FCC STATEMENT

USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC) FCC COMPLIANCE  STATEMENT:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. 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 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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to 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.

The Antenna information

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:
