Module User Requirements 4.1 This module must be integrated into a device where the user cannot access the antenna connector. 4.2 Only a 1.3dBi antenna can be used with this module. The antenna must meet and not exceed the gain and pattern of the supplied folded dipole antenna. 4.3 The device must contain the following permanent labeling on the exterior of the device as follows:
Contains FCC ID: BRWWACO1T Contains IC: 6157A-WACO1T 4.4 The user manual of the device must contain the following paragraph:
FCC rules FCC part 15C 15.249 Antenna Integral Solder 1/4 Wave Antenna Antenna gain :1.3dBi Page 3 of 4 FCC 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 undesired operation. Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Note: 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:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 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 Radiation Exposure Statement This modular complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. If the FCC identification number 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. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: BRWWACO1T Or Contains FCC ID: BRWWACO1T When the module is installed inside another device, the user manual of the host must contain below warning statements;
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The devices must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any company of the host device which install this modular with limit modular approval should perform the test of radiated & conducted emission and spurious emission,etc. according to FCC part 15C : 15.249 and 15.209 &
15.207 ,15B Class B requirement, Only if the test result comply with FCC part 15C : 15.249 and 15.209 &
15.207 ,15B Class B requirementthen the host can be sold legally.
