12 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATIONS
12.1 ABOUT THE FINAL PRODUCT
PowerTrunk agrees on the document Transmitter Module Equipment Authorization Guide [2].
A transmitter with a modular or limited modular grant can be installed in different end-use products (referred
to as a host, host product, or host device) by the grantee or an integrator; and the host may not require
additional testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter functions provided by that specific module or
limited module.
This device is offered as a limited single-modular transmitter, subject to the licensed radio services rules.
Its compliance with IC and FCC rules can be demonstrated only for:
 Specific hosts, which must provide an external power supply regulation.
The integrator shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper power supply is employed.
 Professional installation of the end-use product, which is consistent with having a standard antenna
connector.
The installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed.
 If used in a "portable" application, then the integrator is responsible for passing additional "as
installed" testing; SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, with results submitted to the FCC for
approval prior to selling the integrated unit.
If used in a "mobile" or “fixed” application, the information in Section 12.4 must be included in the
integrator user manual and an appropriate warning label must be placed on the host unit adjacent to
the antenna.
This exterior label can use wording such as the following:
“Restricted to occupational use to safety FCC RF energy exposure limits. See user manual for
awareness and control information”.
A host product is required to comply with all applicable IC and FCC equipment authorizations regulations,
requirements and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module portion.
To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring
compliance with the module installed and fully operational.
If the application hardware or software changes, the integrator is responsible for verifying the effect, and if
needed, to perform all required actions again.
Modular or limited modular grant for transmitters under the rules for licensed devices is permitted for the
following conditions:
i. The modular transmitter is a completely self-contained radiofrequency transmitter device, designed
to be incorporated into another device. It doesn´t consist of a radio front end and a transmitter control
element.
ii. Once given the above limitations, the modular transmitter respects the following guidelines for good
engineering practice:
- The radio elements have their own shielding.
- The modular transmitter has buffered modulation/data inputs to ensure that the device will
comply with IC and FCC requirements with any type of input signal.
