FCC notices
IMPORTANT:
The ConnectCore 6 Plus module has been certified by the FCC for use with other
products without any further certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Modifications not expressly
approved by Digi could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT:
OEMs must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC section 15.107
& 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
IMPORTANT:
The ConnectCore 6 Plus module has been certified for remote and base radio
applications. If the module will be used for portable applications, the device must undergo SAR testing.
This equipment 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
radiate 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: Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna, Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver, Connect equipment and receiver to outlets on different circuits, or Consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC-approved antennas
The ConnectCore 6 Plus can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with non-standard
connectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, and so on).
The modules are FCC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications for the channels
indicated in the tables below. If the antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons, the
application is considered a mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to
comply with FCC Section 15.203 (Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 (Emissions).
A concrete antenna, detailed in the table below, has been used to certify the ConnectCore 6 Plus
wireless module. This antenna can be replaced by others, however further certification testing is
required. The number of tests to be carried out can be decreased by using an antenna of the same
type, i.e. dualband omnidirectional dipole, showing lower peak gain. In such case, only a spot check
may be required by the certification laboratories to keep current certifications valid according to FCC
regulations. If replacing by an antenna with higher gain, e.g. >2.5 dBi at 2.4 GHz band, complete
radiated tests according to FCC regulations are required by the certification laboratories.
