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 tested in a Modular device provided mounted to a plastic
stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must panel similar to what would be used in a typical
not be inside another device during testing for enclosure
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 equipped with Model # and FCC# are located on the nameplate
either a permanently affixed label or must be of the device. In addition, an exterior label
capable of electronically displaying its FCC (1B11844) will be used on any enclosure this
identification number. device is installed in.
(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 with any Installation requirements can be found in the

along with the module to explain any such
requirements. A copy of these instructions must
be included in the application for equipment
authorization.

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.
