Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment was 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 a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated 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 centimeters 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 must limit the operation channels in CH0 to CH39 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.

If the conditions above are met, further transmitter test are not 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 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 is 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 a 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: 2ABH9-LR2188

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
