n920BT Regulatory Requirements 

 
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY 

 

 WARNING

:   

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 23 cm or 
more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To 
ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended.  The antenna used for this 
transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 

 

 

 WARNING

:   

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and 
(2) this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired 
operation. 
 

 WARNING

:   

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Microhard Systems Inc. could void the user’s authority 
to operate the equipment. This device has been tested with MMCX connectors with the antennas listed in 
Appendix A When integrated in OEM products, fixed antennas require installation preventing end-users 
from replacing them with non-approved antennas. Antennas not listed in the tables must be tested to comply 
with FCC Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section 15.247 (emissions). 
 

 WARNING

MAXIMUM EIRP 
FCC Regulations allow up to 36 dBm equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).  Therefore, the sum 
of the transmitted power (in dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain cannot exceed 36 dBm.   
 

 WARNING

EQUIPMENT LABELING 
The FCC and IC numbers depend on the model of the radio module. Do NOT use the Marketing 
Name of the product but the Model to distinguish the Certifications Numbers.  This device has 
been modularly approved.  The manufacturer, product name, and FCC and Industry Canada 
identifiers of this product must appear on the outside label of the end-user equipment. 

 
 

SAMPLE LABEL REQUIREMENT for Model: n920BT: 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Contains:    

FCC ID: NS908P25     IC : 3143A-08P25 

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) this device must accept any interference 
received including interference that may cause 
undesired operation.
