6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Maximum ratings are the extreme limits the chip can be exposed to without causing
permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for prolonged periods of time
may affect the reliability of the chip.
Table 5 specifies the absolute maximum ratings.
1. Flash endurance is 20,000 erase cycles. The smallest element of flash that can be written is a 32 bit word.

10. Statements
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
15.21
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
15.105(b)
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.
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 of the device.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement :
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Note: The end product shall have the words “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:
2AI2V-ISBLE1810X5 “
