Regulatory Compliance Statements

This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class B devices and

describes how to keep the system CE compliant.

PrefaCe

Preface

Declaration of Conformity

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. 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.

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.

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.

Preface

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated

with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with

any other antenna or transmitter.

Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the

US/CANADA.

Operation of this device is restricted to indoor use only.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following

conditions:

The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the

antenna and users.

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

antenna.

For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in

CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM

shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory

Domain change.

As long as 3 conditions above are 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.

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 FCC

authorization is 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.

Preface

End Product Labeling

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the

antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the

antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area

with the following: “Contains FCC ID: YHI-EWF3210K”.

Manual Information to the End User

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 end user manual

shall include all required regulatory information/warning as shown in this

manual.

The product(s) described in this manual complies with all applicable

European Union (CE) directives if it has a CE marking. For computer systems

to remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining

CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques.

Preface

RoHS Compliance

NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status Update

NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital

infrastructure. We are committed to providing green

products and services, which are compliant with European

Union RoHS (Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substance in Electronic

Equipment) directive 2011/65/EU, to be your trusted green partner

and to protect our environment. RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb)

< 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Cadmium

(Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1% or

1,000ppm, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, and

Polybrominateddiphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm. In order

to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established an

engineering and manufacturing task force to implement the introduction

of green products. The task force will ensure that we follow the standard

NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS components

and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest industry quality

levels for which NEXCOM are renowned.

The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and

suppliers will ensure that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.

How to recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products?

For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the

suffix “(LF)” will be added to the compliant product name. All new product

models launched after January 2013 will be RoHS compliant. They will use

the usual NEXCOM naming convention.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

• Read all instructions carefully.

• Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

• When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts

specified by the manufacturer.

• Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a

heating device.

Preface

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get

into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small

components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally

damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow

require only a few simple tools, including the following:

• A Philips screwdriver

• A flat-tipped screwdriver

• A grounding strap

• An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is

recommended that you do not use needle-nose pliers to disconnect

connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the

connectors.

Safety Precautions

1. Read these safety instructions carefully.

2. Keep this User Manual for later reference.

3. Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a

damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.

4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the

equipment and must be easily accessible.

5. Keep this equipment away from humidity.

6. Put this equipment on a stable surface during installation. Dropping it or
