11.4 ISED Canada
ISED
This radio transmitter (IC: 5123A-WGM160P) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed above,
with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indi-
cated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
This device complies with ISED license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device
RF Exposure Statement
Exception from routine SAR evaluation limits are given in RSS-102 Issue 5.
The models WGM160P22A and WGM160P22N meet the given exemption requirements when the minimum separation distance to hu-
man body is 40 mm.
In other words, RF exposure or SAR evaluation is not required when the separation distance is same or more than stated above. If the
separation distance is less than stated above the OEM integrator is responsible for evaluating the SAR when using the module at its
highest transmission power.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with IC Regulations
The WGM160P modules have been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:
• The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance as stated above is maintained between the radiator (an-
tenna) and all persons at all times.
• The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still respon-
sible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital
device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE
In the event that these conditions cannot be met, then for the ISED authorization to remain valid the final product will have to undergo
additional testing to evaluate the RF exposure, and a permissive change will have to be applied with the help of the customer's own
Telecommunication Certification Body.
End Product Labeling
The WGM160P module is labeled with its own IC ID. If the IC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then
the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the
final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5123A-WGM160P ”
or
“Contains IC: 5123A-WGM160P”
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or
change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
