Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement (to be placed on End Products)
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: To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices).
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. The final end
product must be labeled in visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: RYK-
WPEQ160ACNBT”
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.” 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or colocation 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 reevaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. 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. 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.).
