NO PART OF ITS CONTENTS MAY BE DISCLOSED OR CONVEYED TO, USED BY, OR COPIED TO A THIRD PARTY WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT BY ENERGATE INC. Page 8 4.0 Regulatory Requirements (FCC and IC) The Energate ZRM10 Radio Module device complies with FCC (Part 15) and Industry Canada (RS-210) regulatory requirements. Operation of the ZRM10 is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The Energate ZRM10 Radio Module can be integrated into a variety of different products. With this in mind, the ZRM10 has obtained Full Modular Approval from both the FCC and IC. This approval means that the ZRM10 is designed in such a way that it is a self-contained entity. The ZRM10 can then be attached to ANY product without any further testing by the FCC or IC for (radio) regulatory compliance in the 2400-2483.5MHz band. 4.1 RF Exposure Warning This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device must be installed in accordance with the provided instructions and must be operated with minimum 20 cm spacing between the antennas and any person’s body during wireless mode of operation. Further, this transmitter must not be collocated and operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 4.2 Labelling Requirements When integrating the Energate ZRM10 Radio Module into other products, the following requirements must be met: 1. Use only the antenna provided. 2. Operate the module according to the specifications listed in this User Manual. 3. Include a label clearly visible on the exterior of the end product which states: Contains FCC ID: WUR-ZRM10 IC ID: 8022A-ZRM10 NOTE: It is mandatory that end users of the Energate ZRM10 consult all FCC and IC documentation for use of a product with modular approval, and ensure any products comply with all listed guidelines and additional testing that may be required.
