The module supports all mandatory and some of the optional operations described in the EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 specification. The module is characteristic of its small form factor, low power consumption and easy integration. These features make it ideal for embedded applications powered from a single USB port or from a battery. The recommended way to start development with the mURM module is to use the mURM Evaluation Board. The mURM Evaluation Board has plenty of I/O pins, push buttons, LEDs, a buzzer and the possibility of communication via USB or RS232. 4 2 Regulatory statements FCC:

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 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC. 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 5 could void the users authority to operate the equipment. This transmitter module is authorized to be used in other devices only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:

1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 3mm (in case of the antenna model DAE915R7865AGDZ1-T) or 15mm (in case of the antenna model DAE915R3540CGDD3-T) is maintained between the radiator (antenna) &

users/nearby peoples body at all times. 2. The transmitter module must not be co-located with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing 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 (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). Note:

In the event that these 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 reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. 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 user manual of the end product. User Manual Requirement The user manual for the end product must include the following information in a prominent location:

To comply with FCCs RF radiation exposure requirements, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of <xx> mm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) & users/nearby peoples body at all times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

<xx> value can be found in the Table 11: Permitted antenna models based on the used antenna model. AND The transmitting portion of this device carries with it the following two warnings:

This device complies with Part 15.... AND Any changes or modifications to the transmitting module not expressly approved by TSS COMPANY s.r.o. could void the users authority to operate this equipment 6 End Product Labelling The final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following:

Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AK7JMURMV2 or Contains FCC ID: 2AK7JMURMV2 Industry Canada Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter [IC: 22603-MURMV2] has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (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 isotropic ally 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 Table 11: Permitted antenna models. Antennas not included in these lists are strictly prohibited for use with this device. To comply with IC RF exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 30mm (in case of the antenna model DAE915R7865AGDZ1-T) or 15mm (in case of the antenna model DAE915R3540CGDD3-T) from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 7 The final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following:
