FCC Statement

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.
Caution : Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
• 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.

RF exposure considerations
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and it also complies with Part 15 of FCC RF Rules. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20mm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
To be used in any other way, such as mobile to portable or with other transmitters simultaneously, requires additional evaluation, testing, or testing and Class 2 permissive change.

Antennas
There are two antennas, type: PCB antenna, gain is as below:

Label and compliance information
Labelling Instruction for Host Product Integrator
Please notice that if the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains FCC ID: TN7-AP6398SV” any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.

NOTE
To satisfy FCC exterior labeling requirements, the following text must be placed on the exterior of the end product Contains Transmitter module FCC ID:

Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Test modes should take into consideration different operational conditions for a standalone modular transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host product.
Use the software RTLBTAPP to set the max power, OBW and another test parameter.
The host must Comply with Part 15 Subpart B.

Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
This module complies with FCC part 15. 247, if it is installed in a host device, 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. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15 Subpart B compliant (when it also contains unintentional radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.

Note EMI Considerations
The host manufacturer is recommended to use the D04 Module Integration Guide recommending as “best practice” RF design engineering testing and evaluation in case non-linear interactions generate additional non-compliant limits due to module placement to host components or properties
Use the software RTLBTAPP to set the max power, OBW and other test parameter.
For standalone mode, reference the guidance in D04 Module Integration Guide and for simultaneous mode see D02 Module Q&A Question 12, which permits the host manufacturer to confirm compliance.

How to make changes
This module is not permitted to change.
