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
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between
the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other
transmitter or antenna,
3) 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 can not 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: RYK-WPEQ257ACN”.
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.
