19 Appendix C: FCC Compliance Information
(con’t)
Caution: The radio receiver and transmitter of your FreeStyle Navigator system operate on the
frequency of 433.6 MHz. Primary users of this frequency band include amateur “HAM” radio
transmitters. Because of the coexistence of the FreeStyle Navigator radio connection and HAM
transmitters, there may be instances where the connection between your transmitter and receiver may
be lost when in proximity to HAM radio equipment.
The FreeStyle Navigator system is designed to sense and notify you about a lost connection. If your
FreeStyle Navigator system loses the radio connection, increase the separation distance between
yourself and the transmitter by moving away from the HAM radio. The FreeStyle Navigator radio
connection should re-establish itself. You should note that HAM radio products can be fixed, mobile
or portable handheld (“walkie talkie” type) units.
Classification
The transmitter and receiver are classified as follows:
• Internally-powered equipment.
• Type B equipment.
• Mode of operation for the receiver is “continuous operation”.
• Mode of operation for the transmitter is “continuous operation with intermittent loading”.
