Operation is subject to the followingtwo conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this devicemust accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesir edoperation.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digitaldevice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installedand used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, theuser 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 thereceiver is connected.- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the partyresponsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
PCB-915RM-SD - 3 - 1/22/2015This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any otherantenna or transmitter.Radiation Exposure Statement:This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance20cm 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 theantenna and users, and2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter orantenna.As long as 2conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not berequired. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end -product for any additional compliance requirements required with this moduleinstalledIMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (forexample certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter),then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can notbe used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will beresponsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) andobtaining a separate FCC authorization.End Product LabelingThis transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antennamay be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna andusers. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:“Contains FCC ID: OGS915RMSD”.

PCB-915RM-SD - 4 - 1/22/2015I NDUSTRY C ANADA C OMPLIANCEThis device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subjectto the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that maycause undesired operation.Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada applicable auxappareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditionssuivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) cedispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible deprovoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.Radiation Exposure Statement:This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance20cm between the radiator & your body.Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établiespour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec unminimum 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 moduledevice use)1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between theantenna and users, and2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter orantenna.As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not berequired. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end -product for any additional compliance requirements required with this moduleinstalled.Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes: (Pourutilisation de dispositif module)1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm estrespectée entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ouantenne.Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentairessur l'émetteur ne seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM esttoujours responsable des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences deconformité supplémentaires requis pour ce module installé.
PCB-915RM-SD - 5 - 1/22/2015IMPORTANT NOTE:In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptopconfigurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canadaauthorization is no longer considered valid and the IC ID can not be used on thefinal product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible forre-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separateCanada authorization.NOTE IMPORTANTE:Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pourcertaines configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avecun autre émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide etl'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.End Product LabelingThis transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antennamay be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna andusers. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:“Contains IC: 6449A-915RMSD"Plaque signalétique du produit finalCe module émetteur est autorisé uniquement pour une utilisation dans undispositif où l'antenne peut être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20cmpeut être maintenue entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs. Le produit final doit êtreétiqueté dans un endroit visible avec l'inscription suivante: "Contient des IC:6449A-915RMSD".Manual Information To the End UserThe OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end userregarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of t he endproduct which integrates this module.The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning asshown in this manual.Manuel d'information à l'utilisateur finalL'intégrateur OEM doit être conscient de ne pas fournir des informations àl'utilisateur final quant à la façon d'installer ou de supprimer ce module RF dans lemanuel de l'utilisateur du produit final qui intègre ce module.Le manuel de l'utilisateur final doit inclure toutes les informations réglementairesrequises et avertissements comme indiqué dans ce manuel.
