Operation is subject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference which may cause un-desired operation.Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the FCC authorizations to operate this equipment.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.

This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause un-desired operation.This device and the handbook complies with the requirements of RSS-Gen. Operation is subject to the conditions that follow:1. The installation of the LPR/TLPR device shall be done by trained installers, in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.2. The use of this device is on a "no-interference, no-protection" basis. That is, the user shall ac-cept 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.3. The TLPR device shall be installed and operated in a completely enclosed container to prevent RF emissions, which can otherwise interfere with aeronautical navigation.4. LPR devices: Ensure a vertically downward orientation of the transmit antenna and an instal-lation only at fixed locations.5. The installer / user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from the Dominion Radio Astrophysical 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 coor-dinate with, and obtain the written concurrence of, the Director of the DRAO before the equip-ment 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.
