Industry Canada Statement

This device complies with ISED’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ ISED applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:

  1. le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et
  2. ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radio électrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

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.

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.

Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Quuppa could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This portable transmitter with its antenna complies with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure.

OEM Responsibilities

Warning: The OEM must ensure that FCC and IC labelling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the OEM enclosure specifying the appropriate Quuppa Oy FCC and IC identifiers for this product.

Contains FCC ID: QE9QT1

Contains IC: 10657A-QT1

or

Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: QE9QT1

Contains Transmitter Module IC: 10657A-QT1

If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the following FCC part 15.19 statement has to also be available visibly on outside of device:

The enclosed 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.

The Quuppa Tag Module (QT1) has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:

  1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 5mm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
  2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).

Important: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and Industry Canada authorization.
