5.1 Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to describe which behavior the user MUST have in order to
operate the device under compliance with current regulations. The details described here
are then to be read carefully and applied literally. Also, please read carefully all the other
documentation available in order to understand all the limits and ensure compliance of
the final application.
The module EMB-LR1302-mPCIe will be certified for CE, FCC and IC compliance. The
different regulations have different limitations and impose different approaches to the
module that will be discussed in different chapters. Any aspect that both the regulations
have in common will be described in an appropriate chapter in order to keep readability
of this document at maximum.
The main aspect that the user MUST consider is the output power. The module itself is
compliant and ready to be used but care must be taken in setting an appropriate output
power when programming the devices. The module can output up to 27 dBm of conducted
power. Please follow the directives in this document to set the appropriate output power
for the antenna you are using. Any other antenna that is not covered in the certification
must not be used unless a new certification is performed.
5.2 Compliance: Important information
