FCC Information
RF Exposure Information: To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use the product that maintain a 20cm separation distance between the user’s body and the host.
FCC statements:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- this device may not cause harmful interference, and
- this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesiredoperation.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorizedmodifications or changes to this equipment. Such modifications or changes could void the user’s authority tooperate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuantto part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energyand, 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. Ifthis equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined byturning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of thefollowing 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.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1. The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users. 2. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as the two conditions above are met, additional transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required for the installed module.
Important Note:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government (FCC) and the Canadian Government authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator shall be responsible for re-evaluating the end-product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization in the U.S. and Canada.
OEM Integrators – End Product Labeling Considerations:
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains, FCC ID: 2ABGH-RC101ML”. The grantee’s FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
OEM Integrators – End Product Manual Provided to the End User:
The OEM integrator shall not provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in end product user manual. The end user manual must include all required regulatory information and warnings as outlined in this document.
