Note: If the formal test reports for the SDC-WB40NBT show that transmit power was decreased to less than 100%

on 2.4 GHz edge channels. Summit will make these transmit power reductions in firmware for the edge

channels. Integrators do not need to reduce transmit power on a channel-by-channel basis to comply with

band edge regulations.

Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Summit Manufacturing

Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the SDC-WB40NBT to account for higher antenna gain.

In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by using antennas that are of like type and equal or

lesser gain to the above listed antennas.

Documentation Requirements

In order to ensure regulatory compliance, when integrating the SDC-WB40NBT into a host device, it is necessary to

meet the documentation requirements set forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC,

Industry Canada, and European Union) outline the information that may be included in the user’s guide and external

labels for the host devices into which the SDC-WB40NBT is integrated.

FCC

Note: You must place “Contains FCC ID: TWG-SDCWB40NBT” on the host product in such a location that it can be

seen by an operator at the time of purchase.

User’s Guide Requirements

As outlined in the Operational Description, the SDC-WB40NBT complies with FCC Part 15 Rules for a Modular

Approval. To leverage Summit’s grant, the two conditions below must be met for the host device into which the

SDC-WB40NBT is integrated:

1. The antenna is installed with 20 cm maintained between the antenna and users.

2. The transmitter module is not co-located with any other transmitter or antenna that is capable of

simultaneous operation.

As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing is typically not required. However, the OEM

integrator is still responsible for testing its end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with

this module installed, such as (but not limited to) digital device emissions and PC peripheral requirements.

IMPORTANT!

In the event that the two conditions above cannot be met (for example certain

device configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC

authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the

final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-

evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC

authorization.

When using Summit’s FCC grant for the SDC-WB40NBT, the integrator must include specific information in the user’s

guide for the device into which the SDC-WB40NBT is integrated. The integrator must not provide information to the

end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the device into which the SDC-
