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 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 is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

5. Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
   This module has been approved under a stand-alone configuration. OEM integrator has limited the operation channels in channels 1-11 for the 2.4GHz band. Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093/RSS-102 and different antenna configurations The information on how to configure test modes for host product evaluation for different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, versus with multiple, simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host can be found at KDB Publication 996369 D04. OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
   IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC/ISED authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC/IC No. cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC/ISED authorization.

6. Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B and ICES-003 disclaimer
   Appropriate measurements (e.g. Part 15 Subpart B compliance) and if applicable additional equipment authorizations (e.g. SDoC) of the host product to be addressed by the integrator/manufacturer. This module is only FCC/ISED authorized for the specific rule parts 15.247, and RSS-247 listed on the grant, and the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC/ISED rules that apply to the host product as being Part 15 Subpart B/ICES-003 compliant.
