Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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.
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 in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter
or antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
module installed
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for
example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter),
then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can
not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator
will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter)
and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
The product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device
to lower output power if such function is available. The final end product must
be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC
ID:ZQ6-AP6212SD”. The grantee's FCC ID can be used only when all FCC
compliance requirements are met.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the
end product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning
as show in this manual.
Industry Canada statement:
This device complies with ISED’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ ISED applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) le
dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit
accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un
fonctionnement indésirable.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements ISED
établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et
utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre
corps.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: (For
module device use)
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna
and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any
additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions
suivantes: (Pour utilisation de dispositif module)
1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée
entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et
2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou antenne.
Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires sur
l'émetteur ne seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours
responsable des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de conformité
supplémentaires requis pour ce module installé.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization
is no longer considered valid and the IC ID can not be used on the final product. In
these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end
product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Canada authorization.
NOTE IMPORTANTE:
Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines
configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre
émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne
peut pas être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM
sera chargé de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une
autorisation distincte au Canada.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final
end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains
IC: 11956A-AP6212SD ”.
Plaque signalétique du produit final
Ce module émetteur est autorisé uniquement pour une utilisation dans un dispositif où
l'antenne peut être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20cm peut être maintenue
entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs. Le produit final doit être étiqueté dans un endroit
visible avec l'inscription suivante: "Contient des IC: 11956A-AP6212SD ".
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end
product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as
show in this manual.
Manuel d'information à l'utilisateur final
L'intégrateur OEM doit être conscient de ne pas fournir des informations à l'utilisateur
final quant à la façon d'installer ou de supprimer ce module RF dans le manuel de
