Regulatory Compliance Statements

COMPLIANCE INFORMATION STATEMENT
Product Name: RICOH THETA X Model: R04010 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Responsible party: RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION Address: 2 Gatehall Drive Suite 204, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054, U.S.A. Phone: 800-877-0155 Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class B 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.

FCC Part 15 Subpart C, FCC Part 15 Subpart E
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientiﬁc evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such ﬁndings have not been conﬁrmed by additional research. R04010 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and ﬁnally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. Frequency tolerance (2.4 GHz band): 25 ppm Frequency tolerance (5 GHz band): 20 ppm Lithium-ion batteries are recyclable. You can help preserve our environment by returning your used rechargeable batteries to the collection and recycling location nearest you.
