Designers should bring out GPIO27 pin option to pull this pin to VDDIO during reset or power-on and UART0 or SSPI pins to enable programming of firmware into the module. For details refer to the Programming GainSpan Modules document. GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 46 OF 50 GS1500M DATA SHEET 7 Regulatory Notes 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 To assure continued compliance, example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices . 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. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC & IC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC & 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. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions 1 The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and 2 The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 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 for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc. . 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 & IC authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC & IC IDs 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 separate FCC & IC authorizations. 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 for example access points, routers, wireless ADSL modems, and similar equipment . The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the corresponding FCC ID number. GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 47 OF 50 GS1500M DATA SHEET IC Certification Canada The labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A visible label on the outside of the final product must display the IC labeling. The user is responsible for the end product to comply with IC ICES-003 Unintentional radiators Manual Information That Must be Included The user’s manual for end users must include the following in-formation in a prominent location. IMPORTANT NOTE To comply with FCC & IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Other notes GainSpan modules have been built or under development for near body exposure applications. The 20cm statement is a standard note because absorption rate testing commonly known as SAR or Specific absorption rate is not modularly transferable for FCC/IC. Thus, if a radio is being used against the body, the end user is still responsible to test for regulatory near body exposure testing for USA, please refer to the following • FCC Part • FCC Part Mobile Devices • FCC Part Portable Devices • FCC Part b 4 GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 48 OF 50 GS1500M DATA SHEET 8 Limitations THIS DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE ARE NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED OR INTENDED FOR USE OR RESALE FOR THE OPERATION OF APPLICATION IN A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT, OR REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE, OR IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF PRODUCTS COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE COLLECTIVELY, "HIGH RISK APPLICATIONS" .
