Original texts as following:
For Class B
Note : 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.
For Class A
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
ISED compliance statement
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.
ISED Radiation Exposure statement
This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
Please notice that if the IC identification number 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 IC: 31395-AB6031X44PE” any similar wording that expresses the same
meaning may be used.
This radio transmitter [IC: 31395-AB6031X44PE] 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.
