EMC - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into 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. In addition, 47 CFR 15.21 indicates that the user manual shall include a warning indicating that changes or modification to the product could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This requirement applies to all authorization types regardless of class. ITE in Canada The Canadian regulatory group concerned with electronic equipment interference is Industry Canada. Industry Canada’s ITE requirements are minimal, and like the FCC’s, only cover radiated and line conducted emissions. There are no immunity requirements. The method of compliance is self-declaration to Canadian standard ICES-003, which tracks the FCC’s requirements, combined with a small label. However, it is unimportant that the ICES-003 requirements differ from those of the FCC from time to time, because equipment that complies with the FCC limits is considered by Industry Canada to be compliant with the Canadian rules. For ITE, equipment in compliance with either FCC Part 15 or CISPR 22 is considered to meet ICES003. ISM equipment limits are the same as the EU EN55011. Digital products and ISM products must be labeled by a notice in French and English. The notice must take the form of a label on the product if practical. As an alternative, where it is not feasible to label the product due to product size or other consideration, the notice must be reproduced in the manual. Note that considerations such as product appearance are not considered to meet the feasibility test. The notice must state that the product is in compliance with Canadian InterferenceCausing Equipment regulations and may be in your own words. A suggested text for ITE products is: (English): This Class A or B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. (French): Cet appareil numerique de la classe A or B est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada. Reports must be kept on file for review by the appropriate Canadian Minister for a period of five years. In the EU, Both Immunity and Interference are Regulated In the European Union (EU) product requirements derive from EU law written in the form of Directives.
