Federal Communication Commission Interference StatementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 ofthe FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residentialinstallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is noguarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference toradio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to tryto correct the interference by one 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.FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate this equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This devicemay not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference thatmay cause undesired operation.For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is notpossible.This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor environment only.IMPORTANT NOTE:FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipmentshould be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.IMPORTANT NOTE: This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCCcompliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module. 20cm minimum distance has to be able to bemaintained between the antenna and the users for the host this module is integrated into. Under such configuration, theFCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. Any changes ormodifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT: In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed tokeep at least 20cm separation with the antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to beinformed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. The end userhas to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user'sauthority to operate this equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19statement is required to be available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation issubject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must acceptany interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID: RRK-WUSND02 ". If thesize of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the following FCC part 15.19 statement has to also be available on thelabel: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this devicemay not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference thatmay cause undesired operation.This device should be installed in AP/Router/Printer to make sure it could keep 20cm away from the users.
