INTEGRATOR AND HOST REQUIREMENTS

Authorization requirements
TWN4 Palon Compact M Light has been certified as a module and does not need further approval, provided that the module is used in accordance with the FCC grant conditions and no limitations or usage conditions have been defined by ELATEC. However, the host manufacturer must ensure that the host device still complies with all applicable regulations after TWN4 Palon Compact M Light has been integrated. In particular, the host integrator installing TWN4 Palon Compact M Light into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB 996369.

Labeling requirements
Requirements for FCC and IC identification numbers:

• Using a permanently affixed label, TWN4 Palon Compact M Light must be labeled with its own FCC and IC identification numbers.

• In case this label is not visible anymore after integration of TWN4 Palon Compact M Light in the host device, it is necessary to bring a label on the host device (on a visible and accessible place) stating the FCC and IC identification numbers of the integrated TWN4 Palon Compact M Light:

• Contains FCC ID: WP5TWN4F10

• Contains IC: 7948A-TWN4F10

• In case several modules have been integrated into the host device, the label should state all FCC and IC identification numbers of the integrated modules.
  Example:

• “Contains FCC IDs: XXX-XXXXXXX, YYY-YYYYYYY, ZZZ-ZZZZZZZ”

“Contains transmitter modules IC: XXXXX-XXXXXX, YYYYY-YYYYYY, ZZZZZ-ZZZZZZ”

Requirements for other countries and regions:
Refer to Chapter “Compliance Statements” for detailed information about the labeling requirements applying to the reader module or to the host device.
Compliance statements
All statements listed in Chapter “Compliance statements” of this integration manual must be also listed in the user manual of the host device.

Special accessories
Where special accessories such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device.

Simultaneous transmission
When the host product supports simultaneous-transmission operations the host manufacturer needs to check if there are additional RF exposure filing requirements due to the simultaneous transmissions. When additional application filing for RF exposure compliance demonstration is not required (e. g. the RF module in combination with all simultaneously operating transmitters complies with the RF exposure simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion requirements), the host manufacturer may do his own evaluation without any filing, using reasonable engineering judgment and testing for confirming compliance with out-of-band, restricted band, and spurious emission requirements in the simultaneous-transmission operating modes. If additional filing is required please contact the person at ELATEC GmbH responsible for certification of the RF module.
