FCC Grant Notes
The OEM should follow all the grant notes listed below. Otherwise, further testing and device approvals may be
necessary.
The antenna gain, including cable loss, for the radio you are incorporating into your product design must not
exceed the requirements at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz as specified by the FCC grant for mobile operations and
fixed mounted operations as defined in 2.1091 and 1.1307 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. Power output listed is conducted.
This device is a mobile device with respect to RF exposure compliance. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter
must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons, and must not be collocated
or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter
product guidelines. Installers and end-users must be provided with specific information required to satisfy RF
exposure compliance for installations and final host devices. (See note under Grant Limitations.) Compliance of
this device in all final host configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee. The highest permitted antenna
gains including cable losses for use with this device are: Part 22: 10 dBi; Part 24: 8.94 dBi.
Grant Limitations
This device has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Portable applications may require
further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. Examples of mobile devices include wireless routers, desktop
computers, utility meters, etc. Examples of portable applications include devices such as a laptop, USB dongle,
mobile phone, tablet PC, and any device that can be worn on the body during use.
Your final product with this embedded device may need to pass FCC Part 15B.
This device has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous transmission. Any simultaneous transmission
conditions should be evaluated per the current FCC KDB 447498 requirements. Simultaneous transmission
requirements for mobile devices are contained in Section 8.
KDB 447498 Section 8
a) Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions and categorically
excluded by § 2.1091(c) can be incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing or
certification when:
i) The closest separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is ≥ 20 cm;
or
ii) The antenna separation distance and MPE compliance boundary requirements that enable all
simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated within the host to comply with MPE limits
are specified in the application filing of at least one of the certified transmitters incorporated
in the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for portable use are
incorporated in a mobile host device the antenna(s) must be ≥ 5 cm from all other
simultaneous transmitting antennas.
b) All antennas in the final product must be at least 20 cm from users and nearby persons.
If the host device requires further authorization, consult an accredited FCC laboratory for guidance.
FCC Definitions
Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the
radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
Mobile: (§2.1091) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is
normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.
Host Labeling
The following statements are required to be on the host label:
This device contains FCC ID: {Add the FCC ID of the specific device}
This device contains equipment certified under IC ID: {Add the IC ID of the specific device}
For labeling examples, see Cellular Approvals and Labeling Requirements.
