The power setting must be no more than the above calculation value. 

Any 

higher is a violation of FCC rules. See IMPORTANT warning below:

  

 

OEMs must take precaution to satisfy the maximum RF exposure and EIRP 
maximum limits in accordance with the compliance limits herein. 
The conducted power is continuously variable from 0.001 to 1.0 Watt. For 
operations in mobile RF exposure conditions, the antenna(s) used for this 
transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 23 
cm from all persons with the maximum allowable antenna gains of 1.5 dBi 
(Quarter Wave), 2 dBi (Rubber Ducky), 5.15 dBi (Transit), 8.15 dBi (Omni 
Directional), 12.5 dBi (Patch) and 14.15 dBi (Yagi). For antennas with the 
gains greater 6dBi, the appropriate cable with loss in dB shall be used in 
order to maintain the EIRP (conducted powerin dBm + antenna gain in dBi 
cable loss in dB) less than 36 dBm. Antenna(s) used for this transmitter 
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna 
or transmitter.
