The OEM of the APx4 Module must only use the approved antenna(s) described in Table 62 External Antenna
Parameters, which have been certified with this module.
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or
remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
12.3 IC
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
If detachable antennas are used:
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible
gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list,
having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. See Table 62 External Antenna Parameters for the approved antennas.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with Industry Canada Regulations
The APx4 Module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
 The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained
between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
 The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements
required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location
with another transmitter), then the Industry Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC
Certification Number cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be
responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Industry
Canada authorization.
End Product Labeling
The APx4 Module is labeled with its own IC Certification Number. If the IC Certification Number are not visible
when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is
installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must
be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5123A-BGTAPX4”
or
“Contains IC: 5123A-BGTAPX4”
