Regulatory Compliance

FCC
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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits pursuant to Part 15
Subpart B. FCC Part 22 & Part 24 is covered by the "modular approval" process for the
embedded wireless module. This approach, described by FCC Public Notice DA 00-131407
released June 26, 2000, is intended to afford relief to equipment manufacturers by
eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new equipment authorization for the same
transmitter when installed in a new device.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an
appropriate installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not used in accordance with instructions, can cause harmful radiation to radio
communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
RF EXPOSURE
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emissions limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. These guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by the U.S. and
international standards bodies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless RF devices, such as the device, employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. SAR values at or below that limit are considered safe for the general public.
Before a wireless RF device is made available for sale to the Public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limits established by the FCC. Tests for
SAR are conducted using the positions and locations (e.g., at the ear or worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each device model.
In order to use this device without additional FCC certification approvals, the installation must
meet the following conditions:
