Allowed Antennas to be used with the Radio Module The Integrator must request from Atheros sales or regulatory contact person the current list of allowable antennas for use with the specific radio module. This information is not available on the public FCC database but will be provided by Atheros. Atheros will provide a table of antenna type(s) models, cable lengths, and peak gain in each band.
requirement for simultaneous SAR evaluation and whether Class I or Class II permissive change may apply. A brief summary of the procedures is provided below.
Required Information to be documented in the Class I permissive change report A summary of the information to be included in the Class I permissive change report is listed below. OEM integrators must consult the FCC KDB 616217 Supplement document for details. 1. FCC ID of all transmitters, maximum average conducted output power in each transmission mode and frequency band, operating configurations and exposure conditions approved for the individual transmitters. 2.
Compliance Information: The OEM integrator must incorporate appropriate operating instructions for all the transmitters and antennas installed in the host device with respect to any restrictions required for the individual transmitter certified by the FCC.
