Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the
Laird Manufacturing Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the MSD45N
to account for higher antenna gain. In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification
efforts by using antennas that are of like type and equal or lesser gain to the above listed
antennas.
Documentation Requirements
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the Laird MSD45N into a host
device and leveraging Laird’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the
documentation requirements set forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following
sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European Union) outline the information that may be
included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host devices into which the MSD45N is
integrated.
FCC
Note: You must place “Contains FCC ID: SQG-MSD45N” on the host product in such a
location that it can be seen by an operator at the time of purchase.
