We offer free design in support, either to assist you or your third-party to ensure the correct placement and/or advice on how best an antenna should be supported. RF Line Out Option 2 x IPEX Option In order to get a better RF performance, please dont put any trace or copper plane under the Black frame of the module.

In this update we ensure all items in the BOM except the main IC, are components rated at -40c, the Realtek IC is made from material tested and approved for -30c, rated at 0 due to a range of factors, such as low demand for -40 compliance, cost of -40c rated material is approved and tested at -60c and is expensive to manage. Our products undergo an intensive test regime within which we temperature test and conduct a range of functions via our test program continuously for 72 hours at -40c, -20x 0c and 20c. If during this test we see no gradual drop off in performance and any initial drop off is less than 15% we will then pass the product as approved to support -20c. We provide warranty on all LM843 -20c products for 2 years. LM843 Page 8 of 12

Not applicable. Limited module procedures This product is a Single-modular transmitter. It is not a limited module. Not applicable. Trace antenna designs This product has an Integral antenna. Not applicable. RF exposure considerations This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and any part of your body. Antennas This product has an Integral antenna. Not applicable. Label and compliance information Remind end customers to add "Contain FCC ID: VVX-LM843". Information on test modes and additional testing requirements Contact LM Technologies Ltd. will provide stand-alone modular transmitter test mode. Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used in a host. Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Suppliers Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated with the host, LM Technologies Ltd. shall provide guidance to the host manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements.

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE 1: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This module certified that complies with RF exposure requirement under mobile or fixed condition, this module is to be installed only in mobile or fixed applications. A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitting devices designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as wireless devices associated with a personal computer, are considered to be mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. A fixed device is defined as a device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Note 2: Any modifications made to the module will void the Grant of Certification, this module is limited to OEM installation only and must not be sold to end-users, end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device, only software or operating procedure shall be placed in the end-user operating manual of final products. Note 3: Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used. Note 4: The module may be operated only with the antenna with which it is authorized. Any antenna that is of the same type and of equal or less directional gain as an antenna that is authorized with the intentional radiator may be marketed with, and used with, that intentional radiator. Note 5: To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Suppliers Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated with the host, LM Technologies Ltd. shall provide guidance to the host manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements.
