IC Warning Statement

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.

This radio transmitter(IC: 3568A-PCEN15) has been approved by Industry Canada

to operate with the antenna types listed below 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.
