REGULATORY NOTICE

FCC Warning

All shields / educational / evaluation kits in this website are intended for use for EVALUATION, DEMONSTRATION, EDUCATIONAL OR ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT ONLY, and are not considered by STEM Applied to be a finished end-product suitable for general customer use.

For shields intended for microcontroller modules such as Arduino MKR1000 WiFi or Espressif ESP32, said modules have been FCC approved for the manufacturer and are labeled with the respective FCC ID. However, together with intended radiation, several submodules generate, use, and can radiate radio frequency energy that has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference.

Although the design of each shield has been performed following regulatory and manufacturers’ recommendations, operation of this equipment in environments other than experimental may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at their own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct such interference.
