2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements5
Additional guidance for testing host products is given in KDB Publication 996369 D04 Module
Integration Guide. Test modes should take into consideration different operational conditions for
a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting
modules or other transmitters in a host product.
The grantee should provide information on how to configure test modes for host product
evaluation for different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host,
versus with multiple, simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host.
Grantees can increase the utility of their modular transmitters by providing special means, modes,
or instructions that simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter. This can
greatly simplify a host manufacturer’s determination that a module as installed in a host complies
with FCC/IC requirements.
Explanation: Top band can increase the utility of our modular transmitters by providing instructions
that simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B/ICES-003 disclaimer
The grantee should include a statement that the modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for
the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC/IC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and that the host product
manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC/IC rules that apply to the host not
covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their product as
being Part 15 Subpart B/ICES-003 compliant (when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital
circuity), then the grantee shall provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires
Part 15 Subpart B/ICES-003 compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
Explanation: The module without unintentional-radiator digital circuity, so the module does not
require an evaluation by FCC Part 15 Subpart B/ICES-003. The host shoule be evaluated by the
FCC Subpart B/ICES-003.
