Regulatory Compliance Statements

This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class B devices and describes how to

keep the system CE compliant.

Declaration of Conformity

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:

The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and

The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,

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 cannot 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: YHI-EWF3210K”.

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.

The product(s) described in this manual complies with all applicable European Union (CE)

directives if it has a CE marking.

For computer systems to remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining

CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques.

RoHS Compliance

NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status Update

NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital infrastructure. We are committed to providing

green products and services, which are compliant with European Union RoHS (Restriction on Use

of Hazardous Substance in Electronic Equipment) directive 2011/65/EU, to be your trusted green

partner and to protect our environment.

RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm,

Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm,

Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, and Polybrominated diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

< 0.1% or 1,000ppm.

In order to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established an engineering and

manufacturing task force to implement the introduction of green products. The task force will ensure

that we follow the standard NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS

components and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest industry quality levels for

which NEXCOM are renowned.

The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and suppliers will ensure

that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.

How to recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products?

For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the suffix “(LF)” will be added

to the compliant product name.

All new product models launched after January 2013 will be RoHS compliant. They will use the

usual NEXCOM naming convention.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

▪▪ Read all instructions carefully.

▪▪ Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

▪▪ Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

▪▪ When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the

anufacturer.

▪▪ Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and

cause a malfunction.

Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal

components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the

following:

▪▪ A Philips screwdriver

▪▪ A flat-tipped screwdriver

▪▪ A grounding strap

▪▪ An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use

needle-nose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of

the connectors.
