FCC Note:
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.
FCC Caution:
• Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the
user’s authority to operate this device.
• To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and
use only shielded interface cables with ferrite core when connecting to computer
or peripheral devices.
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.

How to Display Certification and Compliance Information
Certification and compliance information for this camera can be viewed on the
menu screen.
[ ] Select [Approved Regulations]
Contains FCC ID: VPYLB1JS955
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines as this equipment has very low levels of RF energy.
Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down
through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF
chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways
the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns
off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one
of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device
automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to
transmit or operational failure.

IC: 216A-DCG100D
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt
RSS(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.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
DC-G100D has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
