4.0 REGULATORY APPROVAL

The MRF24J40MA module has received regulatory approvals for modular devices in the United States, Canada and European countries. Modular approval allows the end user to place the MRF24J40MA module inside a finished product and not require testing for an intentional radiator (RF transmitter) provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.

The end user may still be responsible for testing the end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example: digital device emission, PC peripheral requirements, etc.) in the specific country that the end device will be marketed.

Annex F of the IEEE Std. 802.15.4 document has a good summary of regulatory requirements in various countries concerning IEEE Std. 802.15.4 devices. The standard can be downloaded from the IEEE Standards web page: http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.15.html.

Refer to the specific countries radio regulations for details on regulatory compliance.

4.1 United States

The MRF24J40MA has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommunications, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional Radiators” 15.247 and modular approval in accordance with FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407 Released: June 26, 2000, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval. The MRF24J40MA module can be integrated into a finished product with obtaining subsequent FCC approvals.

The MRF24J40MA module has been labeled with its own FCC ID number and if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following:

The user's manual should include the following 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.

4.1.1 RF EXPOSURE

All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. OET Bulletin 65 “Evaluating

Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields” provides

assistance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance.

If appropriate, compliance with exposure guidelines for mobile and unlicensed devices can be accomplished by the use of warning labels and by providing users with information concerning minimum separation distances from transmitting structures and proper installation of antennas.

Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: OA3MRF24J40MA

-or-
