Electromagnetic Interference

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 when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Wildlife Acoustics, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Bluetooth Module Regulatory Compliance

The Bluetooth Low Energy transceiver used in the Song Meter SM5 complies with the international regulations listed here.

Environmental Testing

The Song Meter SM5 was tested to IPX7 standards. This rating means the enclosure can withstand temporary submersion in water up to a depth of one meter without water intrusion.

Tested at operating temperatures of -20 °C to +55 °C. Testing included 24-hour soaks at both extremes plus six cycles for one hour each.

Tested at operating humidity of 95% relative humidity at +40 °C. Testing included one 24-hour soak.
