FCC statement in User's Manual (for class B)
"Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for
the FCC compliance requirement of the end product which integrates this module.
20cm 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.
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 20cm 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
Alpha Networks Proprietary and Confidential Information
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 size of
the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, 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: RRK20105635A1 & IC: 4216A-WMPN075635 ". If the size of the end product
is larger than 8x10cm, 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.
NCC WARNING STATEMENT
Article 12 Without permission, any company, firm or user shall not alter the frequency,
increase the power, or change the characteristics and functions of the original design of the
certified lower power frequency electric machinery.
Article 14 The application of low power frequency electric machineries shall not affect the
navigation safety nor interfere a legal communication, if an interference is found, the service
will be suspended until improvement is made and the interference no longer exists.
The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own NCC ID number, and, if the NCC ID is
not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device
into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.
Alpha Networks Proprietary and Confidential Information
This exterior label can use wording such as the following:
“Contains Transmitter Module NCC ID:
Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either
provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment
authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain
this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the
application for equipment authorization.
