Any changes made, but not approved by Badger Meter, can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

In accordance with FCC Regulations, “Code of Federal Regulations” Title 47, Part 2, Subpart J, Section 1091, endpoints pass 

the requirements pertaining to RF radiation exposure. However, to avoid public exposure in excess of limits for general 

population (uncontrolled exposure), a 20 cm distance between the endpoint and the body of the user must be maintained 

during testing.

IMPORTANT
Transportation: The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits operating endpoints and receivers on all commercial aircraft. 

The ORION endpoint is considered an operating transmitter and cannot be shipped by air.
