9.4.1 Antenna
The FCC document “DA-00-1407” specifies:
● The antenna gain of a new antenna should be of the same type as the originally approved
antenna and the antenna gain should not be higher than the antenna gain of the originally tested
antenna
● The emission levels or reported RF safety levels shall not be increased by the new antenna (of
the same antenna type)
● If the new antenna is a different type, recertification on end-product/system level is required
With the existing DA14AVDDECT SF01 certification this implies the following:
● If only the embedded/internal antenna of DA14AVDDECT is used, then the Antenna Condition is
fulfilled.
● If an external antenna is connected to DA14AVDDECT, then this antenna would need to meet
specific criteria in order to prevent recertification requirements. Please refer to the
DA14AVDDECT SF01 datasheet sections 5 and 6 for further details
Key characteristics of the embedded/internal antenna of DA14AVDDECT:
● Type of antenna: Printed F-antenna
● Peak antenna gain: 4dBi
Further details on the DA14AVDDECT antenna can be found in document AN-D-236.
9.4.2 Host PCB Layout
The PCB layout of the host PCB is critical to the validity of the RF certification of DA14AVDDECT
because it is part of the embedded printed antenna. Please refer to the DA14AVDDECT SF01
datasheet sections 5 and 6 for further details.
9.4.3 Labelling Requirements
The modular transmitter must be labelled with its own FCC ID / IC ID. If the FCC ID / IC ID is not
visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the host device must contain the
FCC ID / IC ID with the statement such as the following:
Model: DA14AVDECT SF01
Contains FCC ID: Y82-DA14AVD
Contains IC ID: 9576A-DA14AVD
Some further details about labelling requirements and compliance statements can be found in
"784748 D01 Labelling Part 15 18 Guidelines v07".
9.4.4 User Documentation Text for FCC and/or Industry Canada / ISED
The literature provided to the end user must include the following wording:
“FCC compliance statement
