* It is advantageous to use the smallest Channel Bandwidth that can support the Throughput requirements. Smaller Bandwidths
provide more channels to choose and help avoid interference issues. The system's SNR is higher at smaller Channel Bandwidths and Range is longer.

** Throughput of a wireless link depends on many environmental parameters. Here the bench measurement results are shown to give an indication of the real life performance of Doodle Labs modules. These results are lower than the theoretical values published in most of the literature. They do not include distance related derating.

FCC Statement FCC standards: FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.247 External antenna with gain ANT0: 7dBi, ANT1: 7dBi FCC Regulatory Compliance: 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. Note: 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. Warning: changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. If power exceeds the limit and the distance(Over 20cm distance in actual use between the device and user) is compliance with the requirement RF Exposure Compliance: This equipment complies with FCC 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 and any part of your body. Notice to OEM integrator If the FCC ID is 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. The end product shall haves the words "Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AG87ACM-DB-2M". The device must be professionally installed. The intended use is generally not for the general public.
