14.1.2 RF Exposure
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. KDB 447498 General RF
Exposure Guidance provides guidance 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).
From the FCC Grant: Output power listed is conducted. This transmitter is restricted for use with the
specific antenna(s) tested in this application for Certification.
In the end product, the antenna(s) used with this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 6.5 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter. User and installers must be provided with antenna installation
instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying the RF exposure compliance.
14.1.3 Approved 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 provided the same antenna type and antenna gain (equal
to or less than) is used. An antenna type comprises antennas having similar in-band and out-of-band
radiation patterns.
Testing the ATWINC1500-MR210UB module was performed with the antenna types listed in Table 12-1.

14.2 Canada
The ATWINC1500-MR210PB, ATWINC1510-MR210PB, ATWINC1500-MR210UB, and ATWINC1510-
MR210UB modules have been certified for use in Canada under Innovation, Science, and Economic
Development Canada (ISED, formerly Industry Canada) Radio Standards Procedure (RSP) RSP-100,
Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-Gen and RSS-247. Modular approval permits the installation
of a module in a host device without the need to recertify the device.
14.2.1 Labeling and User Information Requirements
Labeling Requirements (from RSP-100 - Issue 11, Section 3): The host product shall be properly labeled
to identify the module within the host device.
The Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada certification label of a module shall be
clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device; otherwise, the host product must be labeled to
display the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada certification number of the module,
preceded by the word “Contains” or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows:
For the ATWINC1500-MR210PB:
Contains IC: 20266-WINC1500PB
For the ATWINC1510-MR210PB:
Contains IC: 20266-ATWINC1510
ATWINC15x0
