FCC Radio-Frequency Exposure & Approval Conditions:
FCC ID#: PPD-AR5BBU12
1. Antennas must be installed to provide 20 cm separation distance from the transmitting
antenna to the body of user during normal operating condition. This device must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
2. Only those antennas filed under FCC ID:PPD-AR5BBU12 can be used with this device.
3. When the Minicard is installed in a system where the antenna location is less than 20 cm
separation distance to the body of the user, additional equipment authorization is
required.
4. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC
ID:PPD-AR5BBU12 “.
5. The final system integrator must ensure there is no instruction provided in the user
manual or customer documentation indicating how to install or remove the transmitter
module.
6. AR5BBU12 must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. This
device complies with the following radio frequency and safety standards.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it
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 tuning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
-Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
-Connect the equipment to 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.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

IC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator & your body.

Antenna having a higher than approved gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

As long as condition above is met, further transmitter test 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 can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or
co-location with another transmitter), then the IC authorization is no longer considered valid
and the IC ID can not 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 IC authorization.

End Product Labeling

The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains IC : 4104A-
AR5BBU12”.

Manual Information That Must be Included

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’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.

The user’s manual for OEM Integrators must include the following information in a prominent
location “IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements. The
antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter”.
