2. Users Guide Information
It is required that Traxxas LLP place the text below in the product user guide along with all other pertinent
regulatory information.
General Conditions:
The following conditions must be strictly adhered to for modular approval:
1. No modification to the module including the circuitry is permitted.
2. Design criteria to include antenna, interconnects, and local oscillator.
3. Testing of the final device configuration for Digital Emissions Compliance
The Spectrum 2.4 GHz, DTS may not be altered or modified in any manner by the OEM or other entity.
Additionally, no component may be added which could change the radio frequency (RF) characteristics. These
include, but are not limited to unintentional or spurious emissions, immunity, ESD characteristics, or other
items commonly associated with RF devices. This includes all components; passive and active. Additionally, no
RF components may be placed between the RF output of the module and the antenna.
2.1 Antenna Regulation
The antenna has been selected and specifically tested with the Spectrum 2.4GHz, DTS, and has been certified
through the regulatory agencies in the US and European Union authorized use. Use of any other antenna type
used with this unit voids the LMA grant for the said module.
2.2 Emissions Compliance Testing
Notwithstanding the Modular Approval for the device with associated antenna, the end product configuration
must meet digital emissions compliance and must be tested in accordance with FCC Part 15 requirements
confirming radiated emissions are within specified limits.
Applicable FCC guidelines:
• Part 15 Section 15.109 Sub-paragraph A, Class B Radiated Emission Limits.
These emission tests can be conducted by the manufacturer or by contacting an approved test facility equipped
and certified accordingly. The results of these emissions tests are not required to be submitted to the FCC or
Traxxas, but should be kept on file by the OEM.
2.3 Working with Additional Transmitters
The DTS should not be operated with any other transmitter in the end product. However, if such an application
comes about, further regulatory compliance from the FCC must be obtained.
