3. EMI Certification Notes
It is recommended that the module be entirely encased in metal shielding to ensure meeting FCC
requirement.
4. Regulatory Information
4.1 Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 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.
The integrator should clarify obligations that the host/module combination complies with
FCC Part 15B requirements in the Host User Guide.
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.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated.
Selection of other channels is not possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
Referring to the multi-transmitter policy, multiple-transmitter(s) and module(s) can be
operated simultaneously without C2PC.
This device is restricted for indoor use.

MPORTANT NOTE:
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is responsible for the
compliance to all the rules that apply to the product into which this certified RF module is
integrated.
Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.
20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the
users for the host this module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be
satisfied.
USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
n the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least
I
20cm separation with the antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end
user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an
uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
If the labelling area is small than the palm of the hand, then additional FCC part 15.19
statement is required to be available in the users manual: This device complies with Part
15 of 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.
LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following "Contains FCC ID:
N89-NM3531".
If the labelling area is larger than the palm of the hand, then the following FCC part 15.19
statement has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
