User's Manual

Additional information on labelling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found
in KDB Publication 784748, which is available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET)

3.1.2 RF Exposure
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. KDB 447498 General RF
Exposure Guidance provides guidance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting
facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields
adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
From the FCC Grant: Output power listed is conducted. This grant is valid only when the module is sold
to OEM integrators and must be installed by the OEM or OEM integrators. This transmitter is restricted
for use with the specific antenna(s) tested in this application for Certification and must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters within a host device, except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
These modules are approved for installation into mobile or/and portable host platforms.
This module can only be used with a host antenna circuit trace layout design in strict compliance with
the OEM instructions provided.
3.1.3 Approved Antenna Types
To maintain modular approval in the United States, only the antenna types that have been tested shall
be used. It is permissible to use a different antenna, provided the same antenna type and antenna gain
(equal to or less than) is used. An antenna type comprises antennas having similar in-band and out-of
band radiation patterns.
Antenna approved for ATSAMR30M18A module with the antenna type are listed in the section
Approved Antenna.
3.2 Canada
The ATSAMR30M18A module has been certified for use in Canada under Innovation, Science, and
Economic Development (ISED, formerly Industry Canada) Radio Standards Procedure (RSP) RSP-100,
Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-Gen and RSS-247. Modular approval permits the installation of a
module in a host device without the need to recertify the device.
ATSAMR30M18A has been tested with BPSK-ALT-40, OQPSK-SIN-250 and OQPSK-SIN-1000-SCR-ON PHY
modulation modes for ISED modular approval. The user must restrict the PHY modulation mode to the
above specified modes for usage in Canada.
3.2.1 Labelling and User Information Requirements
Labelling Requirements (from RSP-100 - Issue 10, Section 3): The host device shall be properly labelled
to identify the module within the host device.
Due to the limited module size of ATSAMR30M18A (12.7 mm x 11 mm), the Innovation, Science, and
Economic Development Canada certification number identifier is displayed only in the datasheet and
