This development device contains RF/digital hardware and software intended for
            engineering development, engineering evaluation, or demonstration purposes only and is
            intended for use in a controlled environment. This device is not being placed on the
            market, leased or sold for use in a residential environment or for use by the general
            public as an end user device.

This development device is not intended to meet the requirements of a commercially
            available consumer device including those requirements specified in the European Union
            directives applicable for Radio devices being placed on the market, FCC equipment
            authorization rules or other regulations pertaining to consumer devices being placed on
            the market for use by the general public.

The device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm)
            between radiating antennas and bystanders. Additional RF exposure information can be
            found on the FCC website at [http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/radio-frequency-safety](http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/radio-frequency-safety).

**FCC NOTICE: This kit is designed to allow:**

(1) Product developers to evaluate electronic components, circuitry, or software
            associated with the kit to determine whether to incorporate such items in a finished
            product and

(2) Software developers to write software applications for use with the end product. This
            kit is not a finished product and when assembled may not be resold or otherwise marketed
            unless all required FCC equipment authorizations are first obtained. Operation is
            subject to the condition that this product not cause harmful interference to licensed
            radio stations and that this product accept harmful interference. Unless the assembled
            kit is designed to operate under Part 15, Part 18, or Part 95 of the U.S. Federal
            Communications Commission (FCC) rules in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations
            (CFR), the operator of the kit must operate under the authority of an FCC license holder
            or must secure an experimental authorization under Part 5 of the FCC’s rules.

If the kit is modified through the addition of external RF components such as high gain
            antennas then the owner must ensure operation with existing rules.
