          elements.                               integration manual how to assure
                                                  compliance of final end-product into
                                                  which this RF Module is integrated to the
                                                  FCC regulations.
 2        The modular transmitter must have       Please refer the Schematic, The modular       Y
          buffered modulation/data inputs (if     transmitter have buffered modulation/data
          such inputs are provided) to ensure     inputs U1
          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 The modular has it’s own power supply           Y
          own power supply regulation.            regulation.

 4        The modular transmitter must comply Referring to onboard PCB antenna                  Y
          with the antenna and transmission
          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           Referring to the test setup photos. This   Y
    tested in a stand-alone configuration,    module is tested in a stand-alone
    i.e., the module must not be inside       configuration.
    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 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               The modular was labeled with its own   Y
    equipped with either a permanently            FCC ID. The outside of device in to
    affixed label or must be capable of           which the module is installed will
    electronically displaying its FCC             labeled ‘Contains TX FCC ID:
    identification number. (A) If using a         ZKJ-BLEA003, Please refer to User
    permanently affixed label, the modular        Manual
    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          The modular is comply with all                   Y
          with any specific rules or operating         applicable FCC rules.
          requirements that ordinarily apply to a       Any modifications, not expressly
          complete transmitter and the                 approved by the manufacturer could
          manufacturer must provide adequate           void the authority to operate in these
          instructions along with the module to        regions.
          explain any such requirements. A copy
          of these instructions must be included in
          the application for equipment
          authorization.




8         The modular transmitter must comply         With the documented max output power              Y
          with any applicable RF exposure             this RF Module meets the FCC SAR
          requirements in its final configuration.    Exemption - so it can be integrated in any
                                                      host device (portable/mobile/fixed) with
                                                      further restrictions.


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.
