Connected Appliance Regulatory Notices
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Compliance Notice
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 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. 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information
To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure requirements for mobile
transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or
installed at locations where there is at least 20 cm separation
distance between the antenna and all persons.
To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general
population/uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
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,
2.
This device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
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. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
The radio transmitters IC: 10248A-WICHAM01 and
10248A-FLDAAM01 have been approved by Industry Canada to
operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list,
having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that
type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure
limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation
distance of 20 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna)
and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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. Conformément à la réglementation
d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec
une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) 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 émetteurs radio IC : 10248A-WICHAM01et
10248A-FLDAAM01ont été approuvés par Industrie Canadapour
fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant
un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque
type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou
dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement
interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.

Pour satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et IC d’exposition aux
radiofréquences, une distance de séparation de 20 cm ou plus
doit être maintenue entre cet appareil et des personnes lors de
fonctionnement du dispositif. Pour assurer la conformité des
opérations au plus près que cette distance n’est pas recommandée.
L’antenne utilisée pour ce transmetteur ne doit pas être co-localisés
en conjonction avec toute autre antenne ou transmetteur.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC and Industry Canada
Regulations
The WICHAM01/FLDAAM01 Modules have been certified for
integration into products only by OEM integrators under the
following conditions:
1.
The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum
separation distance of 20 cm is maintained between the
radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
2.
The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter
testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is
still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for
example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements,
etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions cannot
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 cannot 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.
End Product Labeling
The WICHAM01/FLDAAM01 Modules are labeled with FCC ID and
IC Certification Number. If the FCC ID and IC Certification Number
are not visible when the module is installed inside another device,
then the outside of the device into which the module is installed
must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that
case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area or
display the following:
“Contains FCC ID: A5UWICHAM01”
“Contains IC: 10248A-WICHAM01”
or
“
Contains FCC ID: A5UFLDAAM01”
“Contains IC: 10248A-FLDAAM01”
The OEM of the WICHAM01/FLDAAM01 Module must only use the
approved antenna(s), which have been certified with this module.
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.
The user manual for the end product must include the
following information in a prominent location:
“To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure
limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation
distance of 20 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna)
and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
