REGULATORY STATEMENTS
FCC Certification
The United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and the
Canadian Department of Communications have established certain rules
governing the use of electronic equipment.
Part15, Class B
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interface, and
2) This device mu12st accept any interface received, including interface 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 off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
u Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
u Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
u Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is needed.
u Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
1) To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation
distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this
device and all persons.
2) This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
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. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to
ensure that the proper spacing is maintained in the event the users places the
device in their lap during use (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in the
upper portion of the LCD panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the
user places the device in their lap for use) and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter
or antenna.
As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing 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.).
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 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 ASDL modems, certain
laptop configurations, and similar equipment). The final end product must be
labeled in a visible area with the following: "Contains TX FCC ID:
MQ4WMG2K6".
RF Exposure Manual Information That Must be Included
The users 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 20 cm from all persons and must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter."
Additional Information That Must be Provided to OEM Integrators
The end user should NOT be provided any instructions on how to remove or
install the device.
