avec tout autre antenne ou
transmetteur.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Caution: Use only approved accessories with this equipment. All cables must be
high quality, shielded, and correctly terminated. Unapproved modifications or
operation beyond or in conflict with these use instructions may void the authority's
authorization to operate the equipment.
