Approved Antenna Types and Maximum Gain Values
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
•
Install the antenna so that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and user.
•
Do not co-locate the transmitter module with any other transmitter or antenna.
•
Operate the radio transmitter using only an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved
by TI.
lists the antennas approved by TI for use with the radio transmitter along with maximum
allowable gain values. Antenna types not included in the list or having a gain greater than the
maximum indicated are strictly prohibited for use with this transmitter

NOTE:
If these conditions cannot be met (for example, with certain laptop configurations or co-
location with another transmitter), the FCC/IC authorization will not be considered valid and
the FCC ID/IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator is responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and
obtaining a separate FCC/IC authorization.
