Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Compliance Notice
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:
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 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile
transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or
installed at locations where there is at least 20 cm separation
distance between the antenna and all persons.
To comply with FCC 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
20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC Regulations
The XPWG3 Module has been certified for integration into
products only by OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum
separation distance of 20 cm 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 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.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions
cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with
another transmitter), then the FCC authorizations are 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 re-evaluating the end product (including the
transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
The XPWG3 Module is labeled with its own FCC ID. If the FCC ID
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. In that
case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with
the following:
"Contains FCC ID: A5UXPWG3"
The OEM of the XPWG3 Module must only use the approved
antenna(s), which have been certified with this module. The
OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to
the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module
or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the
end product.
The user manual for the end product must include
the following information in a prominent location:
"To comply with FCC RF radiation exposure limits for general
population, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be
installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm is
maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all
times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter."
