This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment for body-worn configuration in direct contact to the phantom. Information to OEM integrator 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 manual ofthe end product. The user manual which is provided by OEM integrators for end users must include the following information in a prominent location. 1.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. except in accordance with FCC multi— transmitter product procedures. 2. Only those antennas with same type and lesser gain filed under this FCC ID number can be used with this device. 3. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC ID: MAU050 or using electronic labeling method as documented in KDB 784748. 4. The final system integrator must ensure there is no instruction provided in the user manual or customer documentation indicating how to install or remove the transmitter module except such device has implemented two-ways authentication between module and the host system. This equipment has been tested and forrnd to comply with the limits for a Class 8 digital device. prrrsuant to part 15 of the FCC rrrles. These Ii are designed to provide reasonable protect on against harmful interference in a residential install. on. 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 grrararrtee that interference will not occur n a particular installatro If this eqr 'pment does cause harmful interference to radio or televr on receptron. which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. the user is encouraged to try to correcttlre interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ‘lncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver. 4Connect the equipment into an orrtlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. ACorrsult the dealer or an experienced radiofTV technician for help.
