The installation shall be performed by trained licensed professionals, it uses specialized software and adjusts the best angles and orientations, which are difficult for ordinary people to do. The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed application. The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module; Modular approval allows installation in different end-use products by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with limited or no additional testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by the IDNMOD1. Specifically:

• No additional transmitter compliance testing is required if the module is operated with the antenna listed in the document below.
• No additional transmitter-compliance testing is required if the module is operated with the same general type of antenna (i.e. near-field segmented loop, circularly polarized patches) as those listed in this User’s Guide and in the FCC filing for the IDNMOD1. Acceptable antennas must be of equal or less far field gain than the antenna previously authorized under the same FCC ID, and must have similar in band and out of band characteristics.

In addition, the end product must comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorizations, regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the IDNMOD1. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host product, to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15B), and to additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions.

The OEM applying the IDNMOD1 is required to include all FCC and/or IC statements and warnings detailed in the following sections to the end product labeling (where specified) and in the finished product manual.
