MPE5N33A radio module in order to comply with regulatory requirements. HOST CONTROLLER This module is only to be used for installation in Ruckus Wireless, Inc. products. The host must supply regulated voltage to the radio module. POWER SETTING Maximum output power must comply with the power limits identified on the FCC Grant, Industry Canada REL listing, or as identified by other regulatory authorities. Power measurements are conducted measurements at the antenna ports. ALLOWED ANTENNAS The module is only to be used with antennas approved by Ruckus Wireless, Inc. Use of an antenna of higher gain or of a different type than the antennas included in the FCC submission requires additional testing and submission to the FCC. ANTENNA PLACEMENT The antennas used with this module may only be collocated as identified on the FCC grant. Simultaneous transmissions is allowed as identified within the FCC submission. This module is not intended for mobile applications. Antenna installation within 20cm of the human body is not permitted. DEVICE LABELING The host device containing this module must either: 1) Make the module label visible so the FCC ID is visible in the end construction 2) Label the end product with the FCC ID and IC ID of the module. For example “Contain FCC ID: S9G-MPE5N33A” or “Contains IC: 5912A-MPE5N33 ”
