LIST OF ANTENNAS

The modular transmitter exclusively uses the chip antenna 450AT18A100 manufactured by Johanson Technology, Inc. This chip antenna is integrated on the modular transmitter board as part of the assembly. For details of the specifications see the appropriate datasheet. Using another antenna voids the FCC authorization to operate the modular transmitter.

RF EXPOSURE CONSIDERATIONS

The modular transmitter should not be used within 5 mm of the human body (closest separation between the radiating parts of the device (e.g. antenna) and the user or nearby persons) This device complies with the RF exposure SAR test exclusion requirements for portable devices if a minimum separation distance of 5 mm is kept. It also 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.

Note:
In (2) the text “if a minimum separation distance of 5 mm is kept” may be omitted if this distance is already kept by installation e.g. into a cabinet.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer:
The modular transmitter is FCC authorized for the specific rule parts listed on the grant, only. The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.

CANADA :
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause interference; and
This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the 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 the 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 the certification of the RF module.

The end device must be labeled with:
