Administrative Regulations on Low
Power Radio Waves Radiated Devices
Article 14
Without permission granted, the frequency change, transmitting power
enhance or alter of original design characteristic as well as function by
companies, enterprises, or users for approved Low-power radio frequency
devices is not allowed.
Article 17
Low-power radio-frequency devices shall not influence aircraft security and
interfere legal communications; If found, shall cease operating immediately
until no interference is achieved.
Article 20
A company, enterprise, or user importing, manufacturing low-power
radio-frequency devices will be punished for violation of regulation hereunder,
authorized frequency usage or change and power change in accordance with
Telecommunications Act. Furthermore, Directorate General of
Telecommunication can cancel its model certificate or recognition label.
Above mentioned Legal Communications is defined as radio communications
operation complying to Telecommunications Act.
Low-power radio-frequency devices must susceptible with the interference
from legal communications, ISM radio wave radiated devices.
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.
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.
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 (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 (for example :Wireless
Router. Access Point). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains TX FCC ID: JCK-GN-WI01GS”.
Manual Information That Must be Included
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 integrate this
module.
The users manual for OEM integrators must include the following information in a prominent location
“ IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for
this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
