I don't know the "chapter and verse", but such things as "wireless mics"
are not defined as "transmitters" provided they fall in certain limits
as to antenna size, power etc. Basically you can send just about anything
provided you don't modify the RF section or add a longer antenna etc.

You might look at the FCC regs, the part no. is listed on any of the
"non-radiating" devices. DON'T expect a coherant/consistent ruling from
the FCC, they are not noted for good responses to such "minor" questions.
