RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

RF exposure statement (mobile and fixed devices) This device complies with the RF exposure requirements for mobile and fixed devices. However, the device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

INTEGRATOR AND HOST REQUIREMENTS

• Authorization requirements
  TWN4 Palon Compact LEGIC M Light has been certified as a module and does not need further approval, provided that the module is used in accordance with the FCC grant conditions and no limitations or usage conditions have been defined by ELATEC. However, the host manufacturer must ensure that the host device still complies with all applicable regulations after TWN4 Palon Compact LEGIC M Light has been integrated.
  In particular, the host integrator installing TWN4 Palon Compact LEGIC M Light into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB

• Labeling requirements
  Using a permanently affixed label, TWN4 Palon Compact LEGIC M Light must be labeled with its own FCC and IC identification numbers. In case this label is not visible anymore after integration of TWN4 Palon Compact LEGIC M Light in the host device, it is necessary to bring a label on the host device (on a visible and accessible place) stating the FCC and IC identification numbers of the integrated TWN4 Palon Compact LEGIC M Light:
  Contains FCC ID: WP5TWN4F11
  Contains IC: 7948A-TWN4F11
  In case several modules have been integrated into the host device, the label should state all FCC and IC identification numbers of the integrated modules.
  Example :
  “Contains FCC IDs: XXX-XXXXXXX, YYY-YYYYYYY, ZZZ-ZZZZZZZ”
  “Contains transmitter modules IC: XXXXX-XXXXXX, YYYYY-YYYYYY, ZZZZZ-ZZZZZZ”

• Compliance statements
  All statements listed in Chapter “Compliance statements” of this integration manual must be also listed in the user manual of the host device.

• Special accessories
  Where special accessories such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device.

• Simultaneous transmission
  When the host product supports simultaneous-transmission operations the host manufacturer needs to check if there are additional RF exposure filing requirements due to the simultaneous transmissions. When additional application filing for RF exposure compliance demonstration is not required (e. g. the RF module in combination with all simultaneously operating transmitters complies with the RF exposure simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion requirements), the host manufacturer may do his own evaluation without any filing, using reasonable engineering judgment and testing for confirming compliance with out-of-band, restricted band, and spurious emission requirements in the simultaneous-transmission operating modes. If additional filing is required please contact the person at ELATEC GmbH responsible for certification of the RF module.
