Cutter does not cut or cuts poorly . 25 Labels wont feed . 25 Labels are jammed in the printer . 25 Printer does not turn on . 25 Printer turns off by itself . 26 Print quality is poor . 26 The first label printed has a black line on it. 27 Nothing prints . 27 Text positioned incorrectly on pre-sized labels . 27 Battery doesnt fully charge in four hours . 27 Printer not connecting to mobile device . 27 M211 User Manual 24 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Scenarios Cutter does not cut or cuts poorly Problem: Labels print, but are not cut, or the cuts are rough and torn. Solutions:

Label fragments may be stuck in the cutter. Remove the cartridge. Use a small tool such as tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully remove any fragments visible within the cartridge bay. Use caution not to damage any of the components in the cartridge bay. If you have concerns, please contact technical support for further assistance. WARNING! Never attempt to remove fragments with your fingers. The cutter assembly includes very sharp components that can cause injury. Make sure the software is set to cut as desired (between labels or at the end of the job). Labels wont feed Problem: Labels wont advance out of the printer. Solution: The leading edge of the label roll may be uneven or torn. Use a pair of scissors to cut a straight leading edge on the labels. Labels are jammed in the printer Problem: Labels are jammed in the printer. Solution: Clear the jam. 1. Rotate the locking lever to unlock it. Unlocking retracts the platen so the cartridge can be removed. If the jam is large, you may have to force the locking lever to the unlocked position. 2. Remove the cartridge. 3. Use tweezers or a needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the jammed label and any fragments visible within the cartridge bay. WARNING! Using metal objects to remove jams can scratch, dent, or crack the printhead. Use caution to avoid damaging the printhead. Printer does not turn on Problem: Nothing happens when I press the power button. Solutions:

M211 User Manual 25 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Scenarios Printer turns off by itself Problem: The printer frequently turns itself off. Solutions:

The battery may be low. Plug the printer into a USB port or wall outlet. For more information, see Power and Battery on page 5. The printer may be set to shut off automatically after too short a time. Print quality is poor Problem: Print is too light, fuzzy, grainy, compressed, offset, or has blank spots or lines. Solutions:

The ribbon may be wrinkled. Remove the cartridge from the printer and advance the ribbon by rotating the take-up spool clockwise until the wrinkled ribbon is no longer visible. Reinstall the cartridge and reprint the label. When reinserting the cartridge, be careful that the ribbon does not get caught on the metal at the bottom of the cartridge bay. Dust or adhesives may have accumulated on the printhead. Clean the printhead. See Cleaning the Printhead and Platen Roller on page 22. The media may not be usable. Install a different cartridge. M211 User Manual 26 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Scenarios The label supply may have a crease in it. Use the Express Labels app to feed the label supply past the crease and then reprint the label. If the print is compressed or offset, the platen roller may be dirty. Clean the platen roller. See Cleaning the Printhead and Platen Roller on page 22. The first label printed has a black line on it Problem: After being unused, the printer makes a black line on the first label printed. Solution: If the cartridge is left locked when the printer is not in use, the printhead remains pressed against the platen roller. Residual heat in the printhead causes ink to transfer to the label. Reprint the label, and unlock the cartridge when the printer is not in use. Nothing prints Problem: I sent a file to the printer, but it didnt print. Solutions:

Make sure the cartridge lock lever is locked. See Loading Cartridges on page 10. Check the cartridge for damage and replace it if it is damaged. Check for jammed labels. See Labels are jammed in the printer on page 25. Reboot the printer. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. Text positioned incorrectly on pre-sized labels Problem: Text on pre-sized labels is not positioned correctly. Solution: There may be debris on the position sensor. Remove the cartridge and blow debris off the sensor using a can of compressed air. See Cleaning the Sensor on page 23. Battery doesnt fully charge in four hours Problem: The printer has been plugged in for four hours and is not yet charged. Solution: If you had printed until the battery was completely discharged, and then the printer was unused for a long time (about four weeks or longer), the battery may take six to eight hours to recondition and fully charge. Printer not connecting to mobile device Problem: The printer does not appear in my Express Labels app. Solution: The printer may already be connected to another mobile device.

M610 Label Printer User Manual 32 Editing Labels on the Printer Default Formatting 2. Select the desired option or cancel the deletion by pressing the Backspace key. 3. If you selected Clear All, a confirmation message displays. Navigate to Yes in the message and press ENTER. Default Formatting Default Settings Default settings are determined by the printer for the installed label supply. When the label supply or application label type is reloaded, it will return to these settings. The font and its attributes can also be set as a default using Font Settings. Formatting Text Character and line formats called attributes change the appearance of the fonts, such as size, weight

(bold), angle (italics), underline, and expanding or condensing the text. Different formatting features can be found under the Font, Label, and Area functions.. Typeface The typeface (font style) is determined in the setup menu and cannot be changed on individual labels or lines. See Font on page 10. Fonts cannot be downloaded to the printer. Font Size Font size applies to an entire line of data at a time and is measured in point size or millimeters, as determined in the Setup function. If the size is changed before the data is entered, all the data in the current and subsequent lines takes on the new font size until font size is changed again. Changing the font size on pre-entered data changes the size on the entire line, regardless of where the cursor is in the line. However, the font size will not change on subsequent lines of pre-entered data. You must change the font size on each individual line of pre-entered data. To change the size of the chosen font:

1. Position the cursor on the line of text that you want to resize. See Positioning the Cursor on page 32. 2. Press FONT. A pop-up menu displays the available font sizes for the label supply installed. 3. Navigate through the Size menu to select the desired font size. Custom: To manually enter a size, select Custom.

M610 Label Printer User Manual 33 Editing Labels on the Printer Formatting Text Auto: To have text automatically size as you type, select Auto. Autosize starts with the largest font size that fits on the label. When a line of text reaches the edge of a label it scales downward until you press ENTER or the minimum font size is reached. When working with autosize and multiple lines of text, all lines on a label maintain the same size. Autosize is the default setting for all labels and is displayed as an A in the upper left corner of the screen. 4. Press ENTER after selecting or inputting the size. Font Attributes Font attributes (bold, italic, underline, expanded, or condensed) can be applied to an entire line of text or to individual characters within a line of text. The attributes can be turned on before entering the text or after the text has already been entered. Standard Expanded Condensed New Text To turn an attribute on before entering the text:

1. Position the cursor where the attribute should take affect. 2. Press FONT. 3. Select the desired attribute, then select ON (bold, italics, and underline) or the percentage of expanded or condensed text. 4. Enter the text to be affected by the attribute. 5. If you want to continue typing without the attribute, press FONT again and turn the attribute off. For expanded or condensed text, change the percentage to 100% to return to normal. When applying the attribute to text as it is being typed, the attribute stays on until it is turned off or until you move to a new area or label. M610 Label Printer User Manual 34 Editing Labels on the Printer Formatting Text Existing Text To apply an attribute to previously entered text:

1. Select the text to which you want to apply the attribute. Hold SHIFT while moving the cursor with the navigation keys across the characters to which the attribute will be applied.

M610 Label Printer User Manual 35 Editing Labels on the Printer Labels and Areas Labels and Areas Multiple labels can be created in one label file, with each new label being inserted immediately after the current label. Areas are used to apply different formatting (such as justification, rotation, and frames) to different parts of a single label. Areas can only be added when using a continuous label supply set to auto length mode (see Label Length on page 36). However, area formatting can be applied to pre-sized labels that have pre-defined areas. Note: You cannot set a fixed length of an area on a label that has multiple areas. The size of the area is based on the amount of data entered and the font size of that data. Add Label or Area To add a label to a label file:

1. Press LABEL. 2. Choose Add. The new label is inserted immediately after the current label and its number is reflected in the upper right corner of the screen. Each label added will be of the same label type. If the existing label had multiple areas, the added label has the same number of areas and the font size from the first line of data in each area is retained. To add an area to a single label:

1. Press FN and AREA. 2. Choose Add. A new area is inserted immediately after the current area and its number is reflected in the upper right corner of the screen. The font size used on the first line of the previous area carries over to the new area. Only the current area displays on the editing screen. Use the print preview to view the entire label. See Preview on page 28. To navigate between areas, see Go to Label or Area on page 37 Note: Area can only be used on continuous label supply. Label Length Auto length is the default for continuous label supplies. With the length set to Auto, the label will be as long as it needs to be to accommodate the entered data, up to a maximum of 40 inches. You can, however, set a fixed length for a label. A different length can be set for each label in a file. Note: To change the unit of measure for the length see Units of Measure on page 8 for more information. To change the length of the label:

Justification Justification refers to the alignment of data between boundaries (margins) on a label or in an area. There are two types of justification: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal justification (H. Justify) aligns data between the left and right boundaries of a label or area, while Vertical justification (V. Justify) aligns data between the top and bottom boundaries of a label or area. Justification is applied to an area or a label. It cannot be applied line-by-line. Left Center Right Top Middle Bottom Horizontal Justification Vertical Justification To apply justification:

1. Navigate to the label or area where justification is to be applied. See Go to Label or Area on page 37. 2. Open the label or area menu: press LABEL, or FN + AREA. 3. Choose H. Justify or V. Justify. 4. Choose the horizontal or vertical justification desired. M610 Label Printer User Manual 38 Editing Labels on the Printer Labels and Areas Every line of data on the label or in an area is justified according to the option selected. When adding a new label, the justification maintains the current justification settings until it is changed. Different justification can be applied to individual labels in a multi-label file or different areas on one label. Rotation Rotation flips the data on a label or in an area, counter-clockwise, at 90 increments. Rotation affects all data on a label or in an area. Note: If rotation is applied individually to areas, you cannot apply rotation to the entire label. Data cannot be rotated on a line-by-line basis. When adding a new area or label, the rotation is the same as the previous area or label. To rotate data:

1. Navigate to the label or area where rotation will take affect. See Go to Label or Area on page 37. 2. Open the label or area menu: press LABEL or FN + AREA. 3. Choose Rotate and select the degree of rotation. If the font size is set to Auto, rotated data is automatically sized to accommodate the new label orientation. However, if using a fixed font size, the rotated data may not fit on the label. If this occurs, an error message displays indicating rotated text will not fit. The Rotate function is canceled and data is not rotated. Rotation is not reflected on the editing screen, although the degree of rotation is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. To view the actual rotation use Preview on page 28. Note: The printer automatically sets the rotation based on the installed label supply. If you install a different label supply the rotation will automatically revert to the default setting for that label supply type. Frame A frame (border) can be added to an area or a label, but not to a line of text. You can have a different frame, or no frame, on individual labels in a multi-label file. You can also place a frame on a label that contains area frames. Note: Frames can only be placed on continuous labels, not pre-sized labels. To add a frame:

1. Navigate to the label or area where you want to place a frame. See Go to Label or Area on page 37. 2. Open the label or area menu: press LABEL or FN + AREA. M610 Label Printer User Manual 39 Editing Labels on the Printer Labels and Areas Reverse The Reverse function switches the foreground and background colors of data on a label, based on the color of ribbon and label supply installed. For instance, black lettering on a yellow background, if reversed, would print yellow lettering on a black background. You can apply reverse formatting to areas or labels. When adding another area or label, the reverse function status carries over. Note: This feature is only available when continuous supply is installed in the printer. Reverse cannot be applied to pre-sized label supply. To apply or remove Reverse formatting to a label or area:

1. Open the label or area menu: press LABEL or FN + AREA. 2. Navigate to Reverse and choose either On or Off. Vertical Text In vertical text, each character drops down a line below the preceding character. Example: The word WIRE as vertical text displays as such:

Select Graphics, then choose the graphic and press ENTER. Graphic files (.bmp) are stored on the printer in a specific folder used by the Graphics function. This folder is unavailable to the user and therefore, when importing a graphic, the destination screen does not display. Unlike symbols, imported graphics are not categorized. However, the most recently used graphic displays first in the window. For a more comprehensive discussion of importing files, refer to Using Files from an External Source on page 70. Add a Graphic To add a personal graphic to your label:

1. Position the cursor at the point where you want the graphic to display. 2. Press FN and GRAPHICS to view the graphics saved to the printer. The graphics grid displays the most recently used graphic first. 3. Select the desired graphic and press ENTER. Note: The graphic displays at the same size as the font. M610 Label Printer User Manual 43 Editing Labels on the Printer Date and Time Date and Time The printer inserts the current date or time using the current system clock value at the time of printing and the date and time format defined in the Setup function. (For more information, see Date and Time on page 9.) To insert the current date or time on each label:

1. Position the cursor at the point on the label where you want the date or time to be inserted. 2. Press FN + DATE or TIME. The date or time displays the format on the editing screen (for example, mm/dd/yy or HH:MM). To view the actual date or time, use print preview (see Preview on page 28). International Character Sets The M610 Label Printer printer contains hundreds of internationally recognized characters, complete with diacritical marks. To add an international character to your label:

1. Position the cursor at the point where you want the international character to be placed. SETUP 2. Press the International key to open the list of characters. 3. Scroll through the list until the desired character is found or press the letter on the keyboard to jump to that section of the alphabet. 4. Drag the scroll bar on the screen to scroll through the character list. 5. Navigate to the character and press ENTER. The character displays with the same font size that is currently in use. Barcode Barcodes are generated following industry standard symbology. A typical barcode is composed of vertical lines (bars) and spaces of varying thickness, depending on the text entered. It can also include human readable text. Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode. Because you cannot read bars and spaces, you can have the actual text that makes up the barcode display. Barcode elements support vertical resizing (height) only. The width of the barcode is based on data and symbology and cannot be changed. However, some barcode widths (depending on symbology used) can be altered by changing the ratio and width of the bar code. Barcode data can be displayed in the same line as other data (text or symbols). It is not necessary to have a separate area for the barcode. Barcode data on the same line as text will not overwrite the text already on the line but will be placed next to it. Any text in the same line as the barcode will align on the baseline with the barcode. M610 Label Printer User Manual 44 Editing Labels on the Printer Barcode Barcode Settings Before entering a barcode, determine the barcode symbology and attributes to use. Not all attributes are applicable to all barcode symbology types so they will either be grayed out or not shown. Note: Additional barcode types are supported in Brady Workstation software and the Brady Express Labels app. To access the barcode settings:

1. Press LABEL. 2. Navigate to and select Barcode. (For navigation help see Menus on page 21.) 3. Input the desired settings. For information on how to use the screen, see Settings Screens on page 22. Symbology: The printer supports these barcode symbology types:

UPC-A UPC-E EAN 8 EAN 13 Code 39 Code 128 Interleaved 2 of 5 Data Matrix QR Code Height (or Max. Height): The height of a barcode can vary. For most symbologies you can specify an exact height with a minimum of 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). For symbologies that are composed of tiny squares, such as Datamatrix, the maximum height is specified. Bar Width: This changes the thickness of the bars and spaces within the barcode, which in turn lengthens or shortens the barcode. Set the width, in pixels (dots), of the narrowest bar of a barcode. (Not available for some symbologies such as QR and Datamatrix.) Ratio: The ratio of a barcode is the relationship of narrow elements to wide elements, where elements are the bars and spaces. Human Readable: Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode. Because you cannot read bars and spaces, you can display the actual text that makes up the barcode. Human Readable text can be placed above or below the barcode symbology, or you can choose to not display it. If you choose to display the human readable text, a field for the text size becomes available. Choose a size for the human readable barcode text. Check Digit: A check digit is used for error detection in a barcode. It consists of a single digit computed from the other digits in the barcode. A check mark in the Check Digit box turns the function on. 4. When finished, press ENTER. M610 Label Printer User Manual 45 Label Types Vial In Backbone serialization, the left-most area on each strip prints with two numbers. The first number is left-justified; the second number is right-justified. All other areas print with one right-justified number. 2 Pair: None 2 Pair: Horizontal 2 Pair: Backbone 5. 6. In the Start Value field (except when None is selected in the Sequence Type field), enter the first number of the sequence. In the # of Strips field, enter the number of strips (labels) to be created in the block configuration chosen. Note: If serializing the data, additional strips will continue the serialization from the last number of the previous strip. Example: When requesting two strips of a 2-pair horizontal configuration, the first strip will contain values 1-24, the second strip will contain numbers 25-48. 7. When finished, navigate to OK and press ENTER. Vial The Vial label type can be used with any label supply except self-laminating or Permasleeve. If either of these two types of label supply is installed, the Vial label type does not display. The Vial label type fixes the length of the label based on the vial size selected and formats the data horizontally or vertically. To create a vial label:

1. Press LABEL TYPE. 2. Select Vial, then select the vial size. The vial size determines the size of the label unless you select Auto, in which case the label size automatically adjusts to the contents. 3. Enter the data to display on the vial label. M610 Label Printer User Manual 63 Label Types Breaker Box Breaker Box Breakers are usually arranged in two columns or along one row, depending on geographic regions. The breaker positions are numbered left-to-right or top-to-bottom, depending on label orientation. This numbering system is universal across various competing manufacturers of breaker panels. To create breaker box labels:

1. Press LABEL TYPE. 2. Select Breaker Box. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. In the Spacing field, enter the width of a standard breaker. In the Number of Breakers field, enter the number of breakers to be labeled. This produces one continuous strip, separated by the Spacing width vertically aligned for US breaker boxes or horizontally aligned for EU breaker boxes. If the breakers contain different pole counts, place a check mark in the option box for Variable Pole Count. The printer uses the pole count to calculate the distance between breakers to ensure accurate spacing. A single-pole breaker takes up only one space in the electrical panel, while a double-

pole takes up two. In the Separator list, select None, Line, Tic, or All Borders to mark the division between labels. In the Orientation list, select either Vertical or Horizontal. Line Separator, Vertical Orientation Tic Separator, Horizontal Orientation 8. When finished, navigate to OK and press ENTER. If Variable Pole Count is selected, the breaker box pole count screen displays. The number of poles for each breaker defaults to 1. 9. For each breaker, enter the number of poles. 10.

Each breaker is consigned to a single label, the number of labels designated by the number of breakers defined. The number of labels in the upper right portion of the screen. Use the NEXT LABEL and FN + PREV LABEL keys to move to the different labels. 12. Press FN + PREVIEW to view the labels before printing. M610 Label Printer User Manual 65 6 File Management A single label or a number of labels can be saved as a file, to be opened and reused at a later date. The following are guidelines when creating a label file:

Labels using continuous and pre-sized label supplies cannot be combined in the same label file. All labels in a label file must use the same label part number. Serialized labels can be combined in a file with other non-serialized labels. Saving Labels You can save labels as internal or external files. Internal files are labels stored directly on the printer. External files are labels stored on some external device, such as a USB drive. File Naming Standards To create a file on the M610 Label Printer printer, the file must be given a name. Names can be up to 20 characters long and can consist of letters, numbers, but not spaces. When creating files, remember this rule: You cannot have two files with the same name. If you do, the most recent file with the name will overwrite the previous file with that name. A one-character difference in the name creates a different file and will not overwrite a previous file. Folders To better organize your data, place similar label files into folders. Similar files could consist of all labels for a specific project, or all files that use the same label supply, or specific label applications. Instructions on creating or selecting a folder are within the instructions for saving a file below. Saving a File To save labels as a file:

1. Press FN + FILE. 2. Select Save. The memory location dialog box displays ONLY if an external source is attached to the printer. 3.

The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with FCC limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. 15.212(a)(1)(i) Requirement Met

- YES - NO(*) The module contains a metal shield which covers all RF components and circuitry. The shield is located on the top of the board next to antenna connector 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with FCC requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. 15.212(a)(1)(ii)

- YES - NO(*) Data to the modulation circuit is buffered as described in the operational description provided with the application 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation on the module. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with FCC requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. 15.212(a)(1)(iii)

- YES - NO(*) The module contains its own power supply regulation. Please refer to schematic filed with this application 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of 15.203, 15.204(b), 15.204(c), 15.212(a), and 2.929(b). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). The professional installation provision of 15.203 is not applicable to modules but can apply to limited modular approvals under paragraph 15.212(b). 15.212(a)(1)(iv)

- YES - NO(*) The module connects to chip antenna via trace (solder) 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). 15.212(a)(1)(v) The module was tested stand-alone as shown in test setup photographs filed with this application

- YES - NO(*) Modular Approval Requirement 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, or use an electron display

(see KDB Publication 784748). Requirement Met

- YES - NO(*) 070920-02b Brady Corporation \ Brady Worldwide, Inc 6555 W. Good Hope Rd Milwaukee, WI 53223 USA If using a permanently affixed label with its own FCC ID number, 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: XYZMODEL1 or Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. If the modular transmitter uses an electronic display of the FCC identification number, the information must be readily accessible and visible on the modular transmitter or on the device in which it is installed. If the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains FCC certified transmitter module(s). Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The user manual must include instructions on how to access the electronic display. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. 15.212(a)(1)(vi) There is a label on the module as shown in the labeling exhibit filed with this application. Host specific labeling instructions are shown in the Operational Description with this application. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with all specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter, including all the conditions provided in the integration instructions by the grantee. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. 15.212(a)(1)(vii)

- YES - NO(*) The module complies with FCC Part 15C requirements. Instructions to the OEM installer are provided in the installation manual filed with this application. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance. 15.212(a)(1)(viii)

- YES - NO(*) The module meets Portable exclusion levels as shown in the RF exposure information filed with this application>

Brady Corporation \ Brady Worldwide, Inc 6555 W. Good Hope Rd Milwaukee, WI 53223 USA Request for Modular/Limited Modular Approval Date: July 8, 2022 Subject: Manufacturers Declaration for - Modular Approval Confidentiality Request for: NUC-STM32WB5M

- Limited Modular Approval - Limited Split Modular Approval

- Split Modular Approval 8 Basic Requirements FCC Part 15.212(a)(1) For Items Marked NO(*), the Limited Module Description Must be Filled Out on the Following Pages Modular Approval Requirement 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with FCC limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. 15.212(a)(1)(i) Details: <example The module contains a metal shield which covers all RF components and circuitry. The shield is located on the top of the board next to antenna connector>

- YES - NO(*) Requirement Met 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with FCC requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. 15.212(a)(1)(ii) Details: <example Data to the modulation circuit is buffered as described in the operational description provided with the application>

- YES - NO(*) 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation on the module. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with FCC requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. 15.212(a)(1)(iii) Details: <example The module contains its own power supply regulation. Please refer to schematic filed with this application>

- YES - NO(*) 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of 15.203, 15.204(b), 15.204(c), 15.212(a), and 2.929(b). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). The professional installation provision of 15.203 is not applicable to modules but can apply to limited modular approvals under paragraph 15.212(b). 15.212(a)(1)(iv) Details: <example The module connects to its antenna using an UFL connector which is considered a non-standard connector. A list of antennas tested and approved with this device may be found in users manual provided with the application>

- YES - NO(*) 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). 15.212(a)(1)(v) Details: <example The module was tested stand-alone as shown in test setup photographs filed with this application>

- YES - NO(*) 070920-02b Brady Corporation \ Brady Worldwide, Inc 6555 W. Good Hope Rd Milwaukee, WI 53223 USA Modular Approval Requirement 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, or use an electron display Requirement Met

(see KDB Publication 784748). If using a permanently affixed label with its own FCC ID number, 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: XYZMODEL1 or Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. If the modular transmitter uses an electronic display of the FCC identification number, the information must be readily accessible and visible on the modular transmitter or on the device in which it is installed. If the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains FCC certified transmitter module(s). Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The user manual must include instructions on how to access the electronic display. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. 15.212(a)(1)(vi) Details: <example There is a label on the module as shown in the labeling exhibit filed with this application. Host specific labeling instructions are shown in the installation manual .filed with this application.>

- YES - NO(*) 7. The modular transmitter must comply with all specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter, including all the conditions provided in the integration instructions by the grantee. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. 15.212(a)(1)(vii) Details: <example The module complies with FCC Part 15C requirements. Instructions to the OEM installer are provided in the installation manual filed with this application.>

- YES - NO(*) 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance. 15.212(a)(1)(viii) Details: <example The module meets Portable exclusion levels as shown in the RF exposure information filed with this application.>
