          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

A limited modular approval may be granted for single or spift modular transmifters 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 fransmitter will be used.
Limited modular approval also may be granted in those instances where compliance with RF exposure
rules is dernonstrated only for particular product configurations. The applicant for certification must state
how contrel 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
