Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Compliance Notice
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 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.
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.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
RF Exposure Information
To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure requirements for mobile
transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or installed
at locations where there is at least 20 cm separation distance
between the antenna and all persons. To comply with FCC/IC RF
exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure, the
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.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
This Device complies with Industry Canada License-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference,
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful communication. The
radio transmitters IC: 10248A-WICHTO01 have been approved by
Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with
the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for
each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list,
having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type,
are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Planar F 4.2 50
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure
limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter
must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm
is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all
times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC and
Industry Canada Regulations
1. The WICHTO01 Modules have been certied for integration into
products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation
distance of 20 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna)
and all persons at all times.
2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter
testing 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 (for example, digital
device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met
(for certain congurations or co-location with another transmitter),
then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer
considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certication Number
cannot be used on the nal product. In these circumstances, the
OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and Industry
Canada authorization.
End Product Labeling
The WICHTO01 Modules are labeled with FCC ID and IC Certication
Number. If the FCC ID and IC Certication Number are 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. In that case, the nal end
product must be labeled in a visible area or display the following:
“Contains FCC ID: A5UWICHTO01”
“Contains IC: 10248A-WICHTO01”
The OEM of the WICHTO01 Module must only use the approved
antenna(s), which have been certied with this module. The OEM
integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF
related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
The user manual for the end product must include the following
information in a prominent location:
“To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure
limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter
must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm
is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all
times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.”
