Run CyberBrick client, switch to Device Management

Click [+] to find your device

Connect the device by entering the PIN code. If the PIN hasn’t been set during the first connection, confirm directly.

After a successful connection, the indicator of the controller core lights blue, and the client displays this device.

Click on the expansion symbol in the upper right corner of the device. If you have connected multiple devices, click on Recognize, and the status indicator of the selected device will flash green; if you need to disconnect from the selected device, click on Disconnect.

Click on the device, and you can change the name of the device in the upper right corner to make it easier to identify it when there are multiple devices.

If you need to change the PIN code of the device, you can click Modify in the lower right corner and enter the new PIN code.

Configure the core controller profile

Click on the Configuration, click on Create Configuration, and start with a template, or an empty configuration[Custom].

Here we take the custom empty configuration as an example, click on Custom, and then click on Edit in the configuration list below.

After entering the configuration interface, first, click Add Receiver on the left side, and input the name of the receiver.

Click on the hardware connection above and drag the receiver device and controller device to the corresponding position.

Click to start pairing. After pairing successfully, the status indicators of these devices should flash blue and yellow alternately.

After modifying the configuration, remember to save the configuration locally with Save Config in the upper right corner, and update the configuration to the device with Send Config.

List of applicable FCC rules
FCC Part 15.247

Label and compliance information
FCC ID label on the final system must be labeled with “Contains FCC ID: 2A6J8-COREA11” or “Contains transmitter module FCC ID: 2A6J8-COREA11”.

Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Contact Shenzhen Tuozhu Technology Co., Ltd. will provide a stand-alone modular transmitter test mode. Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used in a host.

Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter-certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that, after the module is installed and operational, the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated with the host, Shenzhen Tuozhu Technology Co., Ltd. shall provide guidance to the host manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements.

FCC Warning
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.

NOTE 1: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

Note 1: This module is certified to comply with the RF exposure requirement under mobile or fixed conditions; this module is to be installed only in mobile or fixed applications.

A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in locations other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitting devices designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily relocated, such as wireless devices associated with a personal computer, are considered to be mobile devices if they meet the 20-centimeter separation requirement.

A fixed device is defined as a device that is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location.

Note 2: Any modifications made to the module will void the Grant of Certification. This module is limited to OEM installation only and must not be sold to end-users; end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device, only software or operating procedure shall be placed in the end-user operating manual of final products.

Note 3: The module may be operated only with the antenna with which it is authorized. Any antenna that is of the same type and of equal or less directional gain as an antenna that is authorized with the intentional radiator may be marketed with, and used with, that intentional radiator.

Note 4: For all products marketed in the US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for the 2.4G band by supplying a firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change.

IC WARNING
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(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.

IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except by IC multi-transmitter product procedures. Referring to the multi-transmitter policy, multiple-transmitter(s) and modules (s) can be operated simultaneously without reassessment permissive change.

This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This module is limited to OEM installation only and must not be sold to end-users; end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device, only software or operating procedures shall be placed in the end-user operating manual of final products. Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains IC: 28436-COREA11 “.
