10. Qualification
10.1 Qualification Process
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or
repair of any application incorporating this Module. Manufacturers of the RF equipment are advised to
convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these
guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. EZURiO assumes no liability
for customer failure to comply with these precautions.
10.2 Safety Information:
If the WLAN module is used in equipment that might be taken and operated on a commercial flight, the
following safety instructions, or similar warning should be added to the user manual.
“Switch off the Wireless device before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on
inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden by many airlines to
prevent interference with communications systems.”
10.3 Certifications
10.3.1
FCC and Industry Canada Statements
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.
To inherit the modular approval, the antennas 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.
Co-location with other radio transmitting devices operating concurrently in the same band will require
additional testing and certification.
10.3.1.1
FCC Labelling requirement
If the FCC ID is 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.
This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:
PI405W” or “Contains FCC ID: PI405W.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be
used.
10.3.2
National RF approvals
A list of the countries where the Module is approved will be provided by EZURiO as required. As a
minimum the product is listed in Europe, Scandinavia, Canada and USA. EZURiO assumes no liability
for customer failure to comply with national RF approval.
10.3.2.1
R&TTE Notification Requirement
The 2.4GHz band has some restrictions within the EU when the transmit power level is greater than
10mW (R&TTE Class 2). Because of this, it is designated within R&TTE as a non-harmonised band.
Such products must be notified to the appropriate Notified Body within each country where it is placed
on the market. EZURiO has notified the WISM module, but manufacturers incorporating it within their
products and intending to sell these within Europe have a responsibility to notify the appropriate
nominated body before commercial introduction. A list of nominated bodies is available at:
Further details on the notification procedure are given in EZURiO’s Application Note AN016 -
Notification Requirements for Wireless Products.
