FCC REGULATIONS
1.3.1 Licensing
The FCC requires that the radio owner obtain a station license for his radio before
using the equipment to transmit, but does not require an operating license or
permit. The station licensee is responsible for proper operation and maintenance of
his radio equipment, and for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and
deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. This includes
checking the transmitter frequency and deviation periodically using appropriate
methods.
1.3.2 Equipment Authorization (Certification)
The unit is certified for transmission of either voice or data signals when aligned
according to the alignment procedure for the proper bandwidth and when operated
as a complete unit in the metal case. Operation of the RF board as a stand-alone
unit or in combination with any other equipment, in any mode outside the alignment
procedure, or with the clipper filter electronically disabled will require the filing of a
new certification application with the FCC by the user.
1.3.3 Standards
The FCC, with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated equipment.
The NL5000 product family has been evaluated for compliance with the maximum
exposure limits for RF energy at the maximum power rating of the unit and with the
only antenna sold for use with this product by RF NEULINK. To ensure compliance
with the General Population/Uncontrolled maximum exposure limits, please
observe the following:
When the RF Neulink RAM-1545 remote magnetic mount antenna is used, mount
the antenna in a location that will ensure that all persons will be located 8.0 inches
away from the antenna of all models
Antennas other than the RF Neulink RAM-1545 must be tested with the NL5000 for
RF exposure compliance in the environment in which it is to be used per the FCC’s
OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 or Industry Canada RSS-102.
