TN131C 915A Radio Operational Requirements
Appendix A1 INTRODUCTION
The WaveRider 915A Radio is certified by FCC and Industry Canada (IC) under a Limited
Modular Approval (FCC ID: OOX-915A and IC ID: 3225B-915A). This means that the radio
can be used in various packages and configurations provided the requirements below are met.
These requirements apply to any WaveRider final product using the 915A radio.
Note that this radio under the 915A certifications cannot be sold as a bare board to endcustomers or OEMs. Only WaveRider manufactured final products can be sold. As such, this
document is intended only for WaveRider or its contractors to act as an ‘installation guide’ for
installing the 915A radio into a final product.
Adhering to these requirements will not necessarily ensure compliance to FCC and IC
requirements for the final product. If there are any concerns, testing should be done to ensure
compliance. For example, the 915A radio meets the FCC and IC Class B unintentional radiator
requirements as a standalone unit. If it is combined with other components or radios, the
aggregate may not meet the same limits as the standalone unit.
The term “final product” in this document will refer to the product that is sold that incorporates
the 915A radio. WaveRider products that use the 915A radio currently includes the EUM2005.
This document will be updated as new configurations are approved for the 915A radio, such as
new antenna and power supplies.
The approved configurations are shown in Section 3.
WARNING – Final product (e.g. EUM3005, MMT9000, etc.) user documentation (e.g.
Installation Guides, Spec. Sheets) must NOT contain any information about how the 915A radio
is installed in the final product nor how to access the radio.

2.1 Regulatory Notices Requirements
Regulatory Notices
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Intentional
Radiator, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Regulations. These limits are intended to provide protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
