Cet émetteur ne doit pas être installé ou utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur. Afin d’éviter la possibilité de dépasser les limites d’exposition aux radiofréquences FCC et ISED, cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec une distance minimale de 20 cm (7.9 pouces) entre l’antenne et votre corps pendant le fonctionnement normal. Les utilisateurs doivent suivre les instructions spécifiques d’utilisation pour respecter la conformité à l’exposition aux RF.
6. Regulatory Notices
FCC Certification Requirements.
According to FCC Part 2.1091(b), this device qualifies as a mobile device. The following conditions must be met:
1. Modular Approval is limited to OEM installation for mobile and fixed applications only. The antenna installation and operating configurations–including any applicable source-based time averaging duty factor, antenna gain, and cable loss–must satisfy the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of §2.1091.
2. The device must maintain a minimum separation of 20 cm between the user and the equipment. It must not transmit simultaneously with any other antenna or transmitter.
3. A label must be affixed to the host end-product stating: “This device contains FCC ID: 2BOIM-FC900.”

_______________________________________________________________________________
5. The host end-product must include a user manual that clearly outlines the operating requirements and conditions necessary to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For portable devices, in addition to conditions 35 above, a separate approval is required to meet the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093. If the device is used in other equipment or configurations (e.g., portable use or different antenna setups), separate approval is also required.
OEM integrators must be provided with labeling instructions for finished products. Refer to KDB 784748 D01 v07, Section 8 (pages 67) for guidance. A certified module may use either a permanently affixed label or an electronic label. If the FCC ID is not visible once installed, an additional label must state: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2BOIM-FC900” or “Contains FCC ID: 2BOIM-FC900.”
The host user manual must also explain how end users can locate or access the module and its FCC ID.
The final host/module combination may also require evaluation under FCC Part 15B for unintentional radiators. The user manual must caution that unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: If the manual is provided digitally (e.g., via disk or online), the required information must still be accessible to the user.
FCC Part 15 Compliance Statement
This equipment has been tested and complies 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 residential installations.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used according to the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If interference does occur, users are encouraged to try the following:
