Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmision is always initiated by software, which is then passed down
through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the
RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only
ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it
then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on
only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other
words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either
absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
Frequency Tolerance: +/-20 p.p.m.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. To access Device Compliance Information for FCC
and IC, click on the “i” in the upper left hand corner of the Home Screen on
the CAPXS.
