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. 

11.4

 

FCC and ISED Compliance 

If the modem’s anten

na is located farther than 20cm from the human body and there are no adjacent 

transmitters, the FCC and ISED approvals of the modem’s Telit ME301G1

-W1 cellular module can be 

reused by the end product. 

If the modem’s antenn

a is mounted closer than 20cm from the human body, or if there are adjacent 

transmitters, additional FCC/ISED testing may be required for the end device.
