Requirement per KDB996369 D03
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
List the FCC rules that are applicable to the modular transmitter. These are the rules that specifically
establish the bands of operation, the power, spurious emissions, and operating fundamental frequencies.
DO NOT list compliance to unintentional-radiator rules (Part 15 Subpart B) since that is not a condition of a
module grant that is extended to a host manufacturer. See also Section 2.10 below concerning the need to
notify host manufacturers that further testing is required.3
Explanation:
This module meets the requirements of FCC part 15C(15.255).
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions
Describe use conditions that are applicable to the modular transmitter, including for example any limits on
antennas, etc. For example, if point-to-point antennas are used that require reduction in power or
compensation for cable loss, then this information must be in the instructions. If the use condition
limitations extend to professional users, then instructions must state that this information also extends to
the host manufacturer
’
s instruction manual. In addition, certain information may also be needed, such as
peak gain per frequency band and minimum gain, specifically for master devices in 5 GHz DFS bands.
Explanation:
The EUT has a Chip Antenna, and the antenna use a permanently attached antenna which is not
replaceable.
2.4 Limited module procedures
If a modular transmitter is approved as a
“
limited module,
”
then the module manufacturer is responsible for
approving the host environment that the limited module is used with. The manufacturer of a limited module
must describe, both in the filing and in the installation instructions, the alternative means that the limited
module manufacturer uses to verify that the host meets the necessary requirements to satisfy the module
limiting conditions.
A limited module manufacturer has the flexibility to define its alternative method to address the conditions
that limit the initial approval, such as: shielding, minimum signaling amplitude, buffered modulation/data
inputs, or power supply regulation. The alternative method could include that the limited module
manufacturer reviews detailed test data or host designs prior to giving the host manufacturer approval.
This limited module procedure is also applicable for RF exposure evaluation when it is necessary to
demonstrate compliance in a specific host. The module manufacturer must state how control of the product
into which the modular transmitter will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of the
product is always ensured. For additional hosts other than the specific host originally granted with a limited
module, a Class II permissive change is required on the module grant to register the additional host as a
specific host also approved with the module.
Explanation:
Clear and specific instructions describing the conditions,
limitations and procedures for third-parties to use and/or integrate the module into a host device
