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. 
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. 
Selection of other channels is not possible. 
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in 
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. 
Refering to the multi-transmitter policy, multiple-transmitter(s) and module(s) can be operated 
simultaneously without C2P.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: 

USER MANUAL

This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is responsible for the 
compliance to all the rules that apply to the product into which this certified RF module is 
integrated. 
Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used. 
20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and 
the users for the host this module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the 
FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment 
can be satisfied.   
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void 
the user's authority to operate this equipment.

operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure 
guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. The end user has to also 
be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the 
manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. If the size of 
the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is 
required to be available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of 
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. 
LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT: 
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains 
TX FCC ID: RAXWN7911B ". If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then 
the following FCC part 15.19 statement has to also be available on the label:    This 
device complies with Part 15 of 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.
