Compliance Statement
The following statements must be included in the product documentation for the end device in
which the radio module is embedded:
*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.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this radio module not expressly approved by its
manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
Product Labeling
This radio module is labeled with an FCC ID number and a Canadian Certification Number. If
this label is not visible when installed in an end-device, the outside of the device MUST also
display a label referring to the enclosed radio module. Use wording on the label similar to the
following:
"Transmitter Module FCC ID: OQ7IHW, Canada 3656AIHW".
OR
"This device contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: OQ7IHW, Canada 3656AIHW"
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
For the channels in the frequency band 5.15 to 5.25 GHz operation is limited to indoor use only
due to FCC and Canada requirements.

It is important to keep the radio’s antenna a safe distance from the user. To meet the
requirements of FCC part 2.1091 for radio frequency radiation exposure, the following
information must be provided to the end user:
“In order too comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be operated
in such a way that a minimum 20cm separation distance is maintained between the
antenna, and all persons, during normal operation.”
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such
that it does not emit RF fields in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population;
consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication.
Approved Antennas
Two antenna port connections (for diversity) are provided. The radio uses SMT Ultra Miniature
Coax Connector, Hirose, CL331-0471-0-10 (U.FL-R-SMT). An adaptor cable or interface board
is used to connect to the approved antennas.
The following antennas are approved for use with this module:

Installation
The Radiolinx IHW-OEM module fits into a MiniPCI connector. The diagram below shows the
dimensions of a MiniPCI TypeIIIA card.
The diagram below shows inseration and removal of the Mini-PCI card.
Digital connection is through Mini PCI type III defined by the Mini PCI Specification document
published by the PCI Special Interest Group. As a recommendation, the Molex 67315-0011 can
be used.
