The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe GmbH may 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.
Page 36
The end product must in any case be labelled on the exterior with: "Contains FCC ID: T7V1740A " Due to the PAN1740A model size, the FCC identifier is displayed in the installation instruction only and it cannot be displayed readable on the module’s label due to the limited size.
Any notification to the end user of installation or removal instructions about the integrated radio module is not allowed. The radiated output power of the PAN1740A with a mounted ceramic antenna (FCC ID: T7V1740A) is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.

The end customer equipment must meet the actual Safety/Health requirements according to RED. PAN1740A and its model versions in the specified reference design can be used in all countries of the European Economic Area (Member States of the EU, European Free Trade Association States [Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway]), Monaco, San Marino, Andorra, and Turkey.
For Bluetooth end products which integrate the PAN1740A the OEM needs to apply for an own end product listing (EPL) at the Bluetooth SIG. If the PAN1740A is used on more than one OEM product, costs can be saved by applying for a family EPL.
Panasonic customers using or selling these products for use in such applications do so at their own risk and agree to fully indemnify Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe GmbH for any damages resulting.
