FCCStatement:

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

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 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

FCC 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 20 cm between the radiator & your body.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is responsible for the compliance to all the rules that

apply to the product into which this certified RF module is integrated.

Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.

20 cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the host this module is

integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an

population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:

In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20 cm separation with the

antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC

radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

If the labelling area is small than the palm of the hand, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required to be

available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of 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.

LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:

The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID: HEDML60PRS4601 ".

If the labelling area is larger than the palm of the hand, then the following FCC part 15.19 statement has to also be

available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of 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 Module may not be integrated into host devices that are addressed for operation inside airplanes/satellites.

ICStatement:

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause interference; and

(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

IC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This

equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body.

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is responsible for the compliance to all the rules that

apply to the product into which this certified RF module is integrated.

Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.

20 cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the host this module is

integrated into. Under such configuration, the IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an

population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate

this equipment.

USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:

In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20 cm separation with the

antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the IC radio-frequency

exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. 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.

LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:

The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains IC: 3857A-ML60PRS4601 ".

The Host Model Number (HMN) must be indicated at any location on the exterior of the end product or product

packaging or product literature which shall be available with the end product or online.
