** Can be approved for portable applications if integrator gains approval through SAR testing
MaxStream radio modems are pre-FCC approved for use in fixed base station and mobile applications. As long as the
antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons, the application is considered a mobile application. If the
antenna will be mounted closer than 20 cm to nearby persons, then the application is considered “portable” and requires an
additional test performed on the final product. This test is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and measures
the emissions from the radio modem and how they affect the person.
RF Exposure
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices, separation distances of (i)
20 centimeters or more for antennas with gains < 6 dBi or (ii) 2 meters or more for antennas with gains ≥ 6
dBi should be maintained between the antenna of this device and nearby persons during operation. To ensure
compliance, operation at distances closer than this is not recommended.
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for OEM products to alert users on
FCC RF Exposure compliance.
In order to fulfill the FCC Certification requirements, the OEM must comply with FCC regulations:
1. The system integrator must ensure that the text on the sample label is placed on the outside of the final product
[Figure 14].
2. The 9XStream-PKG-E Ethernet RF Modem (900 MHz) may be used only with Approved Antennas that have been
tested with this module. [Table 2]
