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.
FCC Part 15.105 statement
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.
FCC Part 15.21 statement
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
RF Exposure Statement

module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change
RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
Note:
In the event that these conditions can’t be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry
Canada authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number can’t be used on the final product. In
these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a
separate FCC and Industry Canada authorization.
