not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely 
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference 
at his own expense. 

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following condition: - The 
transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 
the condition above is met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM 
integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance 
requirements required with this module installed. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

In the event that this condition cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or 
colocation with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid 
and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM 
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and 
obtaining a separate FCC authorization. 

Manual Information to the End User: 

The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how 
to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates 
this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as 
show in this manual.
