Important Regulatory Information
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.
It is intended to be used ONLY for educational and
experimental use in Class II/III amateur High Power Rockets
which are classified as aircraft by the Federal Aircraft
Administration (CFR 14 §101.25), and which must by FAA and
NFPA regulations be operated at least 1,500' away from any
populated buildings. Although unlikely, this device may cause
interference with consumer devices that run on the
unlicensed 2.4 GHz band, and therefore must not be used in
residential areas.
Contains FCC ID: 2ADUIESP-12
The Eggtimer WiFi Switch uses an ESP8266-12 WiFi module in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed band,
per FCC part 15. It is intended to be used only in the United States or other countries in which
this band (or a subset of it) is not subject to licensing. We have made a good faith attempt to
comply with all technical regulations, and you should too by building it exactly as per the
instructions, and by not modifying the WiFi module in any way.
Because the WiFi Switch runs on an unlicensed band, there is no protection against
interference from other sources; basically, you get what you get. We've done substantial
testing and are confident that your WiFi Switch is unlikely to be significantly affected by
outside radio sources, but there's no guarantee.
If your Eggtimer WiFi Switch causes interference in a residential setting, or with licensed radio
systems (such as TV or ham radio), you must stop using it until you correct the problem. This
is extremely unlikely given the small amount of power, and in particular the distance from any
population that HPR rockets must be flown. Nevertheless, you need to be aware of this, and
be willing to abide by the rules. These are the same rules that govern other non-licensed
transmitters, such as cordless phones, WiFi and Bluetooth® devices, and garage door openers.
