RF Exposure Statement

SAFETY: Limiting Exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation

All actively transmitting radio devices emit some form of electromagnetic radiation. Although

prolonged low-level exposure has not been shown to be harmful, the operator must fully understand

the risk of using an active device. The maximum radiated output power of this antenna

satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) limits as specified in §1.1310 of FCC

regulations, and RSS-102 (2.5.1) of ISED regulations. To minimize exposure, it is advised that

the operator avoid being within a x mm distance of the radiating area for prolonged durations

(hours).

(Insert a drawing of the specific product highlighting the radiating area here.)

7 Antennas

The radio module is only certified for certain antennas. The module expects a 50-ohm

impedance antenna to be connected to the Antenna port and this condition is met for antennas

1, 2 and 4 from Table 1 of this document. Antennas 3 and 5 require a matching circuit placed

close to the antenna on the host board.

The connection between module’s antenna port and the antenna or the antenna matching circuit

is made with a coaxial cable having UFL connectors at both ends or a coaxial cable with a UFL

connector at one end and a SMA connector at the other end.

The matching circuit must be as close to the soldering point of the antenna as possible and as

small in its mechanical area as possible. A good starting point is the ANT7020LL05R2400A data

sheet. Cooper Industries (electrical) Inc. offers guidance on how to design the matching circuit.
