FCC ID：2AVFNMGA6230A
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.

This modular transmitter complies with FCC Rules Part 2, Part 22, Part 24,
Part 27.
Specific operational use conditions
Antenna Change Notice to Host manufacturer
Recommend using antenna which certified with this module mentioned in this
manual.
If you desire to increase antenna gain and either change antenna type or use
same antenna type certified, a Class II permissive change application is
required to be filed by us, or you (host manufacturer) can take responsibility
through the change in FCC ID (new application) procedure followed by a Class
II permissive change application, based on the new emissions testing. Please
perform testing on frequency bands where the antenna gain is highest,
worstcase band-edges based on original filing, and only on frequency bands
where the antenna gain is highest.
Notice regarding trace antenna to host product manufacturer
Any deviation(s) from the defined parameters of the antenna trace, as
described by this instruction, host product manufacturer must notify us that
you wish to change the antenna trace design. In this case, a Class II
permissive change application is required to be filed by us, or you (host
manufacturer) can take responsibility through the change in FCC ID (new
application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change application.
RF exposure compliance instruction:
This module is limited to installation in mobile application with a minimum
separation distance of at least 20 cm from a person’s body, a separate
approval is required for all other operating configurations, including
portable configurations with respect to §2.1093 and different antenna
configurations.
Host product manufacturer shall at least provide information of minimum
separation distance to end users in RF exposure compliance statement to end
users in their end-product manuals.
This module is tested with the following antenna
| Antenna Type | Brand/ manufacturer | Model No. | Max. Antenna Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xxx e.g PIFA | Applicable to limited module | Applicable to limited | |
| module | |||
| Xxx |
Labelling and compliance statement instruction for host product
manufacturer
Please notice that if the FCC identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into
which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following:
“Contains FCC ID: 2AVFNMGA6230A” any similar wording that expresses the same
meaning may be used.
§ 15.19 Labelling requirements shall be complied on end user device.
Labelling rules for special device, please refer to §2.925, § 15.19 (a)(5) and
relevant KDB publications. For E-label, please refer to §2.935.
FCC regulatory Compliance Statement mentioned in this manual shall be properly
included in host product manual per FCC Rules.
The host product manufacturer shall be aware not to provide information to the
end user on how to install or remove this module in your host product manual.
Guide on test modes and additional testing requirements
Host product manufacturer is ultimately responsible for testing their end-
product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module
installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements,
additional transmitter(s) in the host, etc.).
Disclaimer on additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B compliance of Host
Product
This modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts
listed on our grant, 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. Host manufacturer in any case shall ensure
host product which is installed and operating with the module is in compliant
with Part 15B requirements.
Please note that For a Class B or Class A digital device or peripheral, the
instructions furnished the user manual of the end-user product shall include
statement set out in §15.105 Information to the user or such similar statement
and place it in a prominent location of host product manual.
Original texts from FCC Rules are as following you may refer to: For Class B
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.
For Class A
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Warning: changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Waste
Pursuant to the WEEE EU Directive, electronic and electrical waste must not be
disposed of with unsorted waste. Please contact your local recycling authority
for disposal of this product.
