Certification Information
Certification Information
North America Regulatory Statement
This unit was certified by an agency approved in both Canada and the
United States of America. It has been evaluated according to applicable
North American approved standards for product safety for use in Canada
and the United States.
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003
compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to
ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note: Information such as the FCC and IC numbers is available directly from Mini
Toolbox X. From the button bar, tap , and then select the Platform tab.
The numbers are listed under Regulatory information.

Certification Information
If you purchased the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® options, your unit comes with
an internal wireless module and antenna for which the following
information applies:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). 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 device complies with the US/Canada portable RF exposure limit
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended
operation as described in this user documentation. The further RF
exposure reduction can be achieved if the device can be kept as far as
possible from the user’s body.
This device does not contain any user-serviceable components. Any
unauthorized product changes or modifications will invalidate
warranty and all applicable regulatory certifications and approvals.

Certification Information
European Community Declaration of Conformity
Warning: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to
take adequate measures.
Hereby, EXFO declares that the radio equipment type “Wideband Data
Transmission” is in compliance with European Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following
Internet address: www.exfo.com/library.
The information about the Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi frequency bands is as
follows:
Bluetooth®: Between the frequencies 2400.0 MHz - 2483.5 MHz.
The output power is 4.0 dBm typical.
Wi-Fi: Between the frequencies 2400.0 MHz - 2483.5 MHz.
The maximum output power is 16.0 dBm.
Wi-Fi: Between the frequencies 5150.0 MHz - 5825.0 MHz.
The maximum output power is 12.0 dBm.
This device is a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wideband transmission system
(transceiver), intended for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries,
except in France and Italy where restrictive use applies.
In Italy, the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum
authorities in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting up
outdoor radio links and/or for supplying access to telecommunications
and/or network services.
This device may not be used for setting up radio links in France, and in
some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the
frequency range of 2454 - 2483.5 MHz. For detailed information, the
end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.

Power Sources
Power Sources
Your unit operates with the following power sources:
AC adapter/charger (connected to standard power outlet—indoor use
only). Compatible car outlet adapter available upon request.
When it is connected to an external power source with the AC
adapter/charger, the unit will function even if the battery is not present.
One lithium-ion rechargeable battery (automatically takes over if you
disconnect the unit from its external power source).
Possible to switch from an external power source to battery power
or vice versa without affecting operation.
The battery recharges automatically when the unit is connected to
an external power source (with the AC adapter/charger or car
outlet adapter).
Note: When the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or when it reaches or
exceeds about 40 °C, the battery can either charge more slowly than usual,
or not charge at all, depending on the internal temperature of your unit.
For more information, see Electrical Safety Information on page 19.
Automatic Fan Speed Management
Your unit will determine the most appropriate fan speed, depending on the
power requirements and the type of modules you are using.
If the temperature keeps rising and reaches the limit: your FTB-1v2 and
FTB-1v2 Pro will turn off to protect both the module and the platform itself.
