FCC KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01 rule sections
「General」: Applicable
This user manual describes the integration procedure per Sec. 2.2 to 2.12 of KDB 996369 D03.
「List of applicable FCC rules」: Applicable
This device complies with below part 15 of the FCC Rules. Part 15 Subpart C
「Summarize the specific operational use conditions」 : Not applicable
「Limited module procedures」 : Not applicable
「Trace antenna designs」: Applicable

PCB Layout (from “905M_ANT” pin to antenna connector)
Fine tuning of return loss etc. can be performed using a matching network. However, it is required to check “Class1 change” and “Class2 change” which the authorities define then.
「RF exposure considerations」 : Applicable
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body.
「Antennas」: Applicable
The device is designed to use the antennas listed below. Do not modify the antenna or any other part of the module. Any modifications will invalidate the modular certifications and require new approvals for the host system
| Model No. | Antenna Type | Antenna Gain |
|---|---|---|
| T13-047-1039 | λ/2 monopole antenna | 3 dBi |
「Label and compliance information」: Applicable
Following information must be indicated on the host device of this module.
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: AK8M1506GR
or
Contains FCC ID: AK8M1506GR
「Information on test modes and additional testing requirements」 : Applicable
Test modes should take into consideration different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host product.
「Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer」: Applicable
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts
(i.e., FCC transmitter rules)
listed on the grant (Part 15 Subpart C), 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」: Applicable
We recommend to use “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. The host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable FCC rules for the transmitters operating individually and simultaneously. This includes compliance for the summation of all emissions from all outputs occupying the same or overlapping frequency ranges, as defined by the applicable rules.
「How to make changes」: Applicable
Only the grantee is permitted to make permissive changes. Please contact us at
the address below.
