• 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 configu-
ration.
• 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.
Note:
Industry Canada generally follows the guidelines of the FCC
for emissions level requirements. FCC end-product
compliance certification results may be used to satisfy Industry
Canada requirements. Please consult the Industry Canada,
RSS 210 specifications to confirm interagency compliance. If
comparable FCC testing has not been performed or if the
specifications are not cross compliant, RSS 210 testing will be
required.

European Union Requirements and Regulatory
Approval
The requirements for EU Regulatory Approval were released
in April 2000 in the EU R&TTE Directive.
This directive supports self directed testing and certification for
“harmonized” bands within OEM facilities or by third party. In
the case of WirelessUSB, standards have become harmo-
nized (although frequencies are not). The R&TTE directive no
longer requires a Technical Construction File however;
frequency notification to EU countries is still applicable.
Article 6 of the R&TTE directive states: “
The manufacturer or
the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the
market provides information for the user on the intended
use of the apparatus, together with the declaration of
conformity to the essential requirements.
”
Ensuring regulatory compliance of the end product is the sole
responsibility of the OEM.
Cypress maintains responsibility for conformance of the
CYWM6935PAEC, the interconnect, and the antennae as the
manufacturer.
The R&TTE directive maintains that first level compliance be
reviewed by a “Notified Body” prior to general product
marketing. This is not mandatory, but reduces the risk of the
product being challenged for non-compliance. Although not
specifically stated in the R&TTE Directive, corrections of
noncompliance issues are the responsibility of the end product
manufacturer.
Criteria for Modular Approval
In our OEM instructions it is recommended that the following
rules (required by ETSI) be adhered to:
• No co-location with other transmitters is allowed. By defini-
tion, co-location is when another radio or its antenna is lo-
cated 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.
• The end-product configuration must meet digital emissions
compliance and must be tested in accordance with the Eu-
ropean Union standards ETSI 300 328 (European Telecom-
munications Standard for 2.4 GHz ISM band Emissions) and
ETSI 300 826 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
Detailed European Union regulatory standards documentation
may be obtained from the following URL:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/infor.htm
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 ETSI 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 configu-
ration.
• 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.
Note:
The European Union generally follows the guidelines of the
FCC for emissions level requirements. FCC end-product
compliance certification results, if available, may be used to
satisfy EU requirements (Substitution Method). Please consult
the ETSI 300 328 specifications to confirm inter-agency
compliance. If comparable FCC testing has not been
performed or if the specifications are not cross compliant,
ETSI 300 328 testing will be required. Additionally, testing to
the ETSI 301 489-17 (immunity testing) is strongly recom-
mended. Cypress assumes no responsibility for compliance of
the end-product configuration.
