3.1 Introduction
The TiWi module has been tested as Modular Radio in accordance with the FCC .The device has been
tested to relevant FCC parts and the results of the testing may be found in the module’s test report.
Since this module and its associated set of approved antenna has been certified as a Modular Radio,
this allows to integrate this module into an end-product and only be responsible for the
Unintentional Emissions levels produced by the product. The manufacturer of the module is the
responsible for the compliance of the Intentional Emissions produced by the module, as long as, the
recommendations presented in this application 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.
3.2 Module Integration Considerations – Antenna Systems
The module must be used with one of the approved antennas:

The antennas should place such that they are minimally disturbed by the product’s packaging
material. The incorporation of the largest practical free-space clearance around the antenna is
important for maximizing overall performance. The clearances associated with the SAR compliance
must be maintained.
Les antennes doivent placer de telle sorte qu'ils sont très peu perturbées par le matériau d'emballage
du produit. L'incorporation de la plus grande clairance pratique espace libre autour de l'antenne est
important pour optimiser la performance globale. Les dégagements associés à la conformité SAR

3.5.2 Industry Canada Statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for
successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in 3.2 Module Integration
Considerations – Antenna Systems, and having a maximum gain of 2 dBi. Antennas not included in
this list or having a gain greater than 2dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required
antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
L'opération est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut pas provoquer
d'interférences et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les interférences qui
peuvent causer un mauvais fonctionnement de l'appareil.
Pour réduire le risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent
être choisis de manière que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pascelle
permise pour une communication réussie.
Cet appareil a été conçu pour fonctionner avec l'antenne (s) ci 3.2 Module Integration Considerations
– Antenna Systems, et ayant un gain maximum de 2 dBi. Antennes pas inclus dans cette liste ou ayant
un gain supérieur à 2dBi sont strictement interdits pour une utilisation avec cet appareil.
L'impédance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms.
3.5.3 Responsibilities to comply with FCC and Industry Canada Regulations
The TiWi Module has been certified for integration into products only by Leica Geosystems AG or
Hexagon AB under the following conditions:
1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is
maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
However, the 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 cannot be met (for certain configurations or
co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer
considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the final product. In

these circumstances, the integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including
the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and Industry Canada authorization.
Le module de TIWI a été certifié pour l'intégration dans des produits uniquement par des
intégrateurs Leica Geosystems AG ou Hexagon AB dans les conditions suivantes:
Tant que les deux conditions précitées sont réunies, les tests de transmetteurs supplémentaires ne
seront pas tenus. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours responsable de tester leur produit final
pour toutes les exigences de conformité supplémentaires requis avec ce module installé (par
exemple, les émissions appareil numérique, les exigences de périphériques PC, etc.)
NOTE IMPORTANTE: Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (pour certaines
configurations ou de co-implantation avec un autre émetteur), puis la FCC et Industrie autorisations
Canada ne sont plus considérés comme valides et l'ID de la FCC et IC numéro de certification ne peut
pas être utilisé sur la produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé de
réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'un distincte de la FCC et Industrie
Canada l'autorisation.
