Warning

FCC Statement:
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
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 equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 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 following 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 connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be provide with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Information for OEMs and host integrators
The OEM or integrator is obligated to adhere to these requirements and restrictions as a condition for using the module’s certification.
The OEM or integrator is responsible to perform the required additional host regulatory testing and/or obtaining the required host approvals for compliance.

2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
This module has been tested for compliance to FCC Part 15 Subpart C (15.247).
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions
The module is tested for standalone mobile RF exposure use condition. Any other usage conditions such as colocation with other transmitter(s) will need a separate reassessment through a class II permissive change application or new certification.

2.4 Limited module procedures
Not applicable, this device is a single modular approval and meets FCC 47 CFR 15.212 requirement.
2.5 Trace antenna designs
Not applicable. This module has its own antenna, and does not need a host’s printed board micro strip trace antenna, etc.
2.6 RF exposure considerations
This equipment complies with FCC mobile radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body.
A separate SAR/Power Density evaluation is required to confirm compliance with relevant FCC portable RF exposure rules.

2.7 Antennas
This module has been approved to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated.

No. Manufacturer Part No. Antenna Type Peak Gain (dBi) Freq. Range (GHz) Connector Type
1 Open Road
Solutions, Inc
66-040011 PIFA 3.3dBi 2.4GHz~2.5GHz None

IMPORTANT: The final host product must have an integral antenna which is not removable by the end-user.

2.8 Label and compliance information
Label of the end product:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: 2AS3E-CTEBT2”. The grantee’s FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met

2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
This transmitter is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition and any co-located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) class II permissive change re-evaluation or new certification.

2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this portion of rule requirements if applicable. As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.

OEM/Host manufacturer responsibilities
OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and EMF essential requirements of the FCC rules. This module must not be incorporated into any other device or system without retesting for compliance as multi-radio and combined equipment.

IC Statement:

CAN ICES-003(B) / NMB-003(B)
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada(ISED) Compliance Statement

This device complies with ISED’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with greater than 20cm between the radiator & your body.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
