regulatory authorities.
B. Customer is responsible for ensuring that antennas used with the product are of
the same type, with same or lower gains as approved and providing antenna reports to
Broadcom.
C. Customer is responsible for regression testing to accommodate changes to
Broadcom’s reference designs, new antennas, and portable RF exposure safety
testing/approvals.
D. Appropriate labels must be affixed to the CUSTOMER Product that comply with
applicable regulations in all respects.
E. A user’s manual or instruction manual must be included with the customer
product that contains the text as required by applicable law. Without limitation of the
foregoing, an example (for illustration purposes only) of possible text to include is set

1. USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
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.
INFORMATION TO USER:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio

measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
-Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
-Connect the equipment to outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
CAUTION: (this only applicable to 5GHz device)
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for frequency range 5.15
to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to
5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this
device.

computer to provide at least 20cm separation distance from the transmitting antenna to
the body of user during normal operating condition.
2. Transmitting antenna(s) can only be installed at the display section of computer. When
this device is installed other than notebook computers, at least 20 cm separation distance
shall be maintained between the transmitting antenna(s) to the body of user or nearby
person.
3. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter within a host device, except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
4. Only those antennas with same type and lesser gain filed under this FCC ID number
can be used with this device.
5. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC
