Regulatory Information USA Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could oid the use’s authoity to opeate the euipet. 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 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. RF exposure safety The X4M05 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission. Labelling Requirements for the Host Device The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device. The certification label of the module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labelled to display the FCC ID of the module, preceded by the words "Contains transmitter module", or the word "Contains", or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows: Contains FCC ID: 2AD9QX4M05 UWB devices may not be employed for the operation of toys. Operation onboard an aircraft, a ship or a satellite is prohibited.

RF exposure safety The X4M05 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the ISED. Le X4M05 est un émetteur et un récepteur radio. Il est conçu pour ne pas dépasser les limites d'émission pour l'exposition à l'énergie radiofréquence (RF) établie par l'ISDE. Labelling Requirements for the Host Device The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device. The certification label of the module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labelled to display the IC of the module, preceded by the words "Contains transmitter module", or the word "Contains", or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows: Contains IC: 22782-X4M05Le’éuipeet hôte doit être correctement étiqueté pour identifier les modules dansl’éuipeet. L'étiquette de certification du module doit être clairement visible en tout temps lorsqu'il est installé dans l'hôte, l’éuipeet hôte doit être étiqueté pour afficher l'IC du module, précédé des mots "Contient le module émetteur", ou le mot "Contient", ou un libellé similaire exprimant la même signification, comme suit: Contains IC: 22782-X4M05CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B)
