INTEGRATION GUIDE
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.
3. Note that per FCC Part 15 rules pertaining to unlicensed transmitters, the host
device must be equipped with a unique antenna connector. Compliance with
47 CFR 15.203 does not permit the use of standard connectors such as N,
BNC, SMA, TNC, etc.
4. The modular transmitter has been tested to the following FCC rules:
a. FCC 15.212
b. FCC 15.407
c. KDB 447498
d. CFR 47 Part 1.1310
