Connected Appliance Regulatory Notices
Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) Compliance Notice
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to 
operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information
To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure requirements for mobile 
transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or 
installed at locations where there is at least 20 cm separation 
distance between the antenna and all persons.
To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general  
population/uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this 
transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of 
at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or 
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
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,
2.   This device must accept any interference, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may 
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) 
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce 
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and 
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically 
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for 
successful communication.
This radio transmitter IC: 10248A-XPWG3 has been approved by 
Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with 
the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for 
each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, 
having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, 
are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation  
exposure limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for 
this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation 
distance of 20 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) 
and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or 
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent 
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et 
d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par 
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage 
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut 
choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance 
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité 
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
Le présent émetteur radio IC : 10248A-XPWG3 a été approuvé par  
Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés 
ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance  
requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus  
dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué,  
sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
Pour satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et IC d’exposition aux 
radiofréquences, une distance de séparation de 20 cm ou plus 
doit être maintenue entre cet appareil et des personnes lors de 
fonctionnement du dispositif. Pour assurer la conformité des 
opérations au plus près que cette distance n’est pas recommandée. 
L’antenne utilisée pour ce transmetteur ne doit pas être co-localisés 
en conjonction avec toute autre antenne ou transmetteur.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC  
and Industry Canada Regulations
The XPWG3 Module has been certified for integration into 
products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1.   The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum 
separation distance of 20 cm is maintained between the 
radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
2.   The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating  
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter 
testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is 
still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional 
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for 
example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot 
be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another 
transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations 
are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC 
Certification Number cannot be used on the final product.  
In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible 
for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and 
obtaining a separate FCC and Industry Canada authorization.
End Product Labeling
The XPWG3 Module is labeled with its own FCC ID and IC  
Certification Number. If the FCC ID and IC Certification Number are  
not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then  
the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also  
display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final  
end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: A5UXPWG3”
“Contains Transmitter Module IC: 10248A-XPWG3”
or
“Contains FCC ID: A5UXPWG3”
“Contains IC: 10248A-XPWG3”
The OEM of the XPWG3 Module must only use the approved 
antenna(s), which have been certified with this module. The OEM 
integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end 
user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change 
RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
The user manual for the end product must include  
the following information in a prominent location:
“To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation  
exposure limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for 
this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation 
distance of 20 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) 
and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or 
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
