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-WICHAM01 et 10248A-FLDAAM01 ont été
approuvés par Industrie Canada pour 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.”
