6.1.2. FCC Declaration of Conformity Statement
These paragraphs must be included in any end-user documentation.
This device complies with Part 15 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 equipment
has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
residential or oce environment. This equipment generates, uses, and radiates radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit dierent from which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
WARNING: This Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating at this frequency when
using PCTEL approved antennas. The Federal Communications Commission warns that any changes or modications to this
radio module not expressly approved by PCTEL, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
6.1.3. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This paragraph must be included in any end-user documentation.
The PCTEL RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-US has been evaluated for RF exposure for Humans in reference to ANSI C 95.1 (American
National Standards Institute) limits. The evaluation was based on ANSI C 95.1 and FCC OET Bulletin 65C Rev 1.01. To comply
with FCC’s RF radiation exposure requirements, the antennas used for this device must be installed such that the minimum
separation distance of 7.87 inches (20 cm) is maintained between the radiating elements (antennas) and any users or general
bystanders at all times and the antennas must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antennas or
transmitters.
Further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product/antennas are kept as far as possible from the user’s body or is set
to a lower RF output power if such a function is available.
6.1.4. Factors Aecting Module Usage Related to FCC Compliance
The RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-US radio module has been certied by the FCC under the rules for a Modular Transmitter. There are
some considerations that are important for the end user or integrator of the module:
1. A module extends to the host manufacturer the ability to market an end-product without the burden of ling a certication
application for the RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-US, which has already been certied as a modular transmitter per FCC 15.407. It
does not allow a host manufacturer or integrator the convenience to simply use the module without any further testing
and evaluation. The combination of host + radio module must be evaluated for continued compliance in that specic
conguration. It is the responsibility of the integrator to carry out the required host product verication testing. PCTEL can
advise the integrator on test setup and utilities for the and test that require radio control.
2. The RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-US has been certied with its shield in place on the top side of the circuit board. The shield cannot
be removed.
