3.1.2 RF EXPOSURE
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF
exposure requirements. OET Bulletin 65, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, provides
assistance in determining whether proposed or existing
transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply
with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and
suggestions for evaluating compliance.
If appropriate, compliance with exposure guidelines for
mobile and unlicensed devices can be accomplished
by the use of warning labels and by providing users
with information concerning minimum separation dis-
tances from transmitting structures and proper installa-
tion of antennas.
The following statement must be included as a CAU-
TION statement in manuals and OEM products to alert
users of FCC RF exposure compliance:
If the RN-41/RN-41N module is used in a portable
application (i.e., the antenna is less than 20 cm from
persons during operation), the integrator is responsible
for performing Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing
in accordance with FCC rules 2.1091.
3.1.3 APPROVED EXTERNAL ANTENNA
TYPES
To maintain modular approval in the United States, only
the antenna types that have been tested shall be used.
It is permissible to use different antenna manufacturer
provided the same antenna type and antenna gain
(equal to or less than) is used.
Testing of the RN-41N module was performed with the
antenna types listed in Ta b l e 2-3 .

3.2 Canada
The RN-41/RN-41N module has been certified for use
in Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Stan-
dards Specification (RSS) RSS-210 and RSSGen.
Modular approval permits the installation of a module in
a host device without the need to recertify the device.
3.2.1 LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Sec-
tion 3.2.1, RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010): The
host device shall be properly labeled to identify the
module within the host device.
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 equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency 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 follow-
ing 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 con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile
and base station transmission devices, a separation
distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained
between the antenna of this device and persons dur-
ing operation. To ensure compliance, operation at
closer than this distance is not recommended.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
