Since this module and its associated set of approved antenna has been certified as a Modular Radio, this allows to integrate this module into an end-product and only be responsible for the Unintentional Emissions levels produced by the product. The manufacturer of the module is the responsible for the compliance of the Intentional Emissions produced by the module, as long as, the recommendations presented in this application guide. 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. 3.2 Module Integration Considerations Antenna Systems The module must be used with one of the approved antennas:
Name Technology Frequency Peak Gain Connector BTFA-2450 Inverted-F 2.4 2.5GHz 2 dBi U.FL Ethertronics 1000146 Isolated Magnetic Dipole 2.4 2.49GHz 2.7 dBi U.FL The antennas should place such that they are minimally disturbed by the products packaging material. The incorporation of the largest practical free-space clearance around the antenna is important for maximizing overall performance. The clearances associated with the SAR compliance must be maintained. Les antennes doivent placer de telle sorte qu'ils sont trs peu perturbes par le matriau d'emballage du produit. L'incorporation de la plus grande clairance pratique espace libre autour de l'antenne est important pour optimiser la performance globale. Les dgagements associs la conformit SAR doivent tre maintenus Version:

Le module doit utiliser le firmware spcifique prvue par Leica Geosystems AG pour le module . This firmware includes:
Binary image ini.ini. configuration file. 3.4 Testing Requirements for End-Product Once the module is integrated and the product realized, the product must be tested and follow the verification process for Unintentional Conducted and Radiated Emissions in accordance to the FCC guidelines. The module is to be placed in the receive mode for this test. 3.5 Marking Requirements for End-Product and Compliance Statements. 3.5.1 Federal Communication Commission Interference 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 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 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. to which the receiver is connected. 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Version:

(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in 3.2 Module Integration Considerations Antenna Systems, and having a maximum gain of 2 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 2dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. L'opration est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut pas provoquer d'interfrences et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interfrence, y compris les interfrences qui peuvent causer un mauvais fonctionnement de l'appareil. Pour rduire le risque d'interfrence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent tre choisis de manire que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (PIRE) ne dpasse pascelle permise pour une communication russie. Cet appareil a t conu pour fonctionner avec l'antenne (s) ci 3.2 Module Integration Considerations Antenna Systems, et ayant un gain maximum de 2 dBi. Antennes pas inclus dans cette liste ou ayant un gain suprieur 2dBi sont strictement interdits pour une utilisation avec cet appareil. L'impdance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms. 3.5.3 Responsibilities to comply with FCC and Industry Canada Regulations The TiWi Module has been certified for integration into products only by Leica Geosystems AG or Hexagon AB under the following conditions:
1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times. 2. 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 integrator is still responsible 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 (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the final product.

Le module de TIWI a t certifi pour l'intgration dans des produits uniquement par des intgrateurs Leica Geosystems AG ou Hexagon AB dans les conditions suivantes:
Tant que les deux conditions prcites sont runies, les tests de transmetteurs supplmentaires ne seront pas tenus. Toutefois, l'intgrateur OEM est toujours responsable de tester leur produit final pour toutes les exigences de conformit supplmentaires requis avec ce module install (par exemple, les missions appareil numrique, les exigences de priphriques PC, etc.) NOTE IMPORTANTE: Dans le cas o ces conditions ne peuvent tre satisfaites (pour certaines configurations ou de co-implantation avec un autre metteur), puis la FCC et Industrie autorisations Canada ne sont plus considrs comme valides et l'ID de la FCC et IC numro de certification ne peut pas tre utilis sur la produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intgrateur OEM sera charg de rvaluer le produit final (y compris l'metteur) et l'obtention d'un distincte de la FCC et Industrie Canada l'autorisation. 3.5.4 End Product Labeling The TIWI Module is labeled with its own FCC ID and IC Certification Number. If the FCC ID and IC Certification Number are 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 FCC ID: RFD-BTWCO Contains Transmitter Module IC: 3177A-BTWCO or Contains FCC ID: RFD-BTWCO Contains IC: 3177A-BTWCO The integrator of the TIWI Module must only use the approved antenna(s) listed above, which have been certified with this module. If another antenna is used please contact the QE of Leica Geosystems AG for further steps. Le module de TiWi-R2 est tiquet avec son propre ID de la FCC et IC numro de certification. L'ID de la FCC et IC numros de certification ne sont pas visibles lorsque le module est install l'intrieur d'un autre appareil, comme par exemple le terminal dans lequel le module est install doit afficher Version:
