Regulatory Information

FCC Declaration of Conformity
These devices comply with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
These devices may not cause harmful interference.
These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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. If this equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it 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 to 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.
The use of shielded cables for connection of the monitor to the graphics card is required to assure compliance with FCC regulations. Modifications to these devices not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any antenna or transmitter.

FCC Channel Restriction
USRobotics declares that USR5420 (FCC ID: MXF-U921201G) is limited in CH1~CH11 by specified firmware controlled in U.S.A.

Industry Canada Statement
The term "IC" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada Technical specifications were met. This equipment complies with the Industry Canada Spectrum Management and Telecommunications policy, RSS-210 standard, Low Power License-Exempt Radio Communication Devices.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may cause interference.
  2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotopically radiated power(EIRP) is not more than required for successful communication. This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 2dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

UL Listing/CUL Listing
This information technology equipment is UL Listed and C-UL Listed for both the US and Canadian markets respectively. Suggested cable type is 90-ohm USB cable for the USB port.
