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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users 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 in stallation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordan ce with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that int erference 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 inter ference 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. Important Note:
Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment sho uld be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the US/Canada. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1. The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and 2. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna, 3. For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied fir mware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change. (i f modular only test Channel 1-11) As long as the three conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrat or is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module in stalled. Important Note:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another tra nsmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In t hese circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) a nd obtaining a separate FCC authorization. End Product Labeling The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following" Contains FCC ID: 2A3VE-TCM-F401-W4S ". Manual Information to the End User The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual. Antenna information The Wireless Communication Modules has been designed to pass certification with the antenna listed below. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. ISED Statement
- English: This device complies with Industry Canada licenseexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must a ccept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This radio transmitter (ISED certification number: 28014-TCMF401W4S) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Le prsent metteur radio (ISED certification number: 28014-TCMF401W4S) a t approuv par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne numrs ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, et dont le gain est suprieur au gain maximal indiqu, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'metteur. Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. Dclaration d'exposition aux radiations Cet quipement est conforme Canada limites d'exposition aux radiations dans un environnement non contrl. Cet quipement doit tre install et utilis distance minimum de 20cm entre le radiateur et votre corps. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following condition:
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as the condition above is met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. Cet appareil est conu uniquement pour les intgrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes:
Le module metteur peut ne pas tre complant avec un autre metteur ou antenne. Tant que les 1 condition ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplmentaires sur l'metteur ne seront pas ncessaires. Toutefois, l'intgrateur OEM est toujours responsable des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de conformit supplmentaires requis pour ce module install. Important Note:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC 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 Canada authorization. Note Importante:
Dans le cas o ces conditions ne peuvent tre satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre metteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considr comme valide et l' IC ne peut pas tre utilis sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intgrateur OEM sera charg de rvaluer le produit final (y compris l'metteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte au Canada. End Product Labeling The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: Contains IC: 28014-TCMF401W4S. Plaque signaltique du produit final Le produit final doit tre tiquet dans un endroit visible avec l'inscription suivante: Contient des IC: 28014-TCMF401W4S Manual Information to the End User The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual. Manuel d'information l'utilisateur final L'intgrateur OEM doit tre conscient de ne pas fournir des informations l'utilisateur final quant la faon d'installer ou de supprimer ce module RF dans le manuel de l'utilisateur du produit final qui intgre ce module. Le manuel de l'utilisateur final doit inclure toutes les informations rglementaires requises et avertissements comme indiqu dans ce manuel.
