10.1.4 RF exposure considerations:
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
must ensure to install the approved antenna following the guidelines in Chapter 7.
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals, for products
operating with the approved antenna in Chapter 7 on page 11, to alert users on FCC RF
Exposure compliance. Any notification to the end user of installation or removal instructions
about the integrated radio module is not allowed.
The radiated output power of OTX-18 with the trace antenna and the approved BLE antenna is
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, use OTX-18 in such a manner
that minimizes the potential for human contact during normal operation.
End users may not be provided with the module installation instructions. OEM integrators and
end users must be provided with transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance.
10.1.5 Antennas:
Refer to Chapter 7 for the Design Guidelines and the antenna selection. If the OEM integrator
wishes to choose an alternative antenna, it’s peak gain should never exceed the gain of the
listed antennas.
Refer to Chapter 10.4 for the OEM integrator instructions.
10.1.6 Label and compliance information:
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that FCC labelling requirements are
met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the OEM enclosure specifying the
appropriate Onethinx FCC identifier for this product as well as the FCC Notice above.
The FCC identifier is FCC ID: 2AUBKOTX-18. In any case the end product must be labeled
exterior with "Contains FCC ID: 2AUBKOTX-18".
10.1.7 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements:
Refer to the OTX-18_operation_guide for more information for configuring the test modes of
the modular transmitter.
Contact Onethinx BV for specific information on the additional testing requirements.
10.1.8 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer:
All final host products must be tested to be compliant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B standards.
While the Onethinx OTX-18 module was tested to be complaint to FCC unintentional radiator
standards, FCC Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing is still required for the final host product.
This testing is required for all end products. Onethinx OTX-18 compliance does not affirm the
end product’s compliance.
