Request modular approval for the certification of our equipment within this
application, identified by FCC ID: WA7-43460AC
     The table below contains the justification for modular approval of this equipment:
Requirement per 15.212 and KDB 996369 D01 Module Certification Guide v01r04            Explanation from grantee (do not write yes /
                                                                                       no, but explain why it complies / how it is
                                                                                       achieved)
1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding.                             The module has its own RF shielding.

2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs   The modular has buffered data inputs, it is

                                                                                       support device.
4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section        The module meets the FCC antenna
15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a      requirements, It has a unique connector.

including the cable)..

5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the    The module was tested in a stand-alone

demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits
regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed.

6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the     The label position of FCC ID is clearly

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.


7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating                   The module is compliant with all applicable
requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide                 FCC rules. Detail instructions are given in the

of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization.
For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met
before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance,
data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which
case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with
these requirements must be assured.

8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure                       The module complies with the mobile and
requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific                 fixed 20cm separation distance location

Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental
evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum
transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure
compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved
under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF
Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating
instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance.
