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.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to
channels 1 through 11.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC 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 transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC 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 transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited
to channels 1 through 11.
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 US, 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.
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 (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
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: RRKWMPND03”.
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 users 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 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 7.12dBi.
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.
Caution:
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to
reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite
systems.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning
they have priority) in 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz, these radars
could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt LAN
devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC 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.
