Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

FCC Rules Part 15 Subpart E  §15.407(c)   Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c) Data transmission is  always initiated by  software,  which is the  passed down through the MAC, through  the digital and  analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.   FCC Rules Part 15 Subpart E  §15.407(g)    Frequency Tolerance: +/-20 ppm   FCC Rules Part 15 Subpart C  §15.247(g) / Subpart E  This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or    transmitter.   RSS-Gen  §8.3 This radio transmitter 4908A-PMACS has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.  Le numéro IC du présent émetteur radio  4908A-PMACS a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué pour ce type, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation avec cet appareil.

RSS-247 Issue 1 May 2015 Radio Standards Specification RSS-247, Issue 1, Digital Transmission Systems (DTSs), Frequency Hopping Systems (FHSs) and Licence-Exempt Local Area Network (LE-LAN) Devices, is a new standard to replace annexes 8 and 9 of RSS-210, Issue 8, Licence-exempt Radio Apparatus (All Frequency Bands): Category I Equipment.  At the date of publication of this standard, devices covered under the scope of this document will no longer be certified under RSS-210, Issue 8.   Le Cahier des normes radioélectriques 247, 1re édition, Les systèmes de transmission numérique (STN), les systèmes à sauts de fréquence (SSF) et les dispositifs de réseaux locaux exempts de licence (RL-EL), remplace les annexes 8 et 9 du CNR-210, 8e édition, Appareils radio exempts de licence (pour toutes les bandes de fréquences) : matériel de catégorie I.  À la date de publication de la présente norme, les dispositifs visés par ce document ne seront plus certifiés conformément au CNR-210, 8e édition.   Frequency Band 5150 – 5250 MHz  LE-LAN devices are restricted to indoor operation only in the band 5150-5250 MHz.  Les dispositifs LAN-EL sont restreints à une utilisation à l'intérieur, dans la bande 5150-5250MHz.  High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.  Les radars de haute puissance sont désignés comme utilisateurs principaux (c’est-à dire utilisateurs prioritaires) pour les bandes 5250-5350  MHz  et  5650-5850  MHz,  et  que  ces  radars  peuvent  provoquer  du  brouillage  et/ou  des  dommages  aux  dispositifs LAN-EL.

WARNING: The FCC / The Industry Canadaregulations provide that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’sauthority to operate the equipment.  Manual and Product Labeling information To The End User The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.And when this module is installed in the host product, you must include a “Contain FCC ID : N6C-PMACS”and a “Contain IC: 4908A-PMACS” in the label of the host product.  This module is designed for embedded purpose into the general electric devices, and is not designed for high reliability demands like aircraft instruments, nuclear control instruments, high reliability medical instruments, high reliability security instruments or any other devices required extremely high reliability and quality.  •  As this module communicates by radio wave, it is strongly recommended to use some security system to prevent unexpected information leakage to others.  •  This module is a radio module for embedded purpose. Please understand functions and features of this module, and evaluate as the final product which has this module embedded. Also, as evaluation of EMC conformity of this module has not been performed, EMC conformity evaluation and application must be performed with the final product which this module is embedded.  •  This module will effect to some other device or be affected by the some other device using the same frequency band.Please investigate the environment to use this module beforehand.    •  Disassembling or modifying the radio module leads to punishment based on radio law.    •  This  module is the  embedded  module that has  the  exposed connectors or  some devices.Please  be  careful  for electro static, condensing, and other dusts.  • “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.”  IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC / IC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC / IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC / IC authorization. As long as a condition above is 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.
