Compex Systems WLM54GP23 Users Manual

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 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 (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 device where the

antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the

antenna and users (for example access points, routers, wireless ADSL 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: TK4-WLM54GP23".

Manual Information for End Users
