General safety instructions

WARNING: Avoid electric shock! Do not open the cover of this product.

Opening or removing the cover may expose you to dangerous voltages.

Power source warning: A label on this product indicates the correct power source for
this product. Operate this product only from an electrical outlet with the voltage and
frequency indicated on the product label.
Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other
damage. Should you find any such damage, discontinue use of the cable.
If this product connects to cable wiring, be sure the cable system is grounded
(earthed). Grounding provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Protect the product from lightning Eliminate AC mains overloads
Never apply excessive force on the connector into a port, because this may cause
damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port do not join
with reasonable ease, they probably do not match. Check for obstructions and make
sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector
correctly in relation to the port.

Provide ventilation and select a location: Remove all packaging material before
applying power to the product. Do not place this apparatus on an unstable surface. Do
not block ventilation openings.
Protect from exposure to moisture and foreign objects: Do not expose this product to
dripping or splashing liquids, rain, or moisture unless fitted with sealing cover.
Do not drop or knock the product. Do not place objects on top of the product.
Unplug this product before cleaning. Do not use a liquid cleaner or an aerosol cleaner.
Do not use a magnetic/static cleaning device (dust remover) to clean this product.
Never push objects through the openings in this product. Foreign objects can cause
electrical shorts that can result in electric shock or fire.
CAUTION: the product may become hot when is use. The product can be damaged if
stored or operated outside of the temperature ranges (see datasheet). Avoid exposing
the product to extreme temperatures or dramatic changes in temperature or humidity.

WARNING: This device has antitampering technology. Attempts to open
the enclosure by unqualified personnel may render the device inoperable.
If you open the cover, the warranty will be void. This product contains no

user-serviceable parts.

Country specific statements and certifications

• CE

CE Declaration of conformity:

Hereby, Sigfox declares that the radio equipment type SMBS-T4 is in compliance with
Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet
address: https://resources.sigfox.com/document/smbs-t4-notice

WEEE:

This marking on the product, accessories or literature indicates that the
product and its electronic accessories should not be disposed of as
unsorted household waste. To prevent possible harm to the environment
or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, please separate

these items from other types of waste in accordance with local
environmental regulation. These items need to be recycled responsibly to promote
sustainable reuse of material resources.

• FCC

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license­exempt 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.

5

➢ Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly

approved by (manufacturer name) may void the FCC authorization to
operate this equipment.

➢ 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.

➢ This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance

of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.

NOTE: 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 ID : 2ACK7-SMBST4

• Canada

"Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada.

6

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.

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 interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that

may cause undesired operation of the device."

This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body.

Conformément à la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inferieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.

Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. 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
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies

pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec
un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.
