FCC Statement

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

This device may not cause harmful interference,
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 equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, according 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 under 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 the receiver.
Connect the equipment to 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 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 applies to the modular transmitter
This radio transmitter 2AC23-WXT42S has been approved by the 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.

The antenna type is a PIFA with no more than 1.72dBi gain at BT/BLE, 1.72 dBi for 2.4 G WIFI, and 2.57 dBi gain for 5G WIFI.
Should be installed so that the end user cannot modify the antenna
The 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 applies for Single module approval.
Trace antenna designs: applicable.
Any deviation(s) from the defined parameters of the antenna trace, as described by the instructions, requires that the host product manufacturer notify the module grantee that they wish to change the antenna trace design.
In this case, a Class II permissive change application is required to be filed by the grantee, or the host manufacturer can take responsibility through the change in FCC ID (new application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change application.
The device must be professionally installed.
The intended use is generally not for the general public.
It is generally for industry/commercial use.
The connector is within the transmitter enclosure and can only be accessed by disassembly of the transmitter which is not normally required.
The user has no access to the connector.
Installation must be controlled.
Installation requires special training.
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 of 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The following antennas have been certified for use with this module.
Only antennas of the same type with equal or lower gain may also be used with this module.
Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may require additional authorization for operation. The installer should use a 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 the module will inform the installer to meet with the FCC part 15.203 in the warning part.

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-WXT42QF”; any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
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 the 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 which installs this modular should perform the test of radiated & conducted emission and spurious emission etc. according to FCC Part 15C: 15.247 and 15.209 & 15.207, part 15 E 15.407,15B class B requirement, only if the test result comply with FCC part 15C: 15.247 and 15.209 & 15.207, part 15 E 15.407,15B class B requirement. Then the host can be sold legally.
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. 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 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 Multiple simultaneous transmitting conditions or different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, the host manufacturer has to consult with the module manufacturer for the installation method in the end system.

Canada Statement
