2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements.
Information on test modes:
The host manufacturer can use software for access to the test modes. Connected to the device
through the serial port of the host product and control the module. If it does not work, then the
host product manufacturer should coordinate with the module manufacturer for access to test
mode software.
The following provides guidance to host product when installing this module on how they may
verify the end product:
A. If the modular transmitter has been fully tested by the module grantee on the required
number of channels, modulation types, and modes, it should not be necessary for the host
installer to re-test all the available transmitter modes or settings. It is recommended that the
host product manufacturer, installing the modular transmitter, perform some investigative
measurements to confirm that the resulting composite system does not exceed the spurious
emissions limits or band edge limits(e.g., where a different antenna may be causing
additional emissions).
B. The testing should check for emissions that may occur due to the intermixing of emissions
with the other transmitters, digital circuitry, or due to physical properties of the host product
(enclosure). This investigation is especially important when integrating multiple modular
transmitters where the certification is based on testing each of them in a stand-alone
configuration. It is important to note that host product manufacturers should not assume
that because the modular transmitter is certified that they do not have any responsibility for
final product compliance.
C. If the investigation indicates a compliance concern the host product manufacturer is
obligated to mitigate the issue. Host products using a modular transmitter are subject to all
the applicable individual technical rules as well as to the general conditions of operation in
sections 15.5, 15.15, and 15.29 to not cause interference. The operator of the host product
will be obligated to stop operating the device until the interference has been corrected.
