User's Manual

The host integrator installing
this module into their product must ensure that the final
composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or
evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to
guidance in KDB 996369.
Frequency spectrum to be investigated
For host products with certified modular transmitter, the frequency range of investigation
of the composite system is specified by rule in Sections 15.33(a)(1) through (a)(3), or the
range applicable to the digital device, as shown in Section 15.33(b)(1), whichever is the
higher frequency range of investigation.
Operating the host product
When testing the host product, all the transmitters must be operating.The transmitters can
be enabled by using publicly-available drivers and turned on, so the transmitters are
active. In certain conditions it might be appropriate to use a technology-specific call box
(test set) where accessory devices or drivers are not available.
When testing for emissions from the unintentional radiator, the transmitter shall be placed
in the receive mode or idle mode, if possible. If receive mode only is not possible then, the
radio shall be passive (preferred) and/or active scanning. In these cases, this would need
to enable activity on the communication BUS (i.e., PCIe, SDIO, USB) to ensure the
unintentional radiator circuitry is enabled. Testing laboratories may need to add
attenuation or filters depending on the signal strength of any active beacons (if applicable)
from the enabled radio(s). See ANSI C63.4, ANSI C63.10 and ANSI C63.26 for further
