This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning (Part 15.21) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC Interference Statement (Part 15.105 (b)) 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 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. FCC/IC RF Exposure To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF Exposure (OET Bulletin 65) To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, this transmitter should only used or installed at locations where there is at least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and all persons.

Grant Notes

Single Modular Approval. Power output is conducted at the antenna terminal. MPE compliance was demonstrated for antenna(s) of the type and gain as shown in the filing. Final antenna installation and operating configurations of this transmitter including antenna gain and cable loss must not exceed the EIRP of the configuration used for calculating MPE. The module must transmit with a duty factor as indicated in this filing, controlled by firmware and software. Products operating with this module are required to provide a minimum separation distance of at least 20 cm between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. Grantee must coordinate with OEM integrators to ensure the end-users of products operating with this module are provided with operating instructions to satisfy RF exposure requirements. Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations.
