LoRa1276 CI 8. Antenna Antenna is very important for RF communication, its performance will affect the communication directly. Module needs antenna in 50ohm. Common antenna has rubber straight/ elbow/ foldable rod and sucker antenna and etc. Users can order accordingly. To ensure module in the best performance, we suggest to use our antennas:
To ensure modules get the best performance, user must obey the following principles when using the antennas Put the antenna away from the ground and obstacles as possible as you could If you choose the wire antenna, pull straight the lead wire as possible as it can be. 2021 B.

FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna 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 RF Exposure Information and Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC 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 undesirable operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by B. Thermal Solutions Srl could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Make sure that in the final application there is a distance of at least 12mm between the antenna and the skin of the user. Instructions to the OEM/Integrator This module has been granted modular approval for mobile and portable applications. OEM integrators for host products may use the module in their final products without additional FCC certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, Additional FCC approvals must be obtained. The OEM must comply with the FCC labeling requirements. If the modules label is not visible when installed, then an additional permanent label must be applied on the outside of the finished product which states: Contains transmitter module FCC ID: 2A2D3-LORA1276. Additionally, the following statement should be included on the label and in the final products user manual:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interferences, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The users manual for the host product must clearly indicate the operating requirements and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure guidelines. The final host / module combination may also need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device. This Module is full modular approval, it is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module. The Grantee will provide guidance to the Host Manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements if requested. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Important Note:
In the event that the above conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. End Product Labeling The LoRa 1276 CI is labeled with her own FCC ID. If the FCC 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 FCC ID: 2A2D3-LORA1276"
