Page 2 of 9
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION: (this only applicable to 5GHz device)
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for frequency range 5.15
to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to
5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this
device.
System integrators must include the FCC ID on the end product.
FCC Radio-Frequency Exposure & Approval Conditions:
1. For mobile applications:
Antennas must be installed in the display section of Netbook/notebook/laptop computer
to provide at least 20cm separation distance from the transmitting antenna to the body of
user during normal operating condition.
For portable applications:
-Antennas must be installed in the display section or underneath the keyboard in
Netbook/notebook/laptop computers to provide at least 5mm separation distance from the
transmitting antenna to the body of user , or any other person during normal operating
condition. Configuration in tablets must be with at least 10mm antenna-to-enclosure
separation distance.
-The WLAN antennas used must be the same antennas as in this filing. The distance
between two antennas (Chain 1 and Chain 2) is 5cm.
- For standalone SAR testing, the antenna is mounted on lossless foam material for
testing. In order to use Broadcom modular approval, PC–OEMs must install antennas
with non–conductive materials surrounding the antenna.
2. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter within a host device, except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
3. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC
ID: QDS-BRCM1084 “or using electronic labeling method as documented in KDB
784748.
