Recommendations
The following precautions should be considered during PCB designing:
Do not place any electrical components or grounding in antenna area on main board and it’s better to leave this area blank on PCB.
It is recommended to not place any electrical components within 10mm range of module antenna and not design any circuit or bond copper on main board under this area.
Do not use the module inside any metal case or containers with metal painting.
Keep the antenna of Wi-Fi module next to the edge of main board during design of PCB to ensure better performance of antenna.

  1. Labelling Instruction for Host Product Integrator
    Please notice that if the FCC and IC 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. For FCC, this exterior label should follow “Contains FCC ID: 2ATEV-BL1207-P”. In accordance with FCC KDB guidance 784748 Labeling Guidelines. For IC, this exterior label can use wording “Contains IC: 25062-BL1207P”.
    § 15.19 and RSS-Gen 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.

  2. Installation Notice to Host Product Manufacturer
    The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module.
    The module is limited to installation in mobile application, a separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to §2.1093 and difference antenna configurations.

  3. Antenna Change Notice to Host manufacturer
    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 and IC ID (new application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change application.

FCC other Parts, Part 15B Compliance Requirements for Host product manufacturer
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 in the text of host product manual. Original texts as following:

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.
