LL-RLP-20 Datasheet INTRODUCTION The LL-RLP-20 is a highly-integrated, low power, bi-directional radio transceiver module optimized for use in the 915 MHz ISM and the 868 MHz ETSI frequency bands. The module uses a Frequency Modulated Chirp (Semtech's LoRa modulation) to maximize range while minimizing power consumption and interference.

Then gently flex the antenna until it separates. If the antenna does not separate readily, continue to cut the score-line until it can be removed without applying excessive force. Link Labs is not responsible for damage caused to the module during this procedure.
LL-RLP-20 Datasheet REGULATORY COMPLIANCE INFORMATION U.S./CANADA REGULATORY COMPLIANCE INFORMATION To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended.
LL-RLP-20 Datasheet FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT 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.
