FCC COMPLIANT STATEMENT
The following statement applies to BU2400 in this kit:
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.
This device has been designed, constructed, and tested for compliance with
FCC Rules that regulate intentional and unintentional radiators. The user is not
permitted to make any modifications to this equipment without express approval
from Crossbow Technology Inc. Doing so will void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
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.
“This device has been designed to operate with the antenna which is provided,
and having a maximum gain of 2.0 dBi. Using Antennas which have a gain
greater than 2.0 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required
antenna impedance is 50 ohms.”
“To reduce potential radio interference to other 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 permitted for successful communication.”
The following statement applies to Micaz (MPR2400) which is the radio
board of SN24040:
FCC Certification for the MICAz
The MICAz Mote is classified by the FCC as both a Class A and a Class B
digital device. As such this section describes how to operate the equipment so
that it does not cause unintended RF interference.
Class A & B Digital Device Compliance
This equipment has been tested by the FCC 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. There is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a commercial environment. However, operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. If this is the case the
user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or locate 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.
If these measures do not correct for RF interference, the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
WARNING: Any modifications to the unit, unless expressly approved by
CrossbowTechnology, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the MICAz
Mote (also referred to as“equipment” in this Section).
