Antenna connectors: SMA Test procedure: The printed board will be followed

testing procedures as blow: 1. Using the X-ray to check any RF copper trace is damaged. 2. Using the open/short equipment to make sure trace/ground plan/via holes are correct. 3. Using “TDR” equipment to make sure the RF trace impedance is 50 ohm. 4. Using network analyzer to measure dielectric constant for printed board. 5. Will follow the production test procedure as above(item#1~4) for each board.
After trace production, please verify all RF trace impedance with a vector network analyzer and mare sure the trace impedance is with 50+/- 2ohm.

OEM/Integrators Installation Manual

Important Notice to OEM integrators
1. This module is limited to OEM installation ONLY. 2. This module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications, according to Part 2.1091(b). 3. The separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations 4. For FCC Part 15.31 (h) and (k): The host manufacturer is responsible for additional testing to verify compliance as a composite system. When testing the host device for compliance with Part 15 Subpart B, the host manufacturer is required to show compliance with Part 15 Subpart B while the transmitter module(s) are installed and operating. The modules should be transmitting and the evaluation should confirm that the module’s intentional emissions are compliant (i.e. fundamental and out of band emissions). The host manufacturer must verify that there are no additional unintentional emissions other than what is permitted in Part 15 Subpart B or emissions are complaint with the transmitter(s) rule(s).

End Product Labeling
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 re-moved. If not, a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text: “Contains FCC ID: NKR-VMC-QSA515MNA” “Contains IC: 4441A-QSA515MNA ” The grantee’s FCC ID/IC ID can be used only when all FCC/IC compliance requirements are met.

Antenna Installation
(1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, (2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. (3) To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile exposure condition must not exceed:

In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC/IC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID/IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC/IC authorization.

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 end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
