FCC Regulations  

  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. 

  This device 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 equipment generates, uses and can radiated 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: 

   -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 
   -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 
   -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 
   -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

 

 

    Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the   
    equipment. 

  The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 

  RF Exposure Information (SAR)  

    This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. 
    This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal     
    Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.   

 

 

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  The SAR limit set by the 
FCC is 1.6W/kg.  *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified 
power level in all tested frequency bands.  Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while 
operating can be well below the maximum value.  This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser 
required to reach the network.  In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. 

 

 

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.18 W/kg for PCS 
Body SAR and 0.066 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR.  

 

 

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. 
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure 
guidelines.  SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after 
searching on FCC ID: BDN3GM1086 

 

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and 
the positions the handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body.  Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. 

 

This USB dongle transmitter is approved for use in typical laptop computers. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this USB dongle should not 
be used in other devices or certain laptop and tablet computer configurations where the USB connectors on the host computer are unable to provide or 
ensure the necessary operating configurations intended for the device and its users or bystanders to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements.
