FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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.
This modular has been tested and found to comply with part 15 requirements for
Modular Approval.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Integration instructions for host product manufacturers according to KDB
996369 D03 OEM Manual v01r01
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
CFR 47 FCC Part 15 Subpart C and Subpart F has been investigated. It is
applicable to the modular transmitter
2.3 Specific Operational Use Conditions – Antenna Placement Within the Host
Platform
The module is tested for standalone mobile RF exposure use condition.
- The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
- The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
In the event that these conditions cannot 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 cannot 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.
2.4 Limited Module Procedures
Not applicable
2.5 Trace Antenna Designs
Not applicable
2.6 RF Exposure Considerations
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
2.7 Antenna Type and Gain
The following antennas have been certified for use with this module.
Only antennas of the same type with equal or lower gain may also be used with
this module.
Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may require the additional
authorization for operation.

2.8 End Product Labelling Compliance Information
When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC ID label must be
visible through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an
access panel, door or cover is easily removed. If not, a second label must be
placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text:
“Contains FCC ID: 2AVEDFRX-M88CU-22”. The FCC ID can be used only when all FCC
compliance requirements are met.
2.9 Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements
This transmitter is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition and
any co-located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) class II
permissive change re-evaluation or new FCC authorization.
Host manufacturer installed this modular with single modular approval should
perform the test of radiated emission and spurious emission according to FCC
part 15C, Part 15E, 15.209, 15.207 requirement, only if the test result comply
with FCC part 15C, Part 15E, 15.209, 15.207 requirement, then the host can be
sold legally.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer
This transmitter modular us tested as a subsystem and its certification does
not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B rules requirement applicable to the final
host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this
portion of rules requirements if applicable.
As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
modular installed.
2.11 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 host integrator must follow the integration instructions provided in this
document and ensure that the composite system end product complies with the
requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the rules and to KDB
Publication 996369.
The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that
the final composite product complies with the requirements by a technical
assessment or evaluation to the rules, including the transmitter operation and
should refer to guidance in KDB Publication 996369.
OEM/Host Manufacturer Responsibilities
OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the
Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the
essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it
can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter
module for compliance with the Radio and RF Exposure essential requirements of
the FCC rules.
2.12 How to Make Changes – Important Note
In the event that these conditions cannot 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 cannot 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.
