RF exposure considerations
The module must be installed in the host equipment such that at least 20mm is maintained between the antenna and users’ body; and if RF exposure statement or module layout is changed, then the host product manufacturer required to take responsibility of the module through a change in FCC ID or new application. The FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the host manufacturer will be responsible for re- evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

Antennas

• Antenna Specification are as follows:
• Antenna Type: PCB antenna
• Antenna Gain(Peak): 2.05 dBi (Provided by customer)

Host manufacturer must perfom 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 canbe sold legally.

Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 & 15.207 & 15.209and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that applyto the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15 Subpart B compliant (when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
