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 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. To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits for general population /

uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 35mm from all persons and must not be operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. If the module is used in a multi-transmitter or simultaneous transmission host then the module must be evaluated and approved to one of the host platform exposure conditions. (Mobile exposure, Portable exposure or Mixed Mobile and Portable exposure). Industry Canada:

To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits for general population /

uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 35mm from all persons and operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. If the module is used in a multi-transmitter or simultaneous transmission host then the module must be evaluated and approved to one of the host platform exposure conditions. (Mobile exposure, Portable exposure or Mixed Mobile and Portable exposure). However, the OEM Intergator 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 NOTE: In the event that this condition 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.

InternalPhotosAntenna1and2 February 24, 2015 Re: Internal Photos of the 940-0132 Module FCC ID: 2AGQP-F5500 IC: 20936-F5500 To Whom It May Concern, Rain Bird Corporation does not have internal photos of the 940-0132 Module, as the modules are manufactured using a SIP (System In Package) process. This process results in the final modules being encapsulated in the packaging material during time of manufacture. Based on this we are unable to provide pictures of the module without the cover.

Re: Modular Transmitter Approval FCC ID: 2AGQP-F5500 To Whom It May Concern, The following information is being provided per the requirements of 15.212 regarding modular approval of Part 15 devices. This transceiver is a complete RF module with an integral reference oscillator. External connections are provided for power and data communication. The following numbered items correspond to similarly numbered paragraphs in 15.212. Each item is a response to the requirements of that document. 1) The module has integral RF shielding to isolate it from surrounding equipment and the larger environment in general. 2) All inputs are buffered processed as data by the on-board microcontroller. The outside user has no direct control of transmit modulation. 3) The module has an onboard AC-DC voltage regulator that supplies a 3.13VDC to 3.46VDC output over all operating line, load, and temperature conditions. The output power and frequency is relatively invariant to this supply voltage. This is implemented by discrete and integrated voltage regulators, as well as integrated bias stabilization networks and power control loops. 4) An antenna used with this module. This is in accordance with Part 5.203. 5) The module was tested in a stand-alone configuration and found to be compliant with Part 15 regulations. 6) An FCC ID label is affixed to each unit at the time of manufacture. Information is also clearly presented in the user guide about labeling requirements for the final assembly. 7) This unit is compliant with Part 15.247. Installation and other requirements are presented in the user guide to allow the unit to be correctly installed. 8) The unit is compliant with the RF exposure requirements of Parts 15.247 and 2.1091. Further information may be obtained from Rain Bird Corp. Sincerely, Anderson Micu 9491 Ridgehaven Court 6991 E.
