Contains transmitter module IC: 12246A-BM78SPPS5M2
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire
de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si
le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. 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 necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec
une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.
The TNC does not contain a user-modifiable antenna – unless you have a soldering iron. Then all bets
are off. You’re an ham radio operator. Go wild.
Europe
The Microchip BM78 radio module inside the TNC3 has been fully tested to comply with EC
requirements for CE marking. These tests include Health, Safety, EMC and Radio. Further testing of
the final product (the TNC3) was conducted to ensure compliance of the integrated product.
The TNC3 is RoHS compliant. Still, I would avoid eating the PCB if I were you.
Japan
Integration of this module into a final product does not require additional radio certification provided
installation instructions are followed and no modifications of the module are allowed.
So, if you are in Japan, you cannot modify the Bluetooth module. You’ve been warned.
