INTEGRATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. General:
   • Sections: through 10 describe the items that must be provided in the integration instructions for host product manufacturers(e.g., OEM instruction manual) to use when integrating a module in a host product. This Modular transmitter applicant (GIGATMS) should include information in their instructions for all these items indicating clearly when they are not applicable.
2. List of Applicable FCC Rules:
   • The product complies with the following FCC rules:
   • FCC Part 15B (EMC): Electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
   • FCCID: WXAQD60
   • FCC Part 15.225: RF power requirements for induction-type wireless systems using the 13.56MHz frequency.
   • FCC Part 15.209: RF power requirements for intentional radiators operating in the 125KHz frequency range.
3. Summarize the Specific Operational Use Conditions:
   • This module needs to supply a regulated voltage from the host device. The QD60 module is designed for mounting inside the end product by our professional team. Therefore, it complies with the antenna and transmission system requirements of § 15.203. Follow the specific operational use conditions provided by GIGATMS for the proper integration and usage of the module.
4. Limited Module Procedures:
   • TO ensure proper operation, the QD60 module requires a regulated voltage supply from the host device. Typically, the host device should provide a power supply within the range of 5V, with 5V being the recommended voltage for this module.
5. Trace Antenna Designs:
   • The QD60 module comes with a built-in antenna. It is important to note that using antennas from other brands or making modifications to the antenna is not allowed. Follow the antenna integration guidelines provided by GIGATMS to ensure proper performance and FCC compliance.
6. RF Exposure Considerations:
   • This product, being a low‐power consumption consumer wireless device, follows FCC regulations regarding RF exposure. Please note the following guidelines:
7. a. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing:
   • The product has undergone SAR testing to determine the amount of RF energy absorbed by the human body at various distances.
   • The test results ensure that the product operates within FCC limits to prevent excessive RF exposure to users.
8. b. RF Exposure Distance:
   • The product is designed to comply with FCC regulations regarding RF exposure limits at a safe distance from the human body.
   • Ensure that users maintain a distance of at least 20 centimeters or more from the product’s radiator during installation and operation.
   • Warning: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. It also complies with the FCC’s radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines. To ensure compliance, the radiator of this equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of at least 20 centimeters from the human body.

Antennas:

Specify that the QD60 module is equipped with its own antenna and emphasize that using other brand antennas or modifying the antenna is strictly prohibited.

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 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.

The module must be installed in RFID Multi‐ISO Protocol Modules. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements:
Please check the installation manual first. Please contact GIGATMS (www.gigatms.com.tw) if you have any questions when conducting the RF certification test on the host. We (GIGATMS) are ready to present the control manual and others for the RF certification test.
Additional Testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer:
Follow any additional testing procedures and requirements specified by GIGATMS to ensure compliance with FCC Part 15 Subpart B. Include a disclaimer stating that the product complies with the specified requirements.
Note EMI Considerations:
Note that a host manufacturer 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.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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 of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to 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.

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 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.

The module must be installed in RFID Multi‐ISO Protocol Modules.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co‐location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re‐evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: WXAQD60 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.
