Additional information on labeling and user information
requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB
Publication 784748, available at the FCC Office of

11.1.2 RF EXPOSURE
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF
exposure requirements. KDB Publication 447498
General RF Exposure Guidance provides guidance in
determining whether proposed or existing transmitting
facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for
human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Output power listed is conducted. This grant is valid
only when the module is sold to OEM integrators and
must be installed by the OEM or OEM integrators. This
transmitter is restricted for use with the specific
antenna(s) tested in this application for Certification
and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitters within a host
device, except in accordance with FCC multitransmitter
product procedures. This module is approved for
installation into mobile or/and portable host platforms.
11.1.3 APPROVED ANTENNAS
To maintain modular approval in the United States, only
the antenna types that have been tested shall be used.
It is permissible to use different antenna, provided it is
the same antenna type, antenna gain (equal to or less
than) with similar in-band and out-of band characteristics
(refer to specification sheet for cutoff frequencies).
For RN4870, the approval is received using the
antenna listed in
Figure 8-1 .
For RN4871, the approval is received using the
antenna listed in
Figure 8-2 .

11.2 Canada
The RN4870/71 module has been certified for use in
Canada under Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED, formerly Industry
Canada) Radio Standards Procedure (RSP) RSP-100,
Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-247 and
RSS-Gen. Modular approval permits the installation of
a module in a host device without the need to recertify
the device.
11.2.1 LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
Labeling requirements for the host product (from
RSP-100, Issue 12, Section 5): The host product shall
be properly labeled to identify the module within the
host device.
On the RN4871, due to the limited module size, the IC
identifier is displayed in the data sheet only and it
cannot be displayed on the module label.
The Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly
visible at all times when installed in the host device;
otherwise, the host device must be labeled to display
the Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada certification number of the module, preceded
the same meaning, as follows:
For the RN4870 module:
For the RN4871 module:
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 equip-
ment 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:
and receiver.
