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 of the
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation
between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected. – Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

met.
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements This
transmitter is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition and any co-
located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) or portable use
will require a separate class II permissive change re-evaluation or new
certification.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer This transmitter module
is tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15
Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement applicable to the final

RTL8852BE User’s Manual
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
module installed.
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les
conditions suivantes: (Pour utilisation de dispositif module) 1) L’antenne
doit être installé et exploité avec plus de 20 cm entre l’antenne et les
utilisateurs, et
2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou
antenne.
Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires
sur l’émetteur ne seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l’intégrateur OEM est
toujours responsable des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de
conformité supplémentaires requis pour ce module installé.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then
the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC ID can not
be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will
be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter)
and obtaining a separate Canada authorization.
NOTE IMPORTANTE: Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites
(par exemple pour certaines configurations d’ordinateur portable ou de
certaines co-localisation avec un autre émetteur), l’autorisation du Canada
n’est plus considéré comme valide et l’ID IC ne peut pas être utilisé sur le
produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l’intégrateur OEM sera chargé de
réévaluer le produit final (y compris l’émetteur) et l’obtention d’une
autorisation distincte au Canada.
