FCC Statements:

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.

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE
MANUFACTURER FOR COMPLIANCE COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY
TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT

CAUTION: This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-

located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. End user cannot
modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized
modification made on the device could avoid the
user's authority to operate this device.

CAUTION: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements, a separation distance of at least
20cm must be maintained between the antenna of
this device and all persons.

The following sentence has to be displayed on the outside
of the device in which the transmitter module is installed:
“Contains FCC ID:PH3XE972

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. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help.

IC Statements:

The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only

signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications

were met.
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada “IC”.
“Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference, including

interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.”

"The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the

antenna is located or pointed such that it does
not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada
limits for the general population; consult Safety
Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website
www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb"

L’ utililisation de ce dispositif est autorisée

seulement aux conditions suivantes :
(1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et
(2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt

à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de
compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

"The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the

antenna is located or pointed such that it does
not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada
limits for the general population; consult Safety
Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website
www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb"

“To reduce potential radio interference to other users,
the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication.”
