Hi Mike,
Warning.. Not much research into this, so it's mostly from what I can remember.. Commission Decision 2007/90/EC, which amends 2005/513/EC, states in Article 1 that they are for indoor use only. This CEPT document might help to explain it: http://www.erodocdb.dk/Docs/doc98/official/word/ECCDec0408.doc Also, it's listed as a Class 2 device on the EU website: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/files/rtte-subclass2_en.pdf Scroll down to page 2 and it confirms why it is Class 2. Indoor use only. Thanks, Michael.

What document is that stated in? Thanks, Michael Sundstrom Garmin Compliance Engineer 2-2606 (913) 440-1540 Whatever your discipline, become a student of excellence in all things.
