79546+91071 TRX module meets Part 90 of the FCC rules and regulations. Compliance with the
labeling requirements, FCC notices is required. In order to comply with FCC Certification
requirements, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must fulfill the following requirements.

1. The system integrator must place an exterior label on the outside of the final product
housing the 79546+91071TRX Module. The figure below shows the contents that must be
included in this label.

2. 79546+91071 TRX modules may only be used with the antennas that have been

Labeling Requirements

tested and approved for use with the module.

The OEM must make sure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible
exterior label on the outside of the final product housing that displays the contents shown in
below.

WARNING: The 79546+91071 TRX modules have been tested by the FCC for use with other products
without further certification (as per FCC Section 2.1091). Changes or modifications to this device not
expressly approved by Cattron-Theimeg could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTICE: OEM’s must verify the final end product complies with unintentional radiators (FCC Section

15.107 and 15.109) before providing a declaration of conformity for their final product to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules.

NOTICE: The 79546+91071 TRX modules have been certified for mobile and fixed radio
applications. If the module will be used for portable applications, the device must undergo SAR
testing.

RF Exposure WARNING: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20
cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

NOTICE: The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product
manuals in order to alert users of FCC RF Exposure compliance.

79546+91071 TRX is designed for use in countless wireless applications requiring long range
communications with low energy consumption. To ensure that the final product complies with the all of
the regulatory requirements for the Modular Grant the following integration instructions should be
followed. 79546+91071 TRX is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM integrator is responsible
for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the module.

FCC Part 15.105(b) Warning Statement

NOTE: 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.

IC RSS-GEN, Sec 7.1.2 Warning Statement- (Required for Transmitters)

ENGLISH:

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.

FRENCH:

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité
nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

IC RSS-GEN, Sec 7.1.2 Warning Statement­(Required for Transmitters w/ detachable antennas)

ENGLISH:

This radio transmitter (IC: 1007A-79543,Model Number: 79543TRX) has been approved by
Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed
below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than
the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

FRENCH:

Le présent émetteur radio (IC:1007A-79543, Numéro de modèle: 79543TRX) a été approuvé
par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antennes énumérés ci-dessous ayant un
gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types
d'antennes non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué,
sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.

IC RSS-102, Sec 2.6 Warning Statements

ENGLISH:

The applicant is responsible for providing proper instructions to the user of the radio device,
and any usage restrictions, including limits of exposure durations. The user manual shall

Cattron-Theimeg Inc. Proprietary and Confidential Page v

LRM and PA Radio Module CATTRON Engineering Group
Document p/n: 9S02-7954-A001 Rev.A

provide installation and operation instructions, as well as any special usage conditions, to
ensure compliance with SAR and/or RF field strength limits. For instance, compliance
distance shall be clearly stated in the user manual.

FRENCH:

Le requérant est responsable de fournir les instructions adéquates pour l’usage de
l’équipement radio, ainsi que toutes les limitations, incluant les durées maximales
d’exposition. Le manuel utilisateur doit fournir les instructions d’installation et d’opération,
ainsi que toutes les conditions d’utilisation particulières, pour assurer la conformité avec les
limites d’exposition aux champs électromagnétiques radiofréquences et/ou SAR.

Only the following authorized antennas may be used with the equipment:

Or the antenna gain less than 5.15dBi may be used with the equipment.

PRT-0000092 (whip antenna SPHS24221), 50Ohm, Gain: 0dBi

PRT-0000098 (whip antenna SPHS24221), 50Ohm, Gain: 0dBi

2PCA-8467-X001(Helical Antenna), 50Ohm, Gain: -8dBi

½ wave Omni antenna (ASPH7455), 5.15dBi
