SmartCraft Connect Module—Single through Quad Engine
NOTE: The Connect module does not provide power for any device on the NMEA 2000 network. The NMEA 2000 network
will require its own power source. The NMEA power input must have appropriate circuit protection for the devices on the
NMEA 2000 network.

SMARTCRAFT CONNECT GATEWAY OPERATION MANUAL
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes RSS exemptes de licence d'Innovation, Science et Développement économique
Canada. Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes: 1) cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d'interférences,
et 2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les interférences susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement
indésirable de l'appareil.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
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 instructions, 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 of the following measures:
•
•
•
•
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.
RF Exposure Considerations
To comply with FCC and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada RF exposure limits for general population /
uncontrolled exposure, the antenna must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi‑transmitter product
procedures.
Pour se conformer aux limites d'exposition aux RF de la FCC et d'Industrie Canada pour la population générale / exposition
non contrôlée, l'antenne(s) utilisée pour ce transmetteur doit être installé pour fournir une distance de séparation d'au moins
20cm de toutes les personnes et fonctionnant conjointement avec une autre antenne ou émetteur, sauf en conformité avec
les procédures de produits multi‑ émetteur FCC.
