- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
INFORMATION TO USER:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, under Part 15 of FCC Rules. 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. If not installed and used under the instructions, it may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

The Antenna information
| Antenna | Antenna Manufacturer | Antenna Model No. | Antenna Type | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NFC Antenna | HongBo | M9X8Y(DC33002TZ4L) | Loop antenna | Main source |
For the test modes and testing requirements please refer to the DWRFID2218 test reports
Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
This transmitter is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition and
any co‐located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) or
portable use will require a separate class II permissive change re‐evaluation
or new certification.
Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does
not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement
applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed
for compliance with this portion of rule requirements if applicable. As long
as all conditions above are met, further transmitter tests will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
module installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations
or co‐location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not 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 authorization.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the
end product that integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warnings
as shown in this manual.
OEM/Host manufacturer responsibilities
OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the
Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the
essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it
can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter
module for compliance with the Radio and EMF essential requirements of the FCC
rules. This module must not be incorporated into any other device or system
without retesting for compliance as multi‐radio and combined equipment
FOR PORTABLE DEVICE USAGE
Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product complies with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended operation as described in
this manual. Further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can

output power if such a function is available.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations
or co‐location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no
longer considered valid and the IC ID can not 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 Canada
authorization.
End Product Labeling FOR PORTABLE DEVICE USAGE
The product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the
device to lower output power if such a function is available. The end product
must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains
IC:1514B‐DWRFID2218”.
Manual Information To the End User
- The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product that integrates this module.
