Modular approval

IC: 8976C-SPSGRF

In accordance with IC RSS-210, the SPSGRF-915 is listed as a modular transmitter device.

This module is evaluated for stand-alone use only. Finished products incorporating multiple

transmitters must comply with collocation and RF exposure requirements in accordance

with IC multi-transmitter product procedures. Collocated transmitters operating in portable

RF exposure conditions (e.g. <20 cm from persons including but not limited to body worn

and hand-held devices) may require separate approval.

Labeling instructions

When integrating the SPSGRF-915 into the final product, the OEM must ensure that the IC

labeling requirements are satisfied. A statement must be included on the exterior of the final

product which indicates that the product includes a certified module. The label should state

the following (or similar wording that conveys the same meaning):

The OEM must include the following statements on the exterior of the final product unless

the product is too small (e.g. less than 4 x 4 inches):

“This device complies with RSS-210 of the IC Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

In the case where an OEM seeks Class B (residential) limits for the final product, the

following statement must be included in the final product manual:

“Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to RSS-210 of the IC 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
