OEM/Integrators Installation Manual
Important Notice to OEM integrators
1. This module is limited to OEM installation ONLY.
2. This module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications, according to Part 2.1091(b).
3. The separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable
configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations
4. For FCC Part 15.31 (h) and (k): The host manufacturer is responsible for additional testing to verify
compliance as a composite system. When testing the host device for compliance with Part
15 Subpart B, the host manufacturer is required to show compliance with Part 15 Subpart B while the
transmitter module(s) are installed and operating. The modules should be transmitting and the evaluation
should confirm that the module's intentional emissions are compliant (i.e. fundamental and out of band
emissions). The host manufacturer must verify that there are no additional unintentional emissions other
than what is permitted in Part 15 Subpart B or emissions are complaint with the transmitter(s) rule(s).
The Grantee will provide guidance to the host manufacturer for Part 15 B requirements if needed.
Important Note
notice that any deviation(s) from the defined parameters of the antenna trace, as described by the
instructions, require that the host product manufacturer must notify to Quectel that they wish to change
the antenna trace design. In this case, a Class II permissive change application is required to be filed
by the USI, or the host manufacturer can take responsibility through the change in FCC ID (new
application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change application.
End Product Labeling
When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC/IC ID label must be visible through a window on
the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door or cover is easily re-moved. If not, a
second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text:
“Contains
FCC ID: XMR202002EG18NA
”
“Contains IC: 10224A-20202EG18NA “
The FCC ID/IC ID can be used only when all FCC/IC compliance requirements are met.
Antenna Installation
(1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
(2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location
with another transmitter), then the FCC/IC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID/IC
ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for
