NOTE: For FCC compliance, the following text MUST be included in module host devices’ manuals and user’s guides. The antenna of this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The device should be installed so that people will not come within 22 cm (9 in.) of the antenna. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 or more 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 disconnected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help. 4.1. FCC Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module The following is an extract from Section 15.212(a)1(vi)A of the FCC Rules: (A) If using a permanently affixed label, the modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC identification number, and, if the FCC identification number 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. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. 4.2. Safety Information Observe the following safety guidelines. 1. Use only in module slots designed to support RFID readers. 2. Ensure proper heat sinking from the module. 3. Provide appropriate power, ground, and power controls to the module. 4.

The EUT was placed on a wooden table resting on a turntable on the test site. The search antenna was placed 3m from the EUT. The EUT antenna was mounted in the with the EUT TX antenna pointed directly to the search antenna. 2. The turntable was slowly rotated to locate the direction of maximum emission at each emission falling in the restricted bands of 15.205. 3. Emissions were investigated to the 10 th harmonic of the fundamental. 4. Once maximum direction was determined, the search antenna was raised and lowered in both vertical and horizontal polarizations. The maximum readings so obtained are recorded in the data listed below. Test Results: Worst-case results are presented. Pre-scan data showed X orientation in setup photographs as worst case configuration for emissions. Refer to data sheets below. Restricted band emissions meet 54 dBuV/m. Other undesired emissions from the transmitter meet the -20 dBc requirement in 15.247(d).
