PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
4. Regulatory Approvals
4.1 Federal Communications Commission (FCC - US)
4.1.1 Approved Antennae
There are two PCB trace antennas onboard with gains -0.68 dBi for the single band antenna and 0.86 dBi for the dual band antenna.
4.1.2 FCC Notice
The BRD10 complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements, users of this device must ensure that the module be installed and/or configured to
operate with a separation distance of 20cm or more from all persons.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• ·Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
4.1.3 Modular Approval
The BRD10 device meets the requirements for modular transmitter approval as detailed in the §15.212 Modular transmitters rules. It
should be noted that:
“While the applicant for a device into which an authorized module is installed is not required to obtain a new authorization for the module, this
does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing may be required for the device (e.g., a WLAN into which an
authorized module is installed must still be authorized as a PC peripheral, subject to the appropriate equipment authorization).”
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE:
This module is intended for an OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is responsible for the compliance to all the rules that apply to the
product into which this certified RF module is integrated. Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules
are used.
A 20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the host this module is integrated
into. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for a population/ uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
Further RF exposure shall be re-evaluated to the scenario of portable, and collocated use.
USER MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
In the user manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm separation with the antenna while this
end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncon-
trolled environment can be satisfied.
The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.
