Industry Canada ID: 21228-PENSOLIDUFX, contains Bluetooth™ module IC: 5123A-BGTWT12A

This device complies with Industry Canada RSS-210. 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.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio RSS-210. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :

(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et

(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est

susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

These devices comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. These devices may not cause harmful interferences;

2. These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The following figures list the Grant by FCC ID Number for each of the following devices:

FCC ID: ZLCPENSOLIDUFX

Please refer to the FCC’s website ( http://www.fcc.gov/ ) to view the grant and related documentation.

CAUTION ! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The radiated output of this device is far below the FCC radio

frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8inches) during normal operation. These devices may not be co-located with any other transmitter or transmitter antenna.

NOTE: 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. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interferences 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 instruction manual, 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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Microsensys GmbH could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment described in the manual. This device contains Bluetooth™ module FCC ID: QOQWT12.
