RN42 Bluetooth Transceiver Regulatory Information 

United States 

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. 

Canada 

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.  

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
