Integration Overview CreataLink2 XT Hardware Integrator’s Guide
Regulatory Requirements
Regulatory Requirements
This chapter provides guidance on how to obtain regulatory approval of products
that integrate the CreataLink2 XT data transceiver.
Overview
Worldwide, government regulatory agencies for communications have established
standards and requirements for products that incorporate fixed, mobile, and
portable radio transmitters. To this end, SmartSynch, Inc. must certify the
CreataLink2 XT device in specific regional markets to levels of compliance
appropriate for an integrated device. Approvals are required for two interrelated
reasons: to guard public safety and to ensure electrical noninterference.
The nonintegrated data transceiver meets the following FCC regulatory
requirements:
• FCC Part 90—Radio Performance
• FCC Part 15—Conducted and Emitted Radiation Class B
• FCC Part 24—NBPCS-Narrow Band PCS Transceivers
SmartSynch, Inc. is responsible for testing and verifying that the CreataLink2 XT
device complies with all of the above FCC requirements. The process includes
extensive measurements such as conducted power-out, emission limits, spurious
emissions (conducted and radiated), RF hazard, and frequency stability over
temperature. The test data are compiled as a formal report and submitted to the
FCC for Type Acceptance certification. Once approved, all production CreataLink2
XT units are cleared for sale in the U.S., with the required product labeling.
The FCC requires the OEM host product to be labeled as follows:
At the time of this printing, this product contains a type-accepted
transmitter approved under FCC ID: E9698109. Contact SmartSynch at
www.smartsynch.com to get the latest FCC ID for current releases of
hardware.
Refer to FCC CFR 47, Part 2, Subpart J, for information on how to obtain an FCC
grantee code, FCC identifier requirements, label requirements, and other
equipment authorization procedures.
The FCC does not permit use of an FCC identifier until a Grant of Equipment
Authorization is issued. If you display a device at a trade show before the FCC has
issued a grant, you must display the following statement prominently:
This device has not been approved by the Federal Communications
Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease,
sold or leased until the approval of the FCC has been obtained.
Compliance
Many countries in which the final products are sold require approval from the local
governmental regulatory bodies. In the U.S., the FCC requires that the following
two individual requirements are met before it certifies the final product:
• Test 1 is the familiar CFR 47, Part 15 qualification requiring proof that the
product electronics hardware does not yield local radiation that can affect
other equipment, such as TVs and computer monitors.
