1 Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing a Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI) QM8626 radio module (the “Module”). Failure to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC certification and authorization of the Module for use in the U.S. and in other countries. The QM8626 modular certifications described in this document apply only to radio conformance for the Module.
2 Applicable Module 80-KA570-12 Rev. B Part Number: QM8626 FCC ID: J9CQM8626 IC: 2723A-QM8626 MAY CONTAIN U.S.
3 Available Global Modular Approvals from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Module certification is limited to those countries for which Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI) has obtained radio modular approvals. The release and distribution of QTI regulatory documents shall follow the QTI policy through the QTI system. Customers who receive regulatory certification documents in the QTI system are subject to the terms of their Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with QTI (Figure 3-1).
4 Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator The global modular certifications apply to radio conformance for the Module only. The other equipment manufacturer (OEM) integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC and product safety testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries to the host system containing the Module.
5 Compliant/Allowable Transmit Power This file contains the transmit (Tx) power settings to be programmed in the board data file in the software. The software image is installed at the time of the manufacturing of the module. The board data information is provided by QTI. Contact your QTI account representative for more information about the board data file. 80-KA570-12 Rev. B MAY CONTAIN U.S.
6 Allowable Antennas to Use with the Radio Module The module is certified for use only with certain antennas as described in this section. NOTE: Allowed antenna type: Monopoles with omni-directional patterns formed from stamped metal or film. Table 6-1 Allowed maximum gain (dBi), including antenna cable loss WARNING: Frequency band Antenna gain (dBi, including cable loss) 824–849 MHz WWAN -0.3 1850–1910 MHz WWAN 0.9 2.4 GHz WLAN/BT 0.6 5.150–5.850 GHz WLAN 1.
7 Antenna Placement Inside the Host System and RF Safety The FCC and other countries’ regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the radio frequency (RF) exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system, and the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user.
8 Simultaneous Transmission with Other Integrated or Plug-In Radios The FCC imposes conditions and limitations when additional radios are co-located in the same host system as the QTI Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. The detailed rules from the FCC are described in various Knowledge Database publications that may be found using the instructions below. Co-locating other radios with the QTI module requires additional evaluation and possibly submission for authorization from the FCC.
9 Module May Not Be Installed by End Users FCC rules require the 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 radio modules. 80-KA570-12 Rev. B MAY CONTAIN U.S.
10 Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host NOTE: Explanatory text in red must not be included in the final label. 10.1 FCC The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example wording is as follows: Contains: FCC ID: XXX-XXXXXXX IC: XXXXX-XXXXXX (Replace X’s with actual IDs found in Chapter 1)). The FCC requires a logo signifying emissions compliance on the outside of the host system.
QM8626 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host For 2.4 GHz For 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz = 5 GHz dual bands The European Community R&TTE Directive also requires the following note to consumers on the outside of the shipping container/packaging: Important Notice: This product is a radio LAN device operating in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands (or 2.4GHz band) for home and office use in the E.E.A.
11 Required Labeling on the Module 11.1 FCC labeling on the Module The integrator must ensure that the FCC ID (as indicated in Chapter 1)) is affixed on the Module along with other country certification numbers and logos as described herein. NOTE: The Module original design manufacturer (ODM) may affix regulatory labeling at the time of Module manufacturing.
12 Required Regulatory Wording for User Manual/Installation Manual The integrator must include text in the user manual meeting the regulators’ requirements. The text below or similar wording should be used. NOTE: Text in red must be replaced. 12.1 FCC compliance information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2.
QM8626 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Required Regulatory Wording for User Manual/Installation Manual Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different than the one the receiver is connected to. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
QM8626 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Required Regulatory Wording for User Manual/Installation Manual Avertissement Le guide d’utilisation des dispositifs pour réseaux locaux doit inclure des instructions précises sur les restrictions susmentionnées, notamment: 1.
QM8626 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Country Required Regulatory Wording for User Manual/Installation Manual CE mark compliance statement English Hereby, [COMPANY NAME], declares that this Radiolan is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
QM8626 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Required Regulatory Wording for User Manual/Installation Manual 12.4 European Community (R&TTE) Declaration of Conformity for System In addition to including the radio conformity wording described in the previous section in the user manual, the end integrator must also create and sign a European Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for all European Directives applicable to the end product.
13 OEM Integrator Checklist The party below will implement the QTI Module in host systems in accordance with the instructions specified in this document and the documents referenced herein. The OEM integrator will ensure the Module is integrated in a host system using only the approved antenna models described in this document.
