Manual Information to the End User
1 The OEM integrator must be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or
remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end
user manual must include all required regulatory information and warnings as shown in this manual.
2 RF Function and Frequency Range
The CC3235MODSM2MOB and CC3235MODSF12MOB devices are designed to operate in the WLAN
2.4-GHz and 5-GHz band. The CC3235MODSM2MOB and CC3235MODSF12MOB devices support
the following channels dependent on the region of operation:
• FCC and IC: Ch 1 to 11 (2142 MHz to 2462 MHz) and 36 to 161 (5180 MHz to 5805 MHz)
• EU: Channels 1 through 13 (2142 MHz to 2472 MHz) and 36 to 136 (5180 MHz to 5680 MHz)
• JP: Channels 1 through 13 (2142 MHz to 2472 MHz) and 36 to 136 (5180 MHz to 5680 MHz)
Note that the CC3235MODx devices do not support determination of its region through any external
mechanism. The region is set by the application SW, or at the time of programming of the device. The
end user is unable to change the region of operation at any time.
NOTE: The maximum RF power transmitted in each WLAN 2.4 GHz band is 19 dBm (EIRP power).
The maximum RF power transmitted in each WLAN 5 GHz band is 18.8 dBm (EIRP power).
3 FCC and IC Certification and Statement
This device is intended for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
• The antenna must be installed so 20 cm of space is maintained between the antenna and the users.
• The transmitter module may not be colocated with any other transmitter of antenna.
• To comply with FCC and IC regulations limiting maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF
radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile exposure condition must not
exceed:
– +2.5 dBi in WLAN 2.4 GHz
– +4.5 dBi in WLAN 5 GHz
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example, certain laptop configurations or
colocation with another transmitter), then the FCC and IC authorization is no longer considered valid
and the FCC and IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining
a separate FCC and IC authorization.
3.1 FCC
The TI CC3235MODx modules are certified for FCC as a single-modular transmitter. The module is an
FCC-certified radio module that carries a modular grant.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
