The design specifications such as PIN pins can only be used in the host PC, and cannot be used in electronic products such as portable notebooks. If the integrator or final product manufacturer changes the design for use in portable products, they have the responsibility and obligation to apply for a new FCC ID authorization and add related tests such as SAR. In addition to the conditions 3 through 5 described above, a separate approval is required to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093.

If the device is used for other equipment that separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations.

For this device, OEM integrators must be provided with labeling instructions of finished products.
Please refer to KDB784748 D01 v07, section 8. Page 6/7 last two paragraphs:
A certified modular has the option to use a permanently affixed label, or an electronic label. For a permanently affixed label, the module must be labeled with an FCC ID – Section 2.926 (see 2.2 Certification (labeling requirements) above). The OEM manual must provide clear instructions explaining to the OEM the labeling requirements, options and OEM user manual instructions that are required (see next paragraph).
For a host using a certified modular with a standard fixed label, if (1) the module’s FCC ID is not visible when installed in the host, or (2) if the host is marketed so that end users do not have straightforward commonly used methods for access to remove the module so that the FCC ID of the module is visible; then an additional permanent label referring to the enclosed module: Hicon6310, Nic3552e, Nic3562e:
“Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2ADGH-6311” or “Contains FCC ID: 2ADGH-6311” The host OEM user manual must also contain clear instructions on how end users can find and/or access the module and the FCC ID.

The module is limited to OEM installation only.
The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module.
OEM integrator shall equipped the antenna to compliance with antenna requirement part 15.203& 15.204 and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters. And OEM host shall implement a Class II Permissive Change (C2PC) or a new FCC ID to demonstrate complied with FCC standard.
The OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
The final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: 2ADGH-6311”
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 & 15.407 &15.207 & 15.209 and that 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. 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.
The final host / module combination may also need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device.
The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes, or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information required by this section may be included in the manual in that alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in that form.

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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements.

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.

Manual Information to the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.

The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, 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 EMI Considerations:
Note that a host manufacture is recommended to use KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide
recommending as “best practice” RF design engineering testing and evaluation in case non-linear interactions generate additional non-compliant limits due to module placement to host components or properties.
For standalone mode, reference the guidance in D04 Module Integration Guide and for simultaneous mode7; see D02 Module Q&A Question 12, which permits the host manufacturer to confirm compliance.
How to make changes:
When changing from the conditions of approval, please present technical documentation that it is equivalent to a Class I change.
For example, when adding or changing an antenna, the following technical documents are required.

1. The document indicating the same type as the original antenna
2. Technical document showing that the gain is the same with the gain at the time of the original approval. If the antenna gain is lower than the antenna gain value compared with the original approval, a class II permissive change should be followed.
