WG225 series modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices and require special precautions while handling.

ESD precautions
The WG225 module contains highly sensitive electronic circuitry and is an Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD).
Handling the WG225 module without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage them permanently.
The WG225 module is an electrostatic-sensitive device (ESD) and requires special ESD precautions typically applied to ESD-sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling, transportation, and operation of any application that incorporates the WG225 module. Don’t touch the module by hand or solder with a non-anti-static soldering iron to avoid damage to the module.

FCC Regulatory Compliance:
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: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to 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 in accordance with 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.

commercial use.
The connector is within the transmitter enclosure and can only be accessed by disassembly of the transmitter which is not normally required. The user has no access to the connector.
Installation must be controlled. Installation requires special training.
Any company of the host device which installs this modular with unlimited modular approval should perform the test of radiated & conducted emission and spurious emission,  etc.
according to FCC part 15C: 15.407 and15.203 & 15.207, 15B Class B requirement, only if the tests result complies with FCC part 15C: 15.407 and 15.203 & 15.207, 15B Class B
requirement, then the host can be sole legally.
