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 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:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Caution
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided
instructions and a minimum 20 cm spacing must be provided between
computer mounted antenna and person’s body (excluding extremities of
hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes of operation.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operat ion 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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the authority to operate equipment.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure 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.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators which produce
host with 4 slots able to match with the pins of the modules.
The following conditions have to be met:
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna
and users, and As long as the condition above is met, furthe r transmitter test will
not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still res ponsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with t his module
installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peri pheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met
certain laptop configurations or co-location with ano ther transmitter), then th e FCC
authorization is no longer considered valid and the F CC ID can not
final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) a nd obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.
The end proudct using this module can only use the filed antenna and
(for example
be used on the
has to label the end product by "Contains Tx Module FCC ID: NDD9573170504".
R&TTE Compliance Statement
This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE
OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL of March 9, 1999 on
radio equipment and telecommunication terminal Equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity (R&TTE)
The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC
(Telecommunications Terminal Equipment and Satellite Earth Station
Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.
