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. The final end product must be labeled in a
visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: ZMOL860GLD-D1”. The grantee's FCC ID can be used
only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
Manual Information To the End User
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.
