Here are two types of instruction for RF exposure:
- The host product which the module installed shall be mobile application.
- The end user manual shall be provided additional text from the host product manufacturer. It shall include FCC compliance statements related to the transmitter or labeling requirements. If RF exposure statements and use conditions are not provided, then the host product manufacturer is required to take responsibility of the module through a change in FCC ID (new application).
Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations.
About the Antenna:
Must use an antenna such as dipole Antenna with a gain not exceeding 3.83 dBi
for BT/BLE/2.4G WIFI, 5.52 dBi for 5G WIFI, 5.84 dBi for 6G WIFI; and minimum
2.65dBi for 6G WIFI. The antenna complies with FCC Part 15.203. The installer
should use unique antenna connector and 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 manufacturer of
module will inform installer to meet with the FCC part 15.203 in the warning
part. Please refer to section 2.3 for the detail of the antenna requirements.
Please notice that if the FCC identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside the host 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 shall use the wording: Contains FCC
ID: 2AR82-SKOWB276P1.
Please notice that if the ISED Canada certification number is not visible when
the module is installed inside the host 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 c hall use the wording: Contains IC:
24728-SKOWB276P1.
Testing of the host product with all the transmitters installed – referred to
as the composite investigation test- is recommended, to verify that the host
product meets all the applicable FCC rules. The radio spectrum is to be
investigated with all the transmitters in the final host product functioning
to determine that no emissions exceed the highest limit permitted for any one
individual transmitter as required by Section 2.947(f). The host manufacturer
is responsible for ensuring that when their product operates as intended, it
does not have any emissions present that are out of compliance that were not
present when the transmitters were tested individually.
If the modular transmitter has been fully tested by the module grantee on the
required number of channels, modulation types, and modes, it should not be
necessary for the host installer to re-test all the available transmitter
modes or settings. It is recommended that the host product manufacturer,
installing the modular transmitter, perform some investigative measurements to
confirm that the resulting composite system does not exceed the spurious
emissions limits or band edge limits (e.g., where a different antenna may be
causing additional emissions).
The testing should check for emissions that may occur due to the intermixing
of emissions with the other transmitters, digital circuitry, or due to
physical properties of the host product (enclosure). This investigation is
especially important when integrating multiple modular transmitters where the
certification is based on testing each of them in a stand-alone configuration.
Any company of the host device that installs this modular should perform the
test of radiated and conducted emission and spurious emission etc. according
to FCC Part 15C: 15.247, 15.209, & 15.207, Part 15E: 15.407, 15B class B
requirement. Only if the test result complies with FCC part 15C: 15.247,
15.209, 15.407 & 15.207, 15B class B requirement, then the host can be sold
legally.
The 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. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15 Subpart B
compliant (when it also contains unintentional radiator digital circuity),
then the grantee shall provide a notice stating that the final host product
still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular
transmitter installed.
The host manufacturer is recommended to use D04 Module Integration Guide recommended 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 simultaneous 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. For more information, please refer to the in KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual
and KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide.
A separate approval is required for all other operating configurations,
including portable configurations concerning Part 2.1093 and different antenna
configurations.
The module is limited to OEM installation only.
The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end user has no manual
instruction to remove or install module. 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 20 cm from people. The
end user manual shall include FCC Part 15 /ISED RSS GEN compliance statements
related to the transmitter as show in this manual.
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. Any company of the host device that installs this modular should perform the test of radiated and conducted emission and spurious emission etc. according to FCC Part 15C: 15.247, 15.209, & 15.207, Part 15E: 15.407, 15B class B requirement, only if the test result complies with FCC part 15C: 15.247, 15.209, & 15.207, Part 15E: 15.407, 15B class B requirement. Then the host can be sold legally. The 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. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15 Subpart B compliant (when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
This modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts
(47CFR Part 15.247 and 15.407) listed on the grant, and the 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 is strongly recommended to confirm compliance with FCC/ISED
requirements for the transmitter when the module is installed in the host.
Refer to the minimum antenna gain requirements and antenna type (Dipole) that
are approved for use with this module detailed in the previous sections. Using
of other antennas will require additional certification procedures for the
host system with FCC and ISED-Canada.
This equipment complies with FCC and ISED-Canada radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed in
host systems that are installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm
between the radiator & people. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except as
permitted by FCC and ISED-Canada multiple-transmitter rules.
Installation in a Mobile Application
The module is limited to installation in a mobile application.
For a normal application, for example, a display, host systems are installed
and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & people. If
the end-user really need to install in host systems that are installed and
operated with a distance less than 20cm between the radiator & people, for
example, a cell phone or laptop, the host systems need to comply with the
requirements in KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01 and KDB 996369 D04 Module
Integration Guide v02.
The module is not intended for the general public; it must be professionally
installed.
