on extremities, or mainly operated in extremity-only exposure conditions, i.e.,
hands, wrists, feet and ankles, must be maintained at all times.
4. The regulatory label on the end product must include the text "Contains FCC ID:
N7NBX31A" and the following compliance statement:
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.
5. A user manual with the end product must clearly indicate the operating require-
ments and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
6. End users must not be provided with access to configuration options to change
technical parameters of the BX3100/BX3105 module, except as permitted by the
FCC rules.
The end product with an embedded BX3100/BX3105 module may also need to meet
the requirements in FCC Part 15 Subpart B for unintentional radiators and be properly
authorized.

6.2 Canada

This radio transmitter IC: 2417C-BX31A has been approved by Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below,
with the maximum permissable 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.
Integrators may use the BX3100/BX3105 modules in their end products without
additional ISED certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise,
additional ISED approval must be obtained.
1. Only antennas of the same type and with equal or less gains as shown in
Table 6-1 may be used. Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas
may require additional authorization for operation.
2. The end product integrating the BX3100 module must use the RF trace design
approved with the BX3100 module. Details of the trace design can be obtained
from Sierra Wireless upon request.
3. At least 4.5 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user's body, or
3 cm separation distance when the end product is designed or intended for use
on extremities, or mainly operated in extremity-only exposure conditions, i.e.,
hands, wrists, feet and ankles, must be maintained at all times.
