8. Agency Compliancy Information
8.1 AGENCY IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
Agency compliancy is a very important requirement for any product deployment. AeroComm has
obtained modular approval for its products so the OEM only has to meet a few requirements to be
eligible to use that approval. The corresponding agency identification numbers and approved
antennas are listed in the table below.

8.3 FCC/INDUSTRY CANADA (IC) REQUIREMENTS FOR MODULAR APPROVAL
In general, there are two classifications of wireless applications; portable and mobile.
Portable – Portable is a classification of equipment where the user, in general, will be within 20cm of
the transmitting antenna. Portable equipment is further broken into two classes; within 2.5cm of
human contact and beyond 2.5cm (NOTE: Ankles, feet, wrists and hands are permitted to be within
2.5cm of the antenna even if the equipment is designated as being greater than 2.5cm).
Mobile – Mobile defines equipment where the user will be 20cm or greater from the transmitting
antenna. The antenna must be mounted in such a way that it cannot be moved closer to the user with
respect to the equipment, although the equipment may be moved. NOTE: Ankles, feet, wrists and
hands are permitted to be within 20cm of mobile equipment.
8.3.1 OEM Equipment Labeling Requirements
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that FCC labeling
requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the
OEM enclosure specifying the appropriate AeroComm FCC identifier for this
product as well as the FCC Notice below. The FCC identifiers are listed above
in the Agency Identification Numbers chart.
Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the users's authority to operate the equipment.

8.3.3 Warnings Required in OEM Manuals
RF Exposure Warning for Portable Equipment (<2.5cm)
RF Exposure Warning for Portable Equipment (>2.5cm)
RF Exposure for Warning for Mobile Equipment
8.4 EUROPE/ETSI REQUIREMENTS FOR MODULAR APPROVAL
Certification is underway and details will be provided shortly.
WARNING:
This device has been tested with an MMCX connector with the antennas listed
above. When integrated in the OEMs product, these fixed antennas require
installation preventing end-users from replacing them with non-approved
antennas. Any antenna not in the previous table must be tested to comply with
FCC Section 15.203 for unique antenna connectors and Section 15.247 for
emissions. Contact Aerocomm for assistance.
WARNING: This equipment has been approved for mobile applications where the
equipment should be used at distances greater than 20cm from the human
body (with the exception of hands, wrists, feet and ankles). Operation at
distances less than 20cm is strictly prohibited. Excessive RF exposure should
be avoided.
WARNING: This equipment has been approved for portable applications where the
equipment can be used in direct contact with the human body. Excessive RF
exposure should be avoided.
WARNING: This equipment has been approved for portable applications where the
equipment should be used at distances greater than 2.5cm from the human
body (with the exception of hands, wrists, feet and ankles). Operation at
distances less than 2.5cm is strictly prohibited. Excessive RF exposure should
be avoided.
