COMPLIANCE INFORMATION

FCC NOTICE

This device 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 device 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 device does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Connect the computer into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Increase the separation between the computer and receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Compliance Statement: 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.

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to
channels 1 through 11.

RF exposure warning

The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
The equipment must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

FCC ID: TK4WLM200NX

OEM integration instructions:
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions：
The module is only limited to installation in mobile applications. The antenna must be installed
such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and the transmitter module may
not be co-located with any other transmit or antenna. The module shall be only used with the
integral antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module.
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 requirement with this module installed (for example，digital device emission，PC
peripheral requirements，etc.)
End product labeling:
This transmitter module is authorization only for use in device where the antenna may be

installed such that 20cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end
product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:

TK4WLE200NX or Contains FCC ID: TK4WLE200NX ”.
