Product Usage Instructions
RF Exposure:
This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body. It must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC Compliance:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. It may not cause harmful interference and must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Modular Approval:
This module has been tested and found to comply with Part 15.247 of the FCC
Rules for operation within the bands 902-928 MHz and 2400-2483.5 MHz. The host
product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that
apply to the host not
covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.
Test Modes:
This device uses various test mode programs for test setup, which operate separately from the production firmware. Host integrators should contact the grantee for assistance with test modes needed for module/host compliance test requirements.
Antennas:
This radio transmitter has been approved by the FCC to operate with FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) antennas. Antenna types not included in the approved list, with a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Wireless Device Restrictions:
FCC regulations restrict the operation of this device with WLAN 5GHz to indoor use only.
Features
- Supports a low-power SDIO 2.0 interface for WLAN and a HS-UART interface for BT
- Provides a highly integrated WLAN system-on-chip (SoC) for 2.4 & 5.8 GHz 802.11n
- Supports WLAN 2.4 & 5.8 GHz, 20 MHz/40 MHz
- Supports BT 5.2, BLE, and ANT+ with backward compatibility for BT 1.x and BT 2.x+ Enhanced Data Rate
- Supports a single-ended RF port for cleaner and lower cost design
- Supports STA, AP, and WiFi Direct modes concurrently

RF Exposure
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
- This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
- This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
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 undesired operation.
Applicable FCC Rules
This module has been tested and found to comply with the following
requirements for Modular Approval.
- Part 15.247 – Operation within the bands 902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz, and 5725-5850 MHz.
- Part 15.407 – General technical requirements.
Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts
(i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and that the host product
manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply
to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.
The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing
with the modular transmitter installed.
Test Modes
This device uses various test mode programs for test set up which operate
separate from production firmware. Host integrators should contact the grantee
for assistance with test modes needed for module/host compliance test
requirements.
Antennas
This radio transmitter has been approved by the FCC to operate with the
antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with
this device.
Part 15.21
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
part responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Wireless devices with WLAN 5GHz
FCC regulations restrict the operation of this device to indoor use only.
