RN4678
9.0 REGULATORY APPROVAL
This section outlines the regulatory information for the
RN4678 module for the following countries:
• United States
• Canada
• Europe
• Japan
•Korea
•Taiwan
• Other Regulatory Jurisdictions
9.1 United States
The RN4678 module has received Federal Communi-
cations Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommunica-
tions, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional Radiators” single-
modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Mod
-
ular Transmitter approval. Single-modular transmitter
approval is defined as a complete RF transmission
sub-assembly, designed to be incorporated into
another device, that must demonstrate compliance
with FCC rules and policies independent of any host. A
transmitter with a modular grant can be installed in dif
-
ferent end-use products (referred to as a host, host
product, or host device) by the grantee or other equip
-
ment manufacturer, then the host product may not
require additional testing or equipment authorization
for the transmitter function provided by that specific
module or limited module device.
The user must comply with all of the instructions pro-
vided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or
operating conditions necessary for compliance.
A host product itself is required to comply with all other
applicable FCC equipment authorization regulations,
requirements, and equipment functions that are not
associated with the transmitter module portion. For
example, compliance must be demonstrated: to regula
-
tions for other transmitter components within a host
product; to requirements for unintentional radiators
(Part 15 Subpart B), such as digital devices, computer
peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional
authorization requirements for the non-transmitter
functions on the transmitter module (i.e., Verification or
Declaration of Conformity) as appropriate (e.g., Blue
-
tooth and Wi-Fi transmitter modules may also contain
digital logic functions).
9.1.1 LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The RN4678 module has been labeled with its own
FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when
the module is installed inside another device, then the
outside of the finished product into which the module is
installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording
as follows:
A user’s manual for the product should include the fol-
lowing statement:
Additional information on labeling and user information
requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB

Contains FCC ID: A8TBM78ABCDEFGH
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.
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 equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency 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 follow
-
ing 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 con
-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
