FCC statements

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 under 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 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.

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:

  1. The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and the users.
  2. 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 co-location 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 transmitter module is authorized 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 labeled in a visible area with the following. “Contains, FCC ID: 2AC6ACM7104”.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 shall 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.
