FCC Regulatory Information

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.

• Please use the specified supply voltage in “Recommendation operating range” when installing this product. The final products must contain a power supply regulator and must ensure the applied voltage to this product is adjusted to always be within the operating voltage range.
• Please ensure and control your host product not to transmit on channels 12 and 13.
• Data transmission is inevitably initiated by software of host devices with the exception that several special packets are transmitted by the MAC. However, data transmission is terminated by end of packets in any cases. Therefore, it is RF transmitted only while packets are being transmitted. This modular transmitter automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure because RF parts will not be ON in neither cases.
• The device driver/firmware for this product is downloaded from a limited access web site provided by the device manufacturer and is implemented specifically for this product. The ID/password required to access the web site can be obtained after the conclusion of a contract with the device manufacturer.
• The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• Frequency Tolerance: 2.4GHz Band ±25 ppm, 5GHz Band ±20 ppm
• The device is designed to use the antennas l isted below. Do not modify the antenna or any other part of the module. Any modifications will invalidate the modular certifications and require new approvals for the host system.

1. Please label FCC ID at any location on the exterior of your product. Please indicate FCC ID by either one of the following method.
2. Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2A6NFWK8887
3. Contains FCC ID: 2A6NFWK8887
4. Please include the following statements in the user manual of the host device of this module;

FCC CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet.

Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

Frequency Tolerance: ±25 ppm (2.4GHz)
Frequency Tolerance: ±20 ppm (5GHz)

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body.

This device complies with below part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Part 15 Subpart C
Part 15 Subpart E

The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant (FCC Part 15.247), and 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.
The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.

Note) The 88W8887 firmware and driver does not support UART as a Bluetooth host interface. However, please add UART test points to your design because the UART terminal may be needed during Bluetooth qualification testing.

This specification describes the required conditions for mounting the device.
Required Conditions

1. Use and Storage

2. If components are in the moisture barrier bag packed by KAGA FEI, store the components at < 40deg-C/90％RH.

3. Keep the factory ambient conditions at < 30deg-C/60％RH .

4. Store the components at < 25±5deg-C/10%RH after the bag is opened.
   (This condition also applies during the manufacture process).

5. Handling
   Make sure all moisture barrier bags have no holes, cracks or damages. If an abnormality is found on the bag, its moisture level must be checked in accordance with 2 in (2).

Recommended Reflow Profile

1. All of the surface mounting process (reflow process) must be completed within 12 months from the bag seal date.
2. Immediately after opening the bag, use the humidity indicator included in the bag to make sure the humidity in the bag is less than 10%RH.
3. All of the surface mounting process (reflow process including rework process) must be completed within 168 hours after the bag is opened (inclusive of any other processes).
4. If any conditions in (1) or condition 2 and 3 in (2) are not met, bake the components in accordance with the conditions at 125deg-C for 24hours
5. As a rule, baking the components in accordance with condition 4 in (2) shall only be done once.
6. These components are sensitive to static electricity discharge.(<100V) To prevent damage, use ESD protective floor mats, wrist straps, ESD protective footwear, air ionizers etc.
7. Minimize mechanical vibration and shock.
8. Please recognize the pad on the back side when mounting the module.
9. Washing the module is not recommended. If washing cannot be avoided, please test module functionality and performance after thoroughly drying the module. We cannot be held responsible for any failures due washing the module.
10. Please do not exceed the recommended reflow temperature profile below. These components can only be reflowed a maximum of 1 times.
