User manuals for transmitters equipped with
detachable antennas shall also contain the following
notice in a conspicuous location:
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certifica-
tion number, or model number if Category II) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate with the
antenna types listed below with the maximum permis-
sible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in
this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain
indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use
with this device.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Can-
ada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec
une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou
inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Can-
ada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il
faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que
la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.)
ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établisse-
ment d'une communication satisfaisante.
Immediately following the above notice, the
manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types
approved for use with the transmitter, indicating the
maximum permissible antenna gain (in dBi) and
required impedance for each.
3.2.2 RF EXPOSURE
All transmitters regulated by IC must comply with RF
exposure requirements listed in RSS-102 - Radio
Frequency (RF) Exposure Compliance of
Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency
Bands).
3.2.3
APPROVED EXTERNAL ANTENNA
TYPES
Transmitter Antenna (from Section 7.1.2 RSS-Gen,
Issue 3, December 2010):
The RN4677U module can only be sold or operated
with antennas with which it was approved. Transmitter
may be approved with multiple antenna types. An
antenna type comprises antennas having similar in-
band and out-of-band radiation patterns. Testing shall
be performed using the highest gain antenna of each
combination of transmitter and antenna type for which
approval is being sought, with the transmitter output
power set at the maximum level. Any antenna of the
same type having equal or lesser gain as an antenna
that had been successfully tested with the transmitter,
will also be considered approved with the transmitter,
and may be used and marketed with the transmitter.
When a measurement at the antenna connector is
used to determine RF output power, the effective gain
of the device's antenna shall be stated, based on
measurement or on data from the antenna
manufacturer. For transmitters of output power greater
than 10 milliwatts, the total antenna gain shall be added
to the measured RF output power to demonstrate
compliance to the specified radiated power limits.

3.3 Europe
The RN4677 module is an R&TTE Directive assessed
radio module that is CE marked and has been
manufactured and tested with the intention of being
integrated into a final product.
The RN4677 module has been tested to R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EC Essential Requirements for Health
and Safety (Article (3.1(a)), Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) (Article 3.1(b)), and Radio (Article
3.2) and are summarized in Table 3-1: European
Compliance Testing. A Notified Body Opinion has also
been issued. All test reports are available on the
product web page at http://www.microchip.com.
The R&TTE Compliance Association provides
guidance on modular devices in document Technical
Guidance Note 01 available at
http://www.rtteca.com/html/download_area.htm.
Note:
To maintain conformance to the testing
listed in Table 3-1: European Compliance
Testing, the module shall be installed in
accordance with the installation instruc-
tions in this data sheet and shall not be
modified.
When integrating a radio module into a
completed product the integrator
becomes the manufacturer of the final
product and is therefore responsible for
demonstrating compliance of the final
product with the essential requirements of
the R&TTE Directive.
3.3.1
LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The label on the final product which contains the
RN4677 module must follow CE marking requirements.
The “R&TTE Compliance Association Technical
Guidance Note 01” provides guidance on final product
CE marking.
