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.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz / 5.47 ~5.725GHz frequency range, it is
restricted to indoor environment. The band from 5600-5650MHz will be
disabled by the software during the manufacturing and cannot be changed by
the end user. This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E,
Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules.
The transceiver antenna must be placed above the PCBA board ,it can not be
obscured by the PCBA board and any metal parts.
The antennas spcaing must keep from 3cm to 12cm.
If antenna installed inside a box , the box shall not conrtain any metal
characteristics.
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 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.
3)
Module approval valid only when module antenna is installed at least 3 cm apart
and 2 of them are oriented in horizontal polarization as tested in the filing. Also,
the installed antenna cannot be covered or obstructed by any component which
can reduce or affect the antenna radiating strength or pattern.
As long as 3 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
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 FCC ID:
RRK2012060056-1”. 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 RSS-210 of the Industry Canada 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.
Ce dispositif est conforme Ă  la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada applicable aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions
suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage prĂŠjudiciable, et (2) ce
dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de
provoquer un fonctionnement indĂŠsirable.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC 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.
DĂŠclaration d'exposition aux radiations:
Cet ĂŠquipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC ĂŠtablies
pour un environnement non contrĂ´lĂŠ. Cet ĂŠquipement doit ĂŞtre installĂŠ et utilisĂŠ 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.
3) Module approval valid only when the module is installed in the tested host or
compatible series of host
As long as 3 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 intÊgrateurs OEM dans les conditions
suivantes: (Pour utilisation de dispositif module)
1) L'antenne doit ĂŞtre installĂŠe de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectĂŠe
entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et
2) Le module ĂŠmetteur peut ne pas ĂŞtre coĂŻmplantĂŠ avec un autre ĂŠmetteur ou
antenne.
3) L'approbation du module est valable uniquement lorsque le module est installe
dans l'equipement teste ou dans des equipements compatibles testes.
Tant que les 3 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplĂŠmentaires sur
l'ĂŠmetteur ne seront pas nĂŠcessaires. Toutefois, l'intĂŠgrateur OEM est toujours
responsable des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de conformitĂŠ
supplĂŠmentaires requis pour ce module installĂŠ.
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 oĂš ces conditions ne peuvent ĂŞtre satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines
configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre
ĂŠmetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considĂŠrĂŠ comme valide et l'ID IC ne
peut pas ĂŞtre utilisĂŠ sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intĂŠgrateur OEM
sera chargĂŠ de rĂŠĂŠvaluer le produit final (y compris l'ĂŠmetteur) 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

350 MHz et 5 470-5 725 MHz doit se conformer Ă  la limite de p.i.r.e.;
(iii) le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5 725-5
825 MHz) doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l’exploitation point à
point et non point Ă  point, selon le cas.
(iv) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi ĂŞtre avisĂŠs que les utilisateurs de radars de
haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité)
pour les bandes 5 250-5 350 MHz et 5 650-5 850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient
