Operation
The Carambola Wi-Fi module is a high power wireless module board designed to be integrated into
indoor and outdoor wireless systems. Please follow the following instruction while using this module. This
module is meant to be operated (and used) by system integrators who are aware of the regulatory
requirements in the area it is being used. The following instructions need to be followed while using the
module:
• Before inserting the module in a host board, please power down the host board first.
• The antenna port (u.fl connector) should be connected to the appropriate load or antenna before
powering up the host board. Lack of Antenna (or load) while the module is powered up may cause
damage to the card.
• Please make sure any person handling the card with bare hands follows proper ESD precautions.
Improper handling could cause ESD damage.
• The card should not be tampered or modified in any way. Tampering or modification could cause the
module to fail standard tests.
Note: This card is designed to be installed, operated, and used by system integrators and/or professional
installers. As such, the product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorization
regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module. The OEM is
responsible for demonstration of compliance to regulations for non-transmitter components within the host
product to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15B), such as digital devices and to additional
authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions of the transmitter module (i.e., Verification, or
Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., Bluetooth and WiFi transmitter modules).
