1.4 RF Exposure

Your device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your device, the system
handling your connection controls the power level at which your device
transmits.

Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used
with a separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions could
result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

The maxim permissible exposure is defined in 47 CFR 1.1310 with 1mW/cm*cm.
The transmitter is using external antenna that operate at 20cm or more from
nearby persons. The maxim power density is 0.562mW/cm*cm.

The FCC grant can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on

FCC ID: Q78-MF226.

“Note: if the FCC identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, the outside of the
device into which the module is installed must also display a
label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can
use wording such as the following: “ Contains Transmitter
