RF exposure information: The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) level has been calculated based on a distance of d=20 cm between the device and the human body. To maintain compliance with RF exposure requirements, use products that maintain a 20cm distance between the device and the human body.
This product can be used across EU member states.
EU Regulatory Conformance
Hereby, Shenzhen Chainway Information Technology Co., Ltd declares that this
device complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions
of Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity is available at the
following internet address: https://www.chainway.net.
FCC
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.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modifications or changes to this
equipment. Such modifications or changes could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, under part 15 of the 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 and, if not installed and used by 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 the 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.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
When using the product, maintain a distance of 20cm from the body to ensure
compliance with RF exposure requirements.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
- The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users.
- 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:
If these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations
or colocation 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 and IC 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 and IC authorization in the U.S. and Canada.
OEM Integrators – End Product Labeling Considerations. This transmiter
module is authorised only for use in devices where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The
end product must be labelled in a visible area with the folowing. “Contains,
FCC ID: 2AC6ACM7108”.The grantee’s FCC ID can be used when all FCC
compliance requirements are met
OEM Integrators – End Product Manual Provided to the End User: The 0EM integrator should not provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the end product user manual. The end user manual must include all required regulatory information and warnings as outlined in this document.
