Grant Notes
This device may not be employed for the operation of toys or on outdoor fixed infrastructure. Operation onboard an aircraft, a ship, or a satellite is prohibited. This filing meets the SAR threshold exclusion set forth in KDB 447498 and therefore can be used in mobile/portable configurations. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
