FCC Statement :
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.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
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 or more 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.
Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions included
in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas)
made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused
by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution of the connecting cables and equipment
other than manufacturer specified. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by
such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment. Manufacturer and its authorized resellers or
distributors will assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing
to comply with these guidelines.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
1.This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.
Modular Approval
This device is intended only form OEM integrator under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot 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 devices where the antenna may be installed such that
20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for example access points, routers, wireless
ADSL modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in visible area with the
following:
“Contains RF Module FCC ID: SBVRM002
End Product Manual Information
The user manual for end users 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 20cm from all persons and must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
