Rev. 1.3

Lantronix

Because the rules are highly dependent on the characteristics of the particular radios that are

co-located and simultaneously transmitting, the OEM integrator should seek guidance from

a knowledgeable test lab or consultant to determine if additional testing and certification is

required. In this case, failure to evaluate and follow the required FCC and IC procedures will

invalidate the FCC and IC certifications of the Module and end system.

8. MODULE MAY NOT BE INSTALLED BY END USERS

FCC and IC rules require this Module to be installed in host systems at the factory by the

OEM integrator. Thus, end users of the system may not install the Module. Therefore, the

host product user instructions must not advise the end user on how to access or remove the

Module. Additional FCC authorization/filing is needed to allow end user installation of the

radio modules.

If modules are provided to the end users for installation in the host, a two-way

authentication protocol is required to limit the module to operate only with the authorized

host system.

9. REQUIRED LABELING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOST

9.1 FCC Labeling Requirements on the Outside of the Host

The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example

wording is:

Contains:

FCC ID: R68OQ865S

IC: 3867A-OQ865S

The FCC requires a logo signifying emission compliance on the outside of the host system.

The OEM integrator is responsible to perform FCC Part 15 Class B digital emissions testing

on the end system with the radio Module installed. The FCC logo below should not be

affixed unless the OEM integrator has obtained the necessary Part 15 approval, e.g., self-

declaration of conformity.

If the host system is approved to FCC Class B digital emissions limits under a grant of

certification issued by a TCB, the FCC ID number shown on the grant should be used on the

label instead of the FCC logo below.
