WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 1 Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing a Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) reference design radio module (the “Module”). Failure to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC certification and authorization of the Module for use in the U.S. and in other countries.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 3 Available Global Modular Approvals from Qualcomm Atheros Module certification is limited to those countries for which Qualcomm Atheros has obtained radio modular approvals. Integrators can access the current list of certified countries in one of two ways: 1. Log on to the Qualcomm Atheros secure customer support site. Follow the links to regulatory certifications. Search for the folder WB282 on the support site.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Please contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative if you have questions about the additional regulatory conformance testing and/or related submissions.

WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 5 Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings Programmed into EEPROM This file contains the allowable transmit power settings that are to be programmed into the Module during original manufacturing: CTL File Name: ctl_wb282_notxbf.art NOTE: Programming in higher values than provided for in this file will invalidate all radio certifications for this module.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 7 Antenna Placement inside the Host System and RF Safety The FCC and other countries’ regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the RF exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system and the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Because the rules are highly dependent on the characteristics of the particular radios that are colocated and simultaneously transmitting, the OEM integrator should seek guidance from a knowledgeable test lab or consultant to determine if additional testing and FCC certification is required. In this case, failure to evaluate and follow the required FCC procedures will invalidate the FCC certification of the Module and end system.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 10 Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host NOTE: Explanatory text in red font must not be included in the final label. 10.1 FCC The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example wording is: Contains: FCC ID: XXX-XXXXXXX IC: XXXXX-XXXXXX (Replace X’s with actual IDs found in section 2). The FCC requires a logo signifying emissions compliance on the outside of the host system.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 10.3 European Community R&TTE The European Community R&TTE Directive requires the CE Marking shown below on the outside of the host AND on the outside of the shipping container/packaging: The European Community R&TTE Directive also requires the following note to consumers on the outside of the shipping container/packaging: Important Notice: This product is a Radio LAN device operating in 2.4 & 5 GHz bands for Home and Office use in the E.E.A.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 11 Required Labeling on the Module 11.1 FCC labeling on the Module The Integrator must ensure that the FCC ID (as indicated in section 2) is affixed on the Module along with other country certification numbers and logos as described herein. NOTE: The Module ODM may affix regulatory labeling at time of Module manufacturing.
WB282 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 12 Required Regulatory Wording for User Manual/Installation Manual The integrator must include text in the user manual meeting the regulators’ requirements. The text below or similar wording should be used. NOTE: Text in red font must be replaced. 12.1 FCC compliance information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
