Antenna

(1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
(2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location

with another transmitter), then the FCC/IC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID/IC

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/IC

authorization.

To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF

radiation, maximum antenna gain (including cable loss) must not exceed

Note: “*” means when using higher gain antenna, the host manufacturer should reduce the conducted
power to meet the FCC maximum RF output power limit.
