Federal Communication Commission Interference 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 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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This transmitter module is authorized only for use in
device where the antenna may be installed so that 20 cm may be maintained
between the antenna and users and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor
environment.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
1) This product features the selection of different antennas and
adjustments of output power according to the final application and the final
product which incorporates this product must be installed by a professional
installer who has been properly trained by the supplier. Selling of this product
in public retail store is prohibited.
2) Professional installer must carefully consult the professional installation
manual and program the conducted output power no more than tested maximum
conducted power for each antenna as documented in the manual
3) The antenna of end product must be installed so that at least 20 cm is
maintained between the antenna and users, and
4) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter
or antenna.
5) The module must be completely embedded inside the final product
and there is no direct access from outside to remove the module without
opening the product chases with a tool.
6) OEM shall not display or instruct the user how to install or remove
the module.
As long as 6 conditions above are met, a 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 (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
End Product Labeling
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains
TX FCC ID: RRKWMPD18”.
Manual Information
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 users manual of
the end product which integrate this module.
The users manual for OEM integrators must include the following information
in a prominent location
(a) RF exposure warning as below:
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,
the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
(b) Manual must include tested maximum compliance eirp power as documented in
the manual and FCC filling for each supplied antenna.
(c) Warning to the installer that final eirp radiated power must adjusted to lower or
equal to tested maximum eirp as documented in the manual.
If the end product integrating this module is going to be operated in 5.15 ~
5.25GHz frequency range, the user’s manual of end product must include
following statement:
“The 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency band in US/Canada is restricted to indoor use
only.”
Industry Canada Statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause interference and
2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 18 dBi.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for
successful communication.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they
have priority) in 5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference
and/or damage to license exempt LAN devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for
uncontrolled environments. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
