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 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
radiated 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human
proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
Maximum antenna gain allowed for use with this device is +2 dBi.
When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC ID label must be visible through a window
on the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door or cover is easily re-moved. If not,
a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text:
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, and
Page 19
User Manual/ Specification September 22, 2013

User Manual/ Specification | 9/22/2013
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter
or antenna. As long as 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
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 will be responsible for re-evaluating the
end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
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.
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains
FCC ID: RM4-CO3L”. The grantee's FCC ID can be used only when all FCC
compliance requirements are met.
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end
product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as
show in this manual.
