Qualified Antenna Types

This device has been designed to operate with a standard 2.14 dBi dipole antenna. Any
antenna of a different type or with a gain higher than 2.14 dBi is strictly prohibited for use
with this device. Using an antenna of a different type or gain more than 2.14 dBi will require
additional testing for FCC, CE and IC. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ω.

CE

The MGM12P02 and MGM12P22 modules are in conformity with the essential requirements
and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive(RED). Please note that
every application using the MGM12P will need to perform the radio EMC tests on the end
product according toEN 301 489-17. Separate RF testing is not required provided that the
customer follows the module manufacturer's recommendations and instructions and does
not make modifications e.g. to the provided antenna solutions or requirements. A formal DoC
is available via www.silabs.com

MGM12P32 module is inconformity with the essential requirements and other relevant
requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive(RED) at nominal 10 dBm transmit power.
The transmit power of the module is not limited and when an end product is using
MGM12P32, the end product manufacturer is responsible that the end product is in
inconformity of all relevant requirements of the RED.

FCC

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.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silicon Labs could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance. This transmitter meets both portable and mobile limits as
demonstrated in the RF Exposure Analysis. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with
FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC Regulations
OEM integrator is 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.).

• With MGM12P22GA, MGM12P22GE, MGM12P02GA and MGM12P02GE the
antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 6.7mm is
maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.

• With MGM12P32GA and MGM12P32GE the antenna(s) must be installed such that a
minimum separation distance of 39mm is maintained between the radiator (antenna)
and all persons at all times.

• The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product
procedures.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that the above conditions cannot be met (for certain
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot 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 authorization.

End Product Labeling

The variants of MGM12P Modules are labeled with their own FCC IDs. If the FCC ID is not
visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into
which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In
that case, the final product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
