Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Laird
Manufacturing Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the MSD45N to account for
higher antenna gain. In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by using antennas that
are of like type and equal or lesser gain to the above listed antennas.
Documentation Requirements
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the Laird MSD45N into a host device and
leveraging Laird’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the documentation requirements set forth
by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European Union)
outline the information that may be included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host devices into
which the MSD45N is integrated.
FCC
Note: You must place “Contains FCC ID: SQG-MSD45N” on the host product in such a location that it
can be seen by an operator at the time of purchase.
User’s Guide Requirements
When integrating the MSD45N into a host device, the integrator must include specific information in the
user’s guide for the device into which the MSD45N is integrated. The integrator must not provide information
to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the device into
which the MSD45N is integrated. The following FCC statements must be added in their entirety and without
modification into a prominent place in the user’s guide for the device into which the MSD45N is integrated:
