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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
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.
Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the
US/CANADA.
Operation of this device is restricted to indoor use only
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
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: TVE-130513”.
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 user’s 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 Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.
Cet appareil est conforme aux CNR exemptes de licence d'Industrie Canada. Son
fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) Ce dispositif ne peut causer d'interférences; et(2) Ce dispositif doit accepter toute
interférence, y compris les interférences qui peuvent causer un mauvais
fonctionnement de l'appareil.
Caution:
(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
Avertissement:
(i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5 150-5 250 MHz sont réservés
uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage
préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;
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.
Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies
pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé
avec un minimum 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:
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.
As long as 2 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.
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions
suivantes:
1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée
entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et
2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou
antenne.
Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires sur
l'émetteur ne seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours
responsable des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de conformité
supplémentaires requis pour ce module installé.
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 Canada
authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC 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
Canada authorization.
NOTE IMPORTANTE:
Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines
configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre
émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'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.
