Note Regarding RF Exposure This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm in the US or 33cm, (Canada), between the radiator (antenna) and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 2 FCC and IC Notice and Cautions: FCC and IC Notice and Cautions: FCC Any changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Thinkify, LLC could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 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. IC 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. 3 Modular Use, Procedures, and Integration Instructions The Thinkify module must only be used under the following conditions outlined throughout this document. Voltage: The unit should have a stable and lower noise 5 volt supply from either the USB or the serial interface. Noise should be less than 50 mV peak to peak and the 5 Volts supply should var y less than plus or minus 5% under operation. Heat: The unit should be placed in such a manner that heat is allowed to exit the module. It is recommended that the device be placed with at least 200 square cm of heat sink when operating near the upper power, (above 200 mW), of the unit. Antennas: Only patch antennas of 6 dBil or less gain are authorized with this module. In all cases radiated power should be kept to a minimum. All end users shall adhere to all aspects of the integration procedures and instructions outlined in this section. This radio transmitter 9962A-100 has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Acceptable antennas, US and Canada: Patch antennas only. All patch antennas must have less than 6dBil gain. All must be nominally of 50 Ohm impedance. No other antenna types are approved at this time. Please contact Thinkify in reference to any antennas used. Separation: This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm in the US or 33cm, (Canada), between the radiator (antenna) and any part of any human body. The end …
