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.

This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry

Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved

antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required

antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.

Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain

greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are

strictly prohibited for use with this device.
