**Module Control

**

4.1 Power off and reset limitations
There are no limitations to power off and reset.

4.2 Power supply interrupt
If MAINVCC drops out of range(<2.7V+/-5% 1usec typ) then the module is completely shut down. In this case, please execute the power-on sequence.

4.3 Over-temperature Protection
PM8018 provides over-temperature protection. If PM8018 die temperature is greater than 150 °C, the module is completely shut down. Temperature hysteresis is incorporated such that the die temperature must cool significantly (<105°C type) before the module can be powered on again. When the module becomes under 105°C(typ) and a PWR_N signal is enabled, the module will power up.
Please execute the power-on sequence.

4.4 Over-temperature Protection (restricted RF operation).
The thermistor built into the module (around Power Amplifier) detects the temperature around it. Based on the detected limited temperature, the module starts or terminates temperature protection and stops transmit/receive functions to prevent devices to be destructed.

FOR MOBILE DEVICE USAGE ( >20cm/low power)

Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

1. The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and (if EUT is a portable device, please delete this item)
2. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
3. Module approval valid only when the module is installed in the tested host or compatible series of host which have similar RF exposure characteristics with equal or larger antenna separation distance.
   As long as 3 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 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

FOR MOBILE DEVICE USAGE ( >20cm/low power)
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: JOYCW1011”. The grantee’s FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
