2.0 User Guide Information
Electronic device manufacturers using Artaflex’s Modular Approval are required to place the below
text in their product user’s guide in accompaniment with other regulatory information.
The text may be disbursed according to language or geographic regions if desired, but the exact
text shown below must be maintained.
3.0 United States Regulatory FCC Modular Approval (MA)
The requirements for FCC Modular Approval were released in June 2000 in the FCC’s Public
Notice: FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approvals.
Design Criteria for Modular Approval
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 AW24MCHL may not be altered or modified in any way by the OEM or other integrator(s).
Additionally, no component(s) may be added which change the radio frequency (RF)
characteristics. These include unintentional or spurious emissions, immunity, ESD characteristics,
or other items commonly associated with RF devices. This includes all components; passive and
active (such as RF filters, RF amplifiers, RF switches, etc). Additionally, no RF components may
be placed between the RF output of the AW24MCHL and the antenna.
3.1 Antenna Regulation
The antenna is integrated in the module and has been qualified and approved for use under the
Modular Approval certification. This antenna is designed to be compatible with the RF impedance
and frequency range of the AW24MCHL. This antenna may not be modified or altered in any way
from the original design as represented by Artaflex.
The integrated antenna has been selected and specifically tested with the AW24MCHL, and has
been certified through the regulatory agencies in the US, Canada, and European Union for
authorized use. Use of an altered antenna in the AW24MCHL voids the MA grant for that
AW24MCHL.
