Labeling
The following requirements will be applied to any products that use this module:
The end product or host label will include the following text:
*Contains:
FCC ID: SK9C1A-3B
IC: 864G-C1A3B, Model: C1A3B
*NOTE: Since the module ID numbers are visible from outside the end product the word “CONTAINS” may be
omitted.
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text. If the device is large
enough, then this will also be placed on the label.
“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.”
Regulatory Compliance
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text:
FCC Part 15, 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.
Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Itron,
Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Industry Canada
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations.
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.
Cet appareillage numérique de la classe B répond à la norme Canadienne sur le matériel brouilleur. L'opération est
sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif ne peut pas causer d'interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit
C1A3B Meter Module
accepter n'importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris les interférences pouvant entraîner un fonctionnement
indésirable.
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.
RF Exposure (FCC/Industry Canada)
“This equipment complies with 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. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
“Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux radiations dans un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement
do it être installé et utilisé à distance minimum de 20 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps. Cet émetteur ne doit pas être
co-localisées ou opérant en conjonction avec tout autre antenne ou transmetteur.”
Miscellaneous
