nfc-controller-with-integrated-firmware-for-smart-devices:PN7150 Regulatory Information FCC Notices (United States of America) This device using the integrated antenna has been tested to comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules. The device meets the requirements for modular transmitter approval as detailed 47 CFR 15.212. It has been assigned the FCC ID 2ASQK-EA00351. 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 to this device not expressly approved by LabStrong Corp. could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 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:
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-
- 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. 5 LT0035-1 rev1 The FCC requires the OEM to be notified that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by LabStrong may void the users authority to operate the equipment. While an application of the EA00351 NFC Controller in a product is not required to obtain a new FCC authorization for the module, this does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing may be required for that end product. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that FCC labeling requirements are met. The EA00351 NFC Controller module is labeled with its own FCC ID and IC Certification Number. The FCC ID and IC certification numbers are not visible when the module is installed inside another device. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: Contains FCC ID: 2ASQK-
EA00351 and Contains IC: 24977- EA00351. The EA00351 NFC Controller module has been certified with its own integrated antenna and must not be used with any other antenna. IC Notices (Canada) This device using the integrated antenna has been tested to comply with the regulatory requirements of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (ISED) Canada. It has been assigned the IC ID 24977- EA00351. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur del'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage estsusceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. 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 nterference toother users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformment la rglementation d'Industrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour l'metteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage radiolectrique l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas l'intensit ncessaire l'tablissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
