- List of applicable FCC rules
2.2FCC Part15 Subpart C, Section 15.247
2.3Specific operational use conditions Sufficient Power Supply. Wi-Fi Module is a mini-PCIe module and would be attached to the mini-PCIe interface of the main device.
As the transmitter power would require adequate power supply to the module for good performance, it is important to have at least 3.3V and 1A supplying to the module.

2.4 Limited module procedures
Not applicable. The module is a Single module and complies with the
requirement of FCC Part 15.212.
2.5 Trace antenna designs
Not applicable. The module has its own antenna, and doesn’t need a host’s
printed board micros rip trace antenna etc.
2.6 RF exposure considerations
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum instance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
2.7 Antennas
Antenna Specification are as follows:
Type: Rod antenna
Gain: Wi-Fi 2.4G ANT1/ANT2/ANT3: 2.32dBi
Wi-Fi 5.2G ANT1/ANT2/ANT3: 1.59dBi
Wi-Fi 5.8G ANT1/ANT2/ANT3: 4.51dBi
This device is intended only for host manufacturers under the following
conditions:
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna;
The module shall be only used with the External antenna(s) that has been
originally tested and certified with this module. The antenna must be either
permanently attached or employ a ‘unique’antenna coupler.

Host manufacturer must preform test of radiated & conducted emission and
spurious emission, etc. according to the actual test modes for a stand-alone
modular transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously
transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host product.
Only when all the test results of test modes comply with FCC requirements,
then the end product can be sold legally.

FCC regulatory information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subjected 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.
Note :
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 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.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
