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.
For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the
user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent
location in the text of the manual: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digitial 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.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
OEM/Integrator may cause harmful interference and void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
RF Exposure
This device has been evaluated and shown compliant with the FCC RF Exposure
limits under portable fixed exposure conditions
Per FCC Rule parts 15.225
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts
15.225 listed on the grant, 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.
The modular transmitter NO its own RF shielding, and tested in a stand-alone
configuration.
The module was designed with the fixed PCB print antenna, any changes or
modifications by the OEM integrator will require additional testing and
evaluation.
The module has been evaluated and shown compliant with the FCC RF Exposure
limits. 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, otherwise, a Class II
Permissive Change (C2PC) must be filed with the FCC and/or a new FCC
authorization must be applied.
The antenna of the module was deisgned as PCB printed on the PCBA board and
the best gain is 0dBi. Modification the antenna design may need additional
testing and evaluation.
Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does
not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement
applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed
for compliance to this portion of rule 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
module installed.
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 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.
The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance with 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.
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 EMF essential requirements of the FCC
rules. This module must not be incorporated into any other device or system
without retesting for compliance as multi‐radio and combined equipment
FOR DEVICE USAGE
