Safety information

2.1

FCC guidelines

This equipment is to be used by developers for evaluation purposes only, and must not be incorporated into

any other device or system. This device must not be sold to the general public. Integrators are responsible

for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

The FCC approval of this device only covers the original configuration of this device (as supplied).

Any modifications to this product (including changes shown in this guide) may violate the rules of the

Federal Communications Commission and Industry Canada and make the operation of the product

unlawful.

2.1.1

Labeling

The FCC labels are located on the back of the board.

2.1.2

Operating conditions

The device must comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to these two conditions:

•

This device must not cause harmful interference.

•

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that can cause undesired

operation.

2.1.3

Exposure limits

The device must comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

Install the antenna(s) used by the device to provide a separation distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) from

all persons.

2.1.4

Antenna restrictions

An intentional radiator must be designed to ensure that no antenna (other than that furnished by the

responsible party) is used with the device. Using a permanently attached antenna or an antenna that uses

a unique coupling to the intentional radiator is considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this

Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but

using a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to

carrier current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of Sections 15.211, 15.213, 15.217,

15.219, or 15.221 of the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard. This requirement does not apply to intentional radiators

that must be professionally installed (such as perimeter protection systems and field disturbance sensors)

or to other intentional radiators which must be measured at the installation site (in accordance with Section

15.31(d)). The installer is responsible for ensuring that a proper antenna is employed (to not exceed the

limits in this Part).
