CE statement
This device has been tested and found to comply with the essential requirements
and other relevant provisions of the applicable EU Directives.
NOTE: The Sparkvue application software holds the data transmission
during the ESD testing, it can be functionally operated by simply clicking
"Start" on Sparkvue, which is considered normal operating practice in the
user manual.
FCC statement
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.
Note 1: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of 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.
NOTE 2: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE 3: Operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce
the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
RF exposure information and statement . this device meets government
requirements for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organizations through evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health. The SAR limit of
USA(FCC) is 1.6W/Kg averaged. Has also been tested against this SAR limit. SAR
information on this and other pad can be viewed on-line at
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the device FCC ID number for search. This
device was tested simulation typical 0 mm to body. To maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure requirements, the use of belt clips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly, the use of
accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
ISED Canada compliance statement
This device complies with ISED 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.
Operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
RF exposure information and statement . this equipment complies with IC RSS-102
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons regardless of age or health. The SAR limit of IC is 1.6W/Kg averaged.
Device types: Has also been tested against this SAR limit. This device was tested
simulation typical 0 mm to body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, the use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not
contain metallic components in its assembly, the use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided. The highest reported SAR value for body conditions is
1.201W/Kg respectively.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ISDE 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’appareil doit
accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible
d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
La bande 5150–5250 MHz est réservée uniquement pour une utilisation à
l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de
satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition au rayonnement du CNR-
102 de l’IC établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Les lignes directrices
sont fondées sur des normes qui ont été élaborées par des organisations
scientifiques indépendantes au moyen d’une évaluation périodique et approfondie
des études scientifiques. Les normes comprennent une marge de sécurité
substantielle conçue pour assurer la sécurité de toutes les personnes,
indépendamment de leur âge ou de leur état de santé. La limite SAR de CI est de
1.6 W/Kg en moyenne. a également été testé par rapport à cette limite SAR. Cet
appareil a été testé simulation typique 0 mm au corps. Pour maintenir la conformité
aux exigences d’exposition aux RF de la FCC, l’utilisation de pinces à courroie,
d’étuis et d’accessoires similaires ne devrait pas contenir de composants
métalliques dans son assemblage, l’utilisation d’accessoires qui ne satisfont pas à
ces exigences peut ne pas être conforme aux exigences d’exposition aux RF de la
FCC et devrait être évitée. La valeur SAR déclarée la plus élevée pour les
conditions corporelles est de 1,201 W / Kg respectivement.
