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.
This radio transmitter IC: 10248A-XPWG3 has 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 présent émetteur radio IC : 10248A-XPWG3 a été approuvé 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 XPWG3 Module has 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 XPWG3 Module is labeled with its own 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 with the following:

“Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: A5UXPWG3”

“Contains Transmitter Module IC: 10248A-XPWG3”

or

“Contains FCC ID: A5UXPWG3”

“Contains IC: 10248A-XPWG3”

The OEM of the XPWG3 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.”
