TDFM-136B Installation Instructions08RE398 ! CAUTION STATIC SENSITIVE ! This unit contains static sensitive devices. Wear a grounded wrist strap and/or conductive gloves when handling printed circuit boards. FCC COMPLIANCE This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING: For compliance with FCC RF Exposure Requirements, the mobile transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions: 1.The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 3 dBi. 2.The transmitter antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of 1.0 meter or more between the transmitter antenna of this device and persons during operation. NOTE: 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 and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, 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: • Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet or circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Technisonic Industries could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. WARRANTY INFORMATION The Model TDFM-136B, VHF/FM Digital Transceiver is under warranty for one year from date of purchase. Failed units caused by defective parts, or workmanship should be returned to: Technisonic Industries LimitedTechnisonic Industries Limited 240 Traders Blvd.,3840 E.

To make it easier for installation agencies to provide their customers with an approved installation supported by an effective Airworthiness Approval, Technisonic has secured Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approvals (both US and Canadian) on it’s airborne FM products for many helicopters currently being delivered in the US and Canada, as well as a number of single engine fixed wing aircraft. The DO- 160C test data, referenced below, are also on file and available from Technisonic to support approval requirements in airframes for which Technisonic does not possess an STC. Approved aircraft types are listed in the attachments to the formal STC documents. These STC’s are the exclusive property of Technisonic Industries Ltd., and require the written authority of Technisonic for their use. To assist Factory Authorized Technisonic Dealers in the certification process, we have placed copies of our Canadian and US STC’s on our web site along with a letter of authorization for their use. These documents may be downloaded and used as support for the technical submission to FAA or Transport Canada. Only factory authorized dealers/installers are permitted to download and make use of these documents on behalf of their customers (end users) in support of regulatory agency approval. please refer to the Technisonic web site www.til.ca for the latest issue of available STC’s and letter of authorization for use. iv TDFM-136B Installation Instructions08RE398 Document Revision Table for 08RE398 Rev. / Issue PageDescriptionDateAppr. v 08RE398TDFM-136B Installation Instructions Table of Contents Table of Contents............................................................................................................................vi Table of Tables...............................................................................................................................vii Table of Figures..............................................................................................................................vii SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION ....................................................................................1-1 1.1 Introduction......................................................................................................................1-1 1.2 Description........................................................................................................................1-1 1.3 Purpose of Equipment......................................................................................................1-1 1.4 Model Variation.......…

Technisonic Industries Limited 240 Traders Blvd., Mississauga, Ontario L4Z 1W7 Tel.: (905) 890-2113 Fax: (905) 890-5338 April 20, 2009 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 USA FCC ID: IMATDFM-136B Dear Sir/Madam, Technisonic understands the following Part 90 VHF spectrum and would like the FCC to certify the entire 136-174MHz spectrum to include the part 90 extended frequencies. This would be done to facilitate the requirements of agencies covered under NTIA spectrum usage. Government agencies complying with the NTIA instead of the FCC must purchase their equipment from private industry manufacturers who are governed by FCC rules. The conflict in spectrum allocation detracts from the options available to government agencies for commercial off the shelf equipment which meets their required specifications such as the requirements stated in the Department of the Interior’s Narrowband digital radio contract. Part 90 extended frequencies: 136-137 MHz Part 87 137-138 MHz Part 25 144-148 MHz Part 97 148-150.05 MHz Part 25 156.2475-157.0375 MHz Part 87 161.575-161.625 MHz Part 22 and 80 161.625-161.775 Part 22 and 74 Regards Steve McIntosh Engineering Manager
