2 Introduction	
  
This	
  document	
  describes	
  mandatory	
  steps	
  required	
  by	
  the	
  OEM	
  integrator	
  when

  any	
  host	
  PC	
  system	
  utilizing	
  this	
  AeroVironment	
  radio	
  module	
  (number	
  68460).	
  
This	
  document	
  lists	
  the	
  mandatory	
  responsibilities	
  and

  of	
  the

Failure	
  to	
  comply	
  with	
  all	
  requirements	
  and	
  conditions	
  in	
  this	
  document	
  may	
  result	
  in	
  non-­‐
compliance	
  of	
  the

  with	
  FCC	
  rules	
  and	
  invalidate	
  the	
  AeroVironment

This	
  guide	
  applies	
  to	
  modules	
  that

  either	
  the	
  Arbiter,

4 Allowed	
  Antennas	
  to	
  be	
  used	
  with	
  the	
  Radio	
  Module	
  
Table	
  1	
  is	
  a	
  list	
  of	
  allowable	
  antennas	
  for	
  use	
  with	
  the	
  specific	
  radio	
  module.	
  	
  
Peak	
  gain	
  including	
  cable	
  losses	
  is	
  quoted	
  in	
  the	
  table.	
  
Use	
  of	
  any	
  antenna	
  in	
  the	
  list	
  (identical	
  or	
  equivalent	
  antenna	
  with	
  lower	
  gain,	
  dimensions	
  and	
  cable	
  
lengths)	
  is	
  acceptable	
  in	
  the	
  host	
  device,	
  without	
  	
  any	
  further	
  FCC	
  testing	
  or	
  submission.	
  
However,	
  use	
  of	
  an	
  antenna	
  that	
  is	
  higher	
  gain	
  than	
  those	
  on	
  the	
  list	
  or	
  is	
  a	
  Different	
  Type,	
  requires	
  
additional	
  testing	
  and	
  submission	
  to	
  the	
  FCC.	
  Therefore,	
  antennas	
  with	
  higher	
  gain	
  or	
  different	
  type	
  
than	
  specified	
  by	
  AeroVironment	
  may	
  not	
  be	
  used	
  with	
  the	
  AeroVironment	
  module	
  until	
  new	
  testing	
  
and	
  reporting	
  is	
  completed.	
  	
  
You	
  must	
  contact	
  the	
  AeroVironment	
  Regulatory	
  Group	
  to	
  report	
  any	
  higher	
  gain	
  or	
  new	
  antenna	
  
type	
  to	
  be	
  used	
  with	
  the	
  module.

  20	
  cm	
  from	
  all	
  persons	
  and

  not	
  be	
  co-­‐located	
  or	
  
operating	
  in	
  conjunction	
  with	
  any	
  other	
  antenna	
  or	
  transmitter.	
  
• Consult	
  with	
  AeroVironment	
  to	
  determine	
  the

5 Approved	
  Usage	
  
These	
  radio	
  modules	
  can	
  be	
  used	
  in	
  a	
  variety	
  of	
  physical	
  layer	
  configurations;	
  the	
  following	
  restricts	
  
the	
  use	
  to	
  maintain	
  compliance	
  with	
  the	
  above	
  referenced	
  certification	
  bodies.	
  
The	
  user	
  is	
  encouraged	
  to	
  use	
  minimum	
  power	
  required	
  to	
  establish	
  a	
  link,	
  thus	
  minimizing	
  
interference.	
  
Changes	
  or	
  modifications	
  to	
  the	
  module	
  and/or	
  operation	
  outside	
  the	
  limits	
  set	
  forth	
  below	
  are	
  
prohibited	
  and	
  could	
  void	
  the	
  user’s	
  authority	
  to	
  operate	
  the	
  modules.	
  
Uses	
  of	
  these	
  radio	
  modules	
  are	
  limited	
  to	
  the	
  specific	
  register	
  settings	
  that	
  are	
  optimized	
  for	
  
performance	
  and	
  compliance.

  a	
  finished	
  product	
  without	
  obtaining	
  subsequent	
  FCC	
  
approvals	
  for	
  intentional	
  radiators.	
  
  
The	
  module	
  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

6.2
End	
  User	
  Manual	
  
The	
  end	
  user	
  manual	
  should	
  include	
  the	
  following	
  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 or more 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.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables
must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved
equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio
and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications
made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void
the user's authority to operate this equipment.
