FCC Statement

This device 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.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of at least 760cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.

RF exposure considerations

  • This module complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications.
  • At least 760 cm of separation distance between the transmitting antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times.
  • The host manual shall include the RF exposure statements.
  • 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).

Antennas

  • The module itself has an antenna. (dish-type reflector antenna)

Label and compliance information
The module is labeled with its own FCC. If the FCC ID 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. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains FCC ID: 2AVCWMWC-922M”
The host manual shall include the following regulatory statement:
This device 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 this equipment.

The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of at least 760 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
Information on test modes and additional testing requirements 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 host manufacturer can use the software to make the 60GHz transmit continuously

Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer

The modular transmitter is only FCC-authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) 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.
The host product may need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device.

Warning

  • Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.
  • OEM integrators must use the equivalent antennas or C2PC will be required.

Additional
This device 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.
