MOUSER ELECTRONICS RM-2450 Doodle Labs Smart Radio Manual
Smart Radio Overview
The Smart Radio is an advanced 2×2 MIMO mesh router designed for easy plug & play integration. The tiny module carries all bi-directional communication (e.g. Telemetry, Video) in a single high-speed broadband RF channel.
Due to its very low SWaP-C (Space, Weight and Power and Cost), the Smart Radio is very popular for mobile IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications like drones, autonomous vehicles, and mobile robotics applications across various industries.

FCC Regulatory Statement:
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.
Warning: changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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 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 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
RF Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna used with this transmitter must be installed to provide a minimum 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, except in accordance with FCC multi- transmitter product procedures. Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the US/Canada.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
- The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
- The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
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.
Labeling and Notice to OEM Integrator
If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the
finished product into which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording as follows:
For the RM-2450-2J:
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AG87RM2450-2J or Contains FCC ID: 2AG87RM2450-2J
A transmitter with a modular grant can be installed in different end-use products (referred to as a host, host product, or host device) by the grantee or other equipment manufacturer, then the host product may not require additional testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by that specific module or limited module device.
A host product itself is required to comply with all other applicable FCC equipment authorization regulations, requirements, and equipment functions that are not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated: to regulations for other transmitter components within a host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e., Verification or Declaration of Conformity) as appropriate (e.g., Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions).
Reference to KDB Publication 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide (which is available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm ), any manufacturer of the host device which installs this modular with unlimited modular approval should perform the test of radiated and conducted emission and spurious emission, etc. according to FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15.247 requirement, only if the tests result comply with FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15.247 requirement, then the host can be sold legally.
A user’s manual for the finished product should include the following 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.

- 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
IC Regulatory Statement:
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference.
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The digital apparatus complies with Canadian CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B).
The term “IC: ” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the ISED Canada technical specifications were met. This product meets the applicable ISED Canada technical specifications.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure statement: This device meets the exemption from the routine evaluation limits in section 2.5 of RSS 102 and compliance with RSS 102 RF exposure, users can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure and compliance.
The equipment complies with IC Radiation exposure limit set forth for uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body.
Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the ISED 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 Canada authorization.
Labeling and Notice to OEM Integrator If the IC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording as follows:
