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 receiving module.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving module is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Antenna Warning
WARNING: This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the antennas listed in Table 1 below. When integrated into OEM
products,xedantennasrequireinstallationpreventingend-usersfromreplacingthemwithnon-approvedantennas.Antennasnotlistedinthetables
must be tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section 15.247 (emissions).

Portable Applications and SAR Testing
When the antenna is mounted closer than 20 cm to nearby persons, then the application is considered “portable” and requires an additional test be
performedonthenalproduct.ThistestiscalledtheSpecicAbsorptionRate(SAR)testingandmeasurestheemissionsfromthemoduleandhow

RF Exposure
(This statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals.)
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices. Antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed
to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
