1. INTRODUCTION
The RM433V2 radio module is a compact easy to use module to add Omni-ID proprietary RF functionality to any device. The
module is targeted at development partners who need to add RF functionality to a device that will be used as part of an Omni-
ID Proview system. The RM433V2 removes the need for expensive and lengthy development of custom RF board designs
requiring expensive agency certifications.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
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 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.
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.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.

INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENT
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.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
INDUSTRY CANADA END PRODUCT LABELLING
For end devices that will be sold or used in Canada the following text should appear on the product label.
“Contains Industry Canada ID IC: 10336A-RM433V2”
