FCC ID: NS917PDDL900 IC: 3143A-17PDDL900

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.

CAREFULLY

WARNING:

To satisfy FCC/IC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 36 cm or more should be
maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this
distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Microhard Systems Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device has been tested with UFL to Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the antennas listed in Appendix A When integrated in
OEM products, fixed antennas require installation preventing end-users from replacing them with non-approved antennas. Antennas not
listed in the tables must be tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section 15.247 (emissions).

WARNING:

MAXIMUM EIRP
FCC Regulations allow up to 36 dBm equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP). Therefore, the sum of the transmitted power
(in dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain cannot exceed 36 dBm.

WARNING:

EQUIPMENT LABELING
The FCC and IC numbers depend on the model of the radio module. Do NOT use the Marketing Name of the product but the Model
to distinguish the Certifications Numbers. This device has been modularly approved. The manufacturer, product name, and FCC
and ISED identifiers of this product must appear on the outside label of the end-user equipment.

WARNING:

This device complies with ISED license-exempt RSSs. 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.

les interférences qui peuvent provoquer un fonctionnement
indésirable .

WARNING:

Pour satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC/IC d'exposition RF pour la base et mobiles sur une distance de séparation de 36 cm ou plus
doit être maintenue entre l'antenne de cet appareil et des personnes lors de fonctionnement du dispositif. Pour assurer la conformité
des opérations au plus près que cette distance n'est pas recommandée. L'antenne utilisée pour ce transmetteur ne doit pas être co­localisés en conjonction avec toute autre antenne ou transmetteur.

WARNING:

Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : ( 1 ) ce dispositif ne doit pas causer d'interférences nuisibles et ( 2) cet

utilisateurs finaux de les remplacer par des antennes non approuvées . Antennes ne figurant pas dans les tableaux doivent être testés
pour se conformer à la Section 15.203 (connecteurs d'antenne uniques ) et à la Section 15.247 ( émissions ) .

WARNING:

MAXIMUM EIRP
Règlement FCC permettent jusqu'à 36 dBm puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (EIRP) . Par conséquent, la somme de la puissance

iv PDDL2450 Operating Manual

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 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.

RF exposure Statement

The equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 36cm between the radiator and your body.

End Product Labeling
The Final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: NS917PDDL900,

IC: 3143A-17PDDL900”.

The end product that integrated with this module must be tested to comply with unintentional radiators pursuant
to FCC Part 15B and IC ICES-003.

IMPORTANT NOTE

In the event that these condition can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with
another transmitter), then the FCC/IC authorization is no longer considered valid and FCC ID/IC can not 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/IC authorization.

NOTE IMPORTANTE

Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être respectées (par exemple certaines configurations d'ordinateurs
portables ou de co-implantation avec un autre émetteur), l'autorisation de la FCC / IC n’est plus considéré comme
valide et la FCC ID / IC ne peut pas être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera
responsable de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte de la FCC /
IC.
