betweentheradiator&yourbody.
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) For all products market in Canada, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1
to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. 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.
