FCC Information
NOTE: 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.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The FCC has established criteria for the
amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce depending on their intended
usage. This product has been evaluated and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria.
For body worn operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with the
accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device. This device must not be co-
located with other transmitters.

Regulatory Approval
The VDBTLE24 module has received regulatory approvals for modular devices
in the United States. Modular approval allows the end user to place the module
inside a finished product and not require regulatory testing for an intentional
radiator (RF transmitter), provided no changes or modifications are made to
the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the
instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or
operating conditions necessary for compliance. The integrator may still be
responsible for testing the end product for any additional compliance
requirements required with this module.
The VDBTLE24 module has been labeled with its own FCC ID number, and if the
FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then
the outside of the finished product into which the module is installed must also
display a label referring to the enclosed module. An example of the label is as
follows:
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AB7YVDBTLE24
-or-
Contains FCC ID: 2AB7YVDBTLE24
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.
