“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”.
When the device is so small or for such use that it is not
practical to place the statement specified under paragraph (a)
of this section on it, the information required by this paragraph
shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction
manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or, alternatively, shall
be placed on the container in which the device is marketed.
However, the FCC identifier or the unique identifier, as appro-
priate, must be displayed on the device.
The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or
unintentional radiator shall bear the following cautionary
statement:
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC cerification and performance is valid only up to
power level PA5. It is advised not to use the module in
levels PA6 and PA7.
4.2.1.1 United States Regulatory Approval FCC Modular Ap-
proval (MA)
The requirements for FCC Modular Approval were released in
June 2000 in the FCC’s Public Notice: FCC Public Notice DA
00-1407, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approvals.
Criteria for Modular Approval
In our OEM instructions it is recommend that the following
rules (required by FCC grants) be adhered to:
• Cypress FCC ID label must appear on the outside of their
product. FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407 instructs, "...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. This exterior label can use wording such as
the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC
ID:XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any
similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be
used."
• No co-location with other transmitters is allowed. By
definition, co-location is when another radio or its antenna is
located within 20 cm of our radio and it can transmit simulta-
neously with your radio. Only the antenna(s) that were certified
with your radio may be used. Other antennas may be used
only if they are of the same type (e.g. yagi, dipole, patch) and
have the same or lower gain.
• Not withstanding the Modular Approval for the Radio Device
with associated interconnect and antennae, the end product
configuration must meet digital emissions compliance and
must be tested in accordance with FCC Part 15 requirements
confirming radiated emissions are within specified limits.Appli-
cable sections include:
• Part 15 Section 15.109 Sub-paragraph A, Class B
Radiated Emission Limits.
These emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer
or by contacting an approved test facility equipped and
certified accordingly. The results of these emissions tests are
not required to be submitted to the FCC or Cypress, but should
be kept on file by the OEM.
• Cypress module can only be installed by the OEM and not by
the user. It should not be installed in a user accessible location.
• Any modifications to the radio will void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. The OEM must not modify any aspect
of the radio's mechanical and electrical configuration.
• The OEM must include compliance information in their user
information.
• Although no additional regulatory work may be required for
the radio, the host device is probably subject to other FCC
authorizations as a digital device. DoC authorization is
required for PCs and peripherals; verification is required for
most other digital devices.
4.2.2
Industry Canadian Requirements and Regulatory
Approval
Industry Canada regulatory approval typically conforms to the
FCC in terms of emission levels and other regulatory require-
ments. It is the position of the Industry Canada agency that the
OEM is primarily responsible for ensuring end product
compliance. Cypress (Unigen) as grantee and supplier of the
module maintains responsibility for the Modular Approved
design.
Criteria for Modular Approval
In our OEM instructions it is recommend that the following
rules (required by Industry Canada) be adhered to:
• Cypress Industry Canada ID label must appear on the
outside of their product.If the Industry Canada 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. This exterior label can use wording such as the
following: “
Contains Transmitter Module Canadian Cert
No IC: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains Canadian Cert No IC:
XYZMODEL1.
” Any similar wording that expresses the
same meaning may be used.
• No co-location with other transmitters is allowed. By
definition, co-location is when another radio or its antenna
is located within 20 cm of our radio and it can transmit simul-
taneously with your radio. Only the antenna(s) that were
certified with your radio may be used.Other antennas may
be used only if they are of the same type (e.g. yagi, dipole,
patch) and have the same or lower gain.
• Notwithstanding the Modular Approval for the Radio Device
with associated interconnect and antennae, the end product
configuration must meet digital emissions compliance and
must be tested in accordance Industry Canada RSS-210
(Low Power License-Exempt Radio communication
Devices) requirements confirming radiated emissions are
within specified limits. Applicable sections include:
•
Part 15 Section 15.109 Sub-paragraph A, Class B Ra-
diated Emission Limits.
These emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer
or by contacting an approved test facility equipped and
certified accordingly. The results of these emissions tests are
not required to be submitted to Industry Canada or Cypress,
but should be kept on file by the OEM.
