KDB996369 D03 Requirements

2.2 List of applicable FCC rules

List the FCC rules that are applicable to the modular transmitter. These are the rules

that specifically establish the bands of operation, the power, spurious emissions, and

operating fundamental frequencies. DO NOT list compliance to unintentional-radiator

rules (Part 15 Subpart B) since that is not a condition of a module grant that is

extended to a host manufacturer. See also Section 2.10 below concerning the need

to notify host manufacturers that further testing is required.

Explanation: this module meets all the requirements of FCC part 15 -247

2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions

Describe use conditions that are applicable to the modular transmitter, including for

example any limits on antennas, etc. For example, if point-to-point antennas are used

that require reduction in power or compensation for cable loss, then this information

must be in the instructions. If the use condition limitations extend to professional users,

then instructions must state that this information also extends to the host

manufacturer’s instruction manual. In addition, certain information may also be

needed, such as peak gain per frequency band and minimum gain, specifically for

master devices in 5 GHz DFS bands.

Explanation: The EUT uses an unchangeable PCB antenna with a maximum gain of

2.0dBi. There is no restriction on the installation method.

2.4 Limited module procedures

If a modular transmitter is approved as a ―limited module,‖ then the module

manufacturer is responsible for approving the host environment that the limited

module is used with. The manufacturer of a limited module

must describe, both in the filing and in the installation instructions, the alternative

means that the limited module manufacturer uses to verify that the host meets the

necessary requirements to satisfy the module limiting conditions.

A limited module manufacturer has the flexibility to define its alternative method to

address the conditions that limit the initial approval, such as: shielding, minimum

signaling amplitude, buffered modulation/data inputs, or power supply regulation. The

alternative method could include that the limited module

manufacturer reviews detailed test data or host designs prior to giving the host

manufacturer approval. This limited module procedure is also applicable for RF

exposure evaluation when it is necessary to demonstrate compliance in a specific

host. The module manufacturer must state how control of the product into which the

modular transmitter will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of

the product is always ensured. For additional hosts other than the specific host

originally granted with a limited module, a Class II permissive change is required on

the module grant to register the additional host
