(b) For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual: ⚫ 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. ⚫ Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance Flex 12EPH/8EPH Standard, AB and Tandem Instruction Manual (FCC/CE) September 2016 Page 3 of 43 could void the authority to operate equipment. ⚫ This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. ⚫ End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. ⚫ For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~141 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible FCC MPE：This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment for body-worn configuration in direct contact to the phantom. IC WARNINGS RSS-Gen Issue 4 8.4 According to RSS-Gen Issue 4 section 8.4, User manuals for licence-exempt radio apparatus shall contain the following text, or an equivalent notice that shall be displayed in a conspicuous location, either in the user manual or on the device, or both: (English) T…

Page: 1 / 1 Report No.: T190902W05-MF Rev.: 01 FCC ID: R4UARCFLEXEPH According to KDB 447498 section 4.3.1, the 1-g SAR test exclusion thresholds at test separation distance ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW) / (min. test separation distance, mm)] *·[√f(GHz)] ≤ 3.0 The tune-up power is 0dBm ± 1dBm, therefore the highest tune-up power is 1.0 dBm (1.2589 mW) @ 440.000 MHz When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 5) in section 4.1 is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. So, (1.2589mW / 5mm) * (0.440GHz^0.5 )= 0.1670 [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW) / (min. test separation distance, mm)] * [√f(GHz)] = 0.1670 < 3.0 Therefore, standalone SAR measurements are not required for both head and body.
