Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Whirlpool
Corporation could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This Device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and 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.
The radio transmitters IC: 10248A-WICHIN01 and 10248A-FLDAIN01
have 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 these devices.

RF Exposure Information
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.
En français: 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 émetteurs radio IC : 10248A-WICHIN01 et 10248A-FLDAIN01 ont
été approuvés 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.
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.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC and
Industry Canada Regulations
The WICHIN01 / FLDAIN01 Modules have 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 WICHIN01 / FLDAIN01 Modules are labeled with 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 or display the following:
“Contains FCC ID: A5UWICHIN01”
“Contains IC: 10248A-WICHIN01”
or
“Contains FCC ID: A5UFLDAIN01”
“Contains IC: 10248A-FLDAIN01”
The OEM of the WICHIN01 / FLDAIN01 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.
