Compliance list INTEGRATION INSTRUCTIONS for 996369 D03 OEM the and 996369 D03 OEM by
Sections 2.2 through 2.10.
Requirement                                        Yes   N/A   Comment
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules                   YES         Refer to instruction
List the FCC rules that are applicable to the
modular transmitter. These are the rules that                  FCC standards: FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15
specifically establish the bands of operation,                 Subpart C Section 15.247
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
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use         YES         Refer to instruction
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.
2.4 Limited module procedures                            N/A   Not applicable
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.
2.5 Trace antenna designs                            N/A   Not applicable
For a modular transmitter with trace antenna
designs, see the guidance in Question 11 of
KDB Publication 996369 D02 FAQ – Modules
for Micro-Strip Antennas and traces. The
integration information shall include for the
TCB review the integration instructions for the
following aspects: layout of trace design, parts
list (BOM), antenna, connectors, and isolation
requirements.4

        a) Information that includes permitted
variances (e.g., trace boundary limits,
thickness, length, width, shape(s), dielectric
constant, and impedance as applicable for each
type of antenna);
        b) Each design shall be considered a
different type (e.g., antenna length in
multiple(s) of frequency, the wavelength, and
antenna shape (traces in phase) can affect
antenna gain and must be considered);
        c) The parameters shall be provided in
a manner permitting host manufacturers to
design the printed circuit (PC) board layout;
        d) Appropriate parts by manufacturer
and specifications;
         e) Test procedures for design
verification; and


        f) Production test procedures for
ensuring compliance.

          The module grantee shall provide a
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 the module
grantee 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 grantee, or the host manufacturer can
take responsibility through the change in FCC
ID (new application) procedure followed by a
Class II permissive change application.

2.6 RF exposure considerations                      YES   Refer to instruction
It is essential for module grantees to clearly
and explicitly state the RF exposure conditions           The modular can be installed or integrated in mobile or fix
                                                          devices only. This modular cannot be installed in any

text needed for the host product
manufacturer to provide to end users in their
end-product manuals. If RF exposure
statements and use conditions are not
provided, then the host product manufacturer
is required to take responsibility of the
module through a change in FCC ID (new
application).
2.7 Antennas                                        YES   Refer to instruction
A list of antennas included in the application
for certification must be provided in the
instructions. For modular transmitters
approved as limited modules, all applicable
professional installer instructions must be
included as part of the information to the host
product manufacturer. The antenna list shall
also identify the antenna types (monopole,
PIFA, dipole, etc. (note that for example an
“omni-directional antenna” is not considered to
be a specific “antenna type”)).
For situations where the host product
manufacturer is responsible for an external
connector, for example with an RF pin and
antenna trace design, the integration


instructions shall inform the installer that
unique antenna connector must be used on the
Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host
product. The module manufacturers shall
provide a list of acceptable unique connectors.

transmitting modules or other transmitters in a

Grantees can increase the utility of their
modular transmitters by providing special
means, modes, or instructions that simulates or
characterizes a connection by enabling a
transmitter. This can greatly simplify a host
manufacturer’s determination that a module as
installed in a host complies with FCC
requirements.
