Regulatory Compliance: FCC Part 15.247
FCC Part 15, Class B Device
FCC Compliance
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 unwanted 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 safety measures.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/modem technician for help.
THIS BADGE MEETS THE FCC REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
ENERGY (SAR).
Your wireless badge 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. These limits are part of the
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health. The exposure standard for wireless communications devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions, as applicable to this
device, specified by the FCC. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations of measurement. Before a
badge is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
USE ONLY APPROVED ACCESORIES
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines when wearing the Vocera badge,
always use a Vocera Communications approved lanyard, pocket clip, universal clip, or holster.
Use of accessories that have not been tested for RF exposure compliance with this product may
not comply with the FCC RF exposure safety guidelines and should not be used.
To ensure RF exposure compliance of the badge when using the lanyard, position and maintain
the call button, the speaker and antenna facing away from the body, as illustrated in the Getting
Started section of the User Guide. The badge and lanyard attachment have been designed
specifically to maintain proper orientation during normal usage. Additionally, the lanyard clip can
be secured to clothing to provide additional stability. Wearing the Vocera Communications badge
with the antenna facing the body may not comply with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should
be avoided.
RF exposure (SAR) tests have been performed on the Vocera Communications badge when
worn correctly and used with the approved accessories. The SAR test results show compliance of
the badge with the FCC exposure requirements. When operated with the appropriate
accessories as instructed in this manual the level of RF exposure is well below the FCC limit of
1.6W/Kg.
