FCC Statement

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.

This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
  2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment
This module has been assessed against the following FCC rule parts: CFR 47 FCC Part 15 C (15.247, DTS and DSS) and CFR 47 FCC Part 15 E (NII). It is applicable to the modular transmitter
This radio transmitter 2AC23-WKCT2Q has been approved by Federal Communications Commission to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
The concrete contents to check are the following three points.
Please refer to the table in section 2.7.
Should be installed so that the end user cannot modify the antenna

Feed line should be designed in 50ohm

  • Fine-tuning of return loss etc. can be performed using a matching network.
  • The antenna shall not be accessible for modification or change by the end user.
  • The module complies with FCC Part 15.247 / Part 15.407 and apply for Single module approval.

  • Please notice that if the FCC 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. This exterior label can use wording such as “Contains FCC ID: 2AC23-WKCT2Q”; any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
  • In accordance with FCC guidance it is recommended that the host product manufacturer perform investigative measurements to confirm that the system does not exceed the spurious emissions limits or band edge limits once the module is installed in the host system.
  • If the host system contains other transmitters additional testing is required to check for emissions that may occur due to the intermixing of emissions with the other transmitters, digital circuitry, or due to the physical properties of the host product (enclosure). RF exposure assessments to account for transmissions across all transmitters that can operate simultaneously is also required.

For additional information refer to FCC KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide.

  • 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 host manufacturer is recommended to use FCC KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide recommending as “best practice” RF design engineering testing and evaluation in case non-linear interactions generate additional non-compliant limits due to module placement to host components or properties.
  • This module is stand-alone modular. If the end product will involve the Multiple simultaneously transmitting condition or different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, host manufacturer have to consult with module manufacturer for the installation method in end system.

Canada Statement

Notice to OEM integrator

  • Must use the device only in host devices that meet the FCC/ISED RF exposure category of mobile, which means the device is installed and used at distances of at least 20cm from persons.
  • This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
  • The end user manual shall include FCC Part 15 /ISED RSS GEN compliance statements related to the transmitter as show in this manual(FCC/Canada statement).
  • Host manufacturer is responsible for compliance of the host system with module installed with all other applicable requirements for the system such as Part 15 B, ICES 003.
  • Host manufacturer is strongly recommended to confirm compliance with FCC/ISED requirements for the transmitter when the module is installed in the host.
  • The use condition limitations extend to professional users, then instructions must state that this information also extends to the host manufacturer’s instruction manual.
  • Host manufacturer is strongly recommended to confirm compliance with FCC/ISED requirements for the transmitter when the module is installed in the host.
  • Must have on the host device a label showing Contains FCC ID: 2AC23-WKCT2Q or IC: 12290A-WKCT2Q
  • Both FCC ID and IC ID are not to be placed on the host at the same time and only hosts going into the US can use the FCC ID and only hosts going into Canada can use the IC ID.

Installer should put it in the manual:
The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
