Introduction
The T30 is a new generation of multimedia player created by NovaStar for full-color LED displays. This multimedia
player integrates playback and sending capabilities, allowing users to publish content and control LED displays with a
computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Working with our superior cloud-based publishing and monitoring platforms, the
T30 enables users to manage LED displays from an Internet-connected device anywhere, anytime.
Thanks to its reliability, ease of use, and intelligent control, the T30 becomes a winning choice for commercial LED
displays and smart city applications such as fixed displays, lamp-post displays, chain store displays, advertisement
players, mirror displays, retail store displays, door head displays, shelf displays, and much more.

FCC Caution
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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 or more of the following measures:
Reorient of relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit difference from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 20 cm 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.
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as the three conditions above are met, further transmitter testing 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 cannot 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.
End Product Labeling:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following “Contains FCC ID:2AG8JT60”
If the FCC identification number 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 label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior
label can use wording such as the following; Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AG8JT60.
Manual Information to the End User:
The OEM integrator has to be aware not 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 show in this manual.
When the module is installed inside another device, the user manual of this device must contain below warning
statements;
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

Not applicable. The module is a Single module and complies with the requirement of FCC Part 15.212.
Trace antenna designs
Not applicable. The module has its own antenna, and doesn’t need a host’s printed board micro strip trace
antenna etc.
RF exposure considerations
The module must be installed in the host equipment such that at least 20cm is maintained between the antenna
and users’ body; and if RF exposure statement or module layout is changed, then the host product manufacturer
required to take responsibility of the module through a change in FCC ID or new application. The FCC ID of the
module cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the host manufacturer will be responsible
for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Antennas
Antenna Specification are as follows:
Type: Helix Antenna
Gain: 5.03 dBi
This device is intended only for host manufacturers under the following conditions: The transmitter module may
not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna; the module shall be only used with the internal
antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module. The antenna must be either
permanently attached or employ a ‘unique’ antenna coupler.
As long as the conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the host
manufacturer 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.).
Label and compliance information
Host product manufacturers need to provide a physical or e-label stating “Contains FCC ID: 2AG8JT60” with
their finished product.
Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Operation Frequency: 2412-2462 MHz
Number of Channel: 11
Modulation: DSSS, OFDM
Host manufacturer must perform test of radiated & conducted emission and spurious emission, etc. according to
the actual test modes for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously
transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host product. Only when all the test results of test modes comply
with FCC requirements, then the end product can be sold legally. 2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B
disclaimer. The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 & 15.209 and that
the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not
covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15
Subpart B compliant (when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall provide
a notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular
transmitter installed.
