Antenna and LAYOUT considerations

The antenna is an important part of the communication system. Its performance directly affects the parameters of the communication system. The antenna impedance required by the module is 50 ohms.

The universal antenna has wires, and can also be used for SMA adapter straight/elbow/folding rods, small suction cups, etc. Users can purchase antennas according to their own application environment.

In order to make the module work optimally, it is recommended to use the company. Antenna provided.

• The following principles should be followed during antenna use to ensure the best
  communication distance of the module:

• The antenna should not be close to the ground surface, and the surrounding area should be kept away from obstacles;

• If the suction cup antenna is purchased, the lead wire should be straightened as much as possible, and the suction cup base should be attached to the metal object;

Statements

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.

RF exposure information: To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use the product that maintain a 20cm separation distance between the user’s body and the host.

MPE limit for RF exposure at prediction frequency is 1mW/cm2 for 2.4GHz. The MPE for 2.4GHz is 0.126mW/cm2. It satisfy RF exposure compliance.

CE:
This product can be used across EU member states.

EU Regulatory Conformance

Hereby, NiceRF Wireless Technology LTD. Corporation declares that this device is in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.

For the declaration of conformity, visit the Web site http://www.nicerf.com certification.

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 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:

In the event that 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 device where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end  product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains, FCC ID: 2AD66-LORA128XF27. The grantee’s FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.

OEM Integrators – End Product Manual Provided to the End User:

The OEM integrator shall not provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in end product user manual. The end user manual must include all required regulatory information and warnings as outlined in this document.
