These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in a commercial or residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this product in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct the interference at your own expense. 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. 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a non-residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Any changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. THIS “product” MEETS THE FCC REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY (SAR). Your wireless “product” is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of a set of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless communications devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions, as applicable to this device, specified by the FCC. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurement. Before a badge is available for sale to the public, sample units must be tested by a certified regulatory lab to verify that they do not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. USE ONLY APPROVED ACCESSORIES RF exposure (SAR) tests have been performed on the “product” when it is being worn correctly and used with the approved accessories. The SAR test results show that the badge complies with all FCC exposure requirements. When a properly-oriented badge is operated with the appropriate accessories, as directed in the “product User Guide”, the level of RF exposure is well below the FCC limit of 1.6W/Kg. Therefore, to ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines when wearing the “product”, the user should only use “product” approved accessories (e.g., lanyard, pocket clip, etc.). Accessories that have not been tested for RF exposure compliance with this product may not comply with the FCC RF exposure safety guidelines and should not be used. To ensure RF exposure compliance of the “product” when using the lanyard, position and maintain the call button, the speaker, and the antenna facing away from the body, as illustrated in the “Getting Started” section of the “product User Guide”. The badge and lanyard attachment have been designed specifically to maintain proper orientation during normal usage. Additionally, the lanyard clip can be secured to clothing to provide additional stability. Wearing the “product” with the antenna facing the body may result in non-compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and must be avoided. Use only the internal antenna which is part of this product. Any use of unauthorized antennas, any modifications to the supplied antenna, or any use of unauthorized attachments could damage the badge, violate FCC regulations, and void the user’s authority to operate the product. 

The applicable standard for low-power intentional radiators in Canada, for Category I equipment corresponds with FCC Part 15 Subpart C. The two are very closely harmonized in terms of permitted frequencies, types of operation, and other technical requirements, but a separate certification application is required for Canada. Receivers for RSS-210 transmitters also require certification with applicable limits to be found in RSS-210.
