Regulatory Compliance Information ETSI
The use of RF frequencies and maximum allowed RF power is limited by national regulations.
The RC1240 and RC1280 have been designed to comply with the R&TTE directive
1999/5/EC.
According to R&TTE directives, it is the responsibility of Radiocrafts’ customers (i.e. RC12x0
end user) to check that the host product (i.e. final product) is compliant with R&TTE essential
requirements. The use of a CE marked radio module can avoid re-certification of the final
product, provided that the end user respects the recommendations established by
Radiocrafts. A Declaration of Conformity is available from Radiocrafts on request.
The relevant regulations are subject to change. Radiocrafts AS do not take responsibility for
the validity and accuracy of the understanding of the regulations referred above. Radiocrafts
only guarantee that this product meets the specifications in this document. Radiocrafts is
exempt from any responsibilities related to regulatory compliance.
FCC/IC compliance (US, Canada)
The RC1290 device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada (IC) RSS
210 issue 8.
Part number FCC ID IC ID
RC1290 Y2NRC1290 IC 9402A-RC1290
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.
Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions: (1) cet appareil ne doit pas créer
d'interférences nuisibles et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris
les interférences qui peuvent en perturber le fonctionnement.
Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
