The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed and operated 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. Installers must ensure that 20cm separation distance will be maintained between the device and users.
DÉCLARATION D'IC SUR L'EXPOSITION AUX RADIATIONS:
Cet appareil est conforme aux limites d'exposition au rayonnement RF stipulées par la FCC et l'IC pour une utilisation dans un environnement non contrôlé. Les antennes utilisées pour cet émetteur doivent être installées et doivent fonctionner à au moins 20 cm de distance des utilisateurs et ne doivent pas être placées près d'autres antennes ou émetteurs ou fonctionner avec ceux-ci. Les installateurs doivent s'assurer qu'une distance de 20 cm sépare l'appareil des utilisateurs.

- Contains IC : 20778-AEHW4G2
5.8 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements:
When testing host product, the host manufacturer should follow FCC KDB Publication 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide for testing the host products. The host manufacturer may operate their product during the measurements. In setting up the configurations, if the pairing and call box options for testing does not work, then the host product manufacturer should coordinate with the module manufacturer for access to test mode software. For wireless LAN, the product under test is set into a link/association with a partnering WLAN device, as per the normal intended use of the product. To ease testing, the product under test is set to transmit at a high duty cycle, such as by sending a file or streaming some media content. Alternatively, a Wi-Fi test set may be used. Simultaneously transmitting modules installed in the host should be all active.
5.9 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer:
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (FCC Part 15.247) listed on the grant, and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed when contains digital circuitry.
