1.2 Transceiver Packaging and Regulatory Certification
The 9602 SBD Transceiver is a regulatory approved daughter module transceiver that can be fitted within
an enclosed host system. With appropriate external connections, the host system can be designed to
meet full transceiver regulatory tests and sold as a Regulatory Certified product that meets CE, FCC and
IC requirements.
The 9602 is tested to the regulatory and technical certifications shown in Table 1 (See Note below).
The 9602 is certified as a module for non-portable applications – i.e. those that do not combine the 9602
with another radio element and have an intended separation distance of over 20 cm from a person.
Additional testing and certification are required for applications that combine the 9602 with another radio
element or are intended for use within 20 cm of a person.

Note: The initial 9602 FP1 & FP2 prototype units are different from the commercially produced 9602 SBD
Transceivers from a regulatory and certification perspective. Those initial units cannot and should not be
used for any commercial purpose or for any regulatory certification or compliance purposes. Only the
commercial 9602 units conform to the regulatory approved design and the regulatory and technical
certifications listed in Table 1.
