Regulatory Approval

The ATSAMR30M18A has received the regulatory approval from the following countries:

• United States/FCC ID: 2ADHKR30M
• Canada

– IC: 20266-R30M
– HVIN: ATSAMR30M18A
– PMN: ATSAMR30M18A

• Europe - CE

For USA/Canada, the module has been certified for the modulation modes listed below. The user must ensure that
the module will only work on the 902-928 MHz frequency band and with one of the modulation modes listed below,
when used in USA and Canada.

• BPSK-ALT-40

(

)

• OQPSK-SIN-250

(

)

• OQPSK-SIN-500
• OQPSK-SIN-1000-SCR-ON

(

)

The host product manufacturer must ensure that the RF behavior adheres to the certification (e.g. FCC, ISED)
requirements when the module is installed in the final host product.

For Europe, the module has been certified for the modulation modes listed below. The user must ensure that the
module will only work on the 868-868.6 MHz frequency band and with one of the modulation modes listed below,
when used in Europe. For OQPSK-SIN-RC-100/200/400 modes, the maximum certified TX_PWR setting is 9.

• BPSK-20

(

)

• OQPSK-SIN-RC-100

(

)

• OQPSK-SIN-RC-200

• OQPSK-SIN-RC-400

Note: 

1.

Tests are done for only these modes which are chosen as the worst case modes.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operating frequency bands are country dependent and should be
programmed at the Host product factory to match the intended destination. Regulatory bodies prohibit exposing the
settings to the end user. This requirement needs to be taken care of via Host implementation.

13.1 

United States (FCC)

The ATSAMR30M18A module has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47
Telecommunications, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional Radiators” modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212
Modular Transmitter approval. Modular approval allows the end user to integrate the ATSAMR30M18A module into
a finished product without obtaining subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no
changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.

The user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate the installation and/or
operating conditions necessary for compliance.

The finished product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorization regulations, requirements
and equipment functions that are not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance
must be demonstrated: to regulations for other transmitter components within a host product; to requirements for
unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and
to additional authorization requirements for the non transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e., SDoC or
certification) as appropriate (e.g., Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
