Important Integration Notes Profoto’s RMI3 has been designed to allow for easy integration with a wide range of devices. There are some key factors you need to consider when integrating the module. Mechanical Integration The module needs at least 10 mm clearance in order to fit. This is the maximum height with consideration to the connector pins.
RMI3 uses an on board chip antenna. The use of any other antenna is not approved and will break the modular approval. All data are to be considered as nominal and Profoto reserves the right to make changes without further notice. www.profoto.com...
EN 301 489-17 V3.1.1 (or later). For RF, conduced test results can be inherited from the RMI3 test report to the end product using RMI3. Limited EN 300 328 V2.1.1 (or later) testing for radiated spurious emission is necessary and the test must be repeated with the end product using the RMI3 module.

2.8 Label and compliance information IMPORTANT NOTE: The RMI3 module is labelled with its own FCC and IC ID. If the FCC and IC ID:s 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 physical label or eLabel referring to the enclosed module.
