Request for Modular Approval                Request for Limited Modular Approval
                      Requirements                         EUT Conditions                  Comply (Y/N)
                                   Single Modular Approval Requirements
  1      The radio elements of the modular       OK                                    Y
         transmitter must have their own
         shielding. The physical crystal and
         tuning capacitors may be located
         external to the shielded radio
         elements.


  2      The modular transmitter must have      OK                                     Y
         buffered modulation/data inputs (if
         such inputs are provided) to ensure
         that the module will comply with Part
         15 requirements under conditions of
         excessive data rates or over-
         modulation.
  3      The modular transmitter must have its A DC-DC converter is configured for     Y
         own power supply regulation.          internal supply of the module.




  4      The modular transmitter must comply      Connected to antenna with internal   Y
         with the antenna and transmission         transmission line and matching.
         system requirements of Sections
         15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The
         antenna must either be permanently
         attached or employ a “unique”
         antenna coupler (at all connections
         between the module and the antenna,
         including the cable). The
         “professional installation” provision
         of Section 15.203 is not applicable to
         modules but can apply to limited
         modular approvals under paragraph
         (b) of this section.


  5      The modular transmitter must be          OK                                   Y
         tested in a stand-alone configuration,
         i.e., the module must not be inside
         another device during testing for


    compliance with Part 15
    requirements. Unless the transmitter
    module will be battery powered, it
    must comply with the AC line
    conducted requirements found in
    Section 15.207. AC or DC power
    lines and data input/output lines
    connected to the module must not
    contain ferrites, unless they will be
    marketed with the module (see
    Section 15.27(a)). The length of these
    lines shall be the length typical of
    actual use or, if that length is
    unknown, at least 10 centimeters to
    insure that there is no coupling
    between the case of the module and
    supporting equipment. Any
    accessories, peripherals, or support
    equipment connected to the module
    during testing shall be unmodified
    and commercially available (see
    Section 15.31(i)).
6   The modular transmitter must be                   Mark the FCC-ID certification number   Y
    equipped with either a permanently                        on the module label.
    affixed label or must be capable of
    electronically displaying its FCC
    identification number.
    (A) If using a permanently affixed label, the
    modular transmitter must be labeled with its
    own FCC identification number, and, if the
    FCC identification number is not visible
    when the module is installed inside another
    device, then the outside of the device into
    which the module is installed must also
    display a label referring to the enclosed
    module. This exterior label can use wording
    such as the following: “Contains Transmitter
    Module
    FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC
    ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording
    that expresses the same meaning may be
    used. The Grantee may either provide such a
    label, an example of which must be included
    in the application for equipment
    authorization, or, must provide adequate
    instructions along with the module which
    explain this requirement. In the latter case, a
    copy of these instructions must be included in
    the application for equipment authorization.
    (B) If the modular transmitter uses an
    electronic display of the FCC identification
    number, the information must be readily
    accessible and visible on the modular
    transmitter or on the device in which it is
    installed. If the module is installed inside
    another device, then the outside of the device
    into which the module is installed must


         display a label referring to the enclosed
         module. This exterior label can use wording
         such as the following:
         “Contains FCC certified transmitter
         module(s).” Any similar wording that
         expresses the same meaning may be used.
         The user manual must include instructions on
         how to access the electronic display. A copy
         of these instructions must be included in the
         application for equipment authorization.
   7     The modular transmitter must comply             Module usage manuals were provided.      Y
         with any specific rules or operating
         requirements that
         ordinarily apply to a complete
         transmitter and the manufacturer must
         provide adequate instructions along
         with the module to explain any such
         requirements. A copy of these
         instructions must be included in the
         application for equipment
         authorization.
   8     The modular transmitter must comply             For RF exposure requests, ensure that    Y
         with any applicable RF exposure                 RF specs are entered and adhered to
         requirements in its final                       within the approval source provided to
         configuration.                                  all users fo this module.

A limited modular approval may be granted for single or split modular transmitters that do not comply with
all of the above requirements, e.g., shielding, minimum signaling amplitude, buffered modulation/data inputs, or
power supply regulation, if the manufacturer can demonstrate by alternative means in the application for
equipment authorization that the modular transmitter meets all the applicable Part 15 requirements under the
operating conditions in which the transmitter will be used. Limited modular approval also may be granted in
those instances where compliance with RF exposure rules is demonstrated only for particular product
configurations. The applicant for certification must state how control of the end product into which the module
will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of the end product is always ensured.
