OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change. 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. 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: 4833A-WMPA01A1”. 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. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Ce dispositif est conforme à 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 préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable. (Le manuel d'utilisation de dispositifs émetteurs équipés d'antennes amovibles doit contenir les informations suivantes dans un endroit bien en vue:) Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de dB [4.6]. Une antenne à gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par les règlements d'Industrie Canada. L'impédance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms. Avertissement: Le dispositif fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz est réservé uniquement pour une utilisation à l'intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux. Les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu'ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
NOTE IMPORTANTE: (Pour l'utilisation de dispositifs mobiles) Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations: 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. 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, 3) Pour tous les produits vendus au Canada, OEM doit limiter les fréquences de fonctionnement CH1 à CH11 pour bandes de fréquences 2.4G grâce aux outils de microprogrammation fournis. OEM ne doit pas fournir d'outil ou d'informations à l'utilisateur final en ce qui concerne le changement de réglementation de domaine. 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..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: 4833A-WMPA01A1".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l'utilisateurduproduitfinalquiintègrecemodule.Lemanueldel'utilisateurfinaldoitincluretouteslesinformationsréglementairesrequisesetavertissementscommeindiquédanscemanuel.
