Dawn il-limiti huma mfassla biex jipprovdu protezzjoni raġonevoli kontra interferenza dannuża f'installazzjoni residenzjali. Dan it-tagħmir jiġġenera, juża u jista 'jirradja enerġija ta' frekwenza tar-radju u, jekk mhux installat u użat skont l-istruzzjonijiet, jista 'jikkawża interferenza ta' ħsara għall-komunikazzjonijiet bir-radju. Madankollu, m'hemm l-ebda garanzija li l-interferenza ma sseħħx f'installazzjoni partikolari. Jekk dan it-tagħmir jikkawża interferenza ta' ħsara għar-riċezzjoni tar-radju jew tat-televiżjoni, li tista' tiġi determinata billi jintefa u jinxtegħel it-tagħmir, l-utent huwa mħeġġeġ jipprova jikkoreġi l-interferenza b'waħda mill-miżuri li ġejjin:

Attenzjoni FCC:
Kwalunkwe tibdil jew modifika mhux approvata espressament mill-parti responsabbli għall-konformità tista' tħassar l-awtorità tal-utent biex iħaddem dan it-tagħmir.

NOTI IMPORTANTI

Twissija ta' ko-lokazzjoni:
Dan it-trasmettitur m'għandux ikun lokalizzat jew jaħdem flimkien ma' kwalunkwe antenna jew trasmettitur ieħor.

Istruzzjonijiet ta 'integrazzjoni OEM:
Dan l-apparat huwa maħsub biss għall-integraturi OEM taħt il-kundizzjonijiet li ġejjin:
Il-modulu tat-trasmettitur ma jistax ikun ko-lokat ma' xi trasmettitur jew antenna oħra. Il-modulu għandu jintuża biss mal-antenna(i) esterna(i) li kienet oriġinarjament ittestjata u ċċertifikata b'dan il-modulu.

Fil-każ li dawn il-kundizzjonijiet ma jistgħux jiġu sodisfatti (eżample ċerti konfigurazzjonijiet ta 'laptop jew ko-lokazzjoni ma' trasmettitur ieħor), allura l-awtorizzazzjoni FCC għal dan il-modulu flimkien mat-tagħmir ospitanti ma tibqax ikkunsidrata valida u l-ID FCC tal-modulu ma tistax tintuża fuq il-prodott finali. F'dawn iċ-ċirkostanzi, l-integratur OEM se jkun responsabbli biex jevalwa mill-ġdid il-prodott finali (inkluż it-trasmettitur) u jikseb awtorizzazzjoni FCC separata.
