13.1.1
Labeling and User Information Requirements
Due to the limited module size of ATSAMR30M18A (12.7 mm x 11 mm), the FCC identifier is displayed only in the
datasheet and packaging box label. FCC identifier cannot be displayed on the module label. When the module is
installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into which the module is installed must display
a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label should use the following wording:
For the ATSAMR30M18A:
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2ADHKR30M
or
Contains FCC ID: 2ADHKR30M
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation
A user's manual for the finished product should include the following statement:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Additional information on labeling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB
Publication 784748, which is available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division

13.1.2
RF Exposure
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. KDB 447498 General RF Exposure
Guidance provides guidance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices
comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).
From the FCC Grant: Output power listed is conducted. This grant is valid only when the module is sold to OEM
integrators and must be installed by the OEM or OEM integrators. This transmitter is restricted for use with the
specific antenna(s) tested in this application for Certification and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitters within a host device, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product
procedures.
These modules are approved for installation into mobile or/and portable host platforms.
This module can only be used with a host antenna circuit trace layout design in strict compliance with the OEM
instructions provided.
13.1.3
Approved Antennas
To maintain modular approval in the United States, only the antenna types that were tested shall be used. Testing of
the ATSAMR30M18A module was performed with the antenna types listed in
.
According to KDB 178919 (Policy), it is allowed to substitute approved antennas through equivalent antennas of the
same type with equal or less antenna gain:
