7 Antenna Placement Inside the Host
System and RF Safety
The FCC and other countries’ regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the
radio frequency (RF) exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this
Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host
system, and the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user. OEM integrators
must take great care to ensure each host system complies with the applicable RF exposure
requirements.
NOTE: For mobile devices: The antenna-to-user separation distance must be greater than 20 cm.
WARNING: Failure to adhere to these separation/spacing rules will invalidate the FCC certification for the
Module.
Separation is measured between the closest point of each transmitting antenna inside the host
device to the point of contact by the user or nearby person outside of the host device.
When transmitting antennas are installed in the display section of
notebooks/netbooks/laptops, the display section shall not have metallic components and
material that can influence or change the operating and RF exposure characteristics of the
antennas.
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
Where one or more of the conditions above cannot be met for a particular host system, additional
testing will be required to secure the necessary certifications for the system.
Contact your QTI account representative with any questions regarding compliance of the host
system(s) with these restrictions.
NOTE: These restrictions do not apply to receive-only antennas.
