RF exposure considerations
It is essential for module grantees to clearly and explicitly state the RF exposure conditions that permit
a host product manufacturer to use the module. Two types of instructions are required for RF exposure
information: (1) to the host product manufacturer, to define the application conditions (mobile, portable
– xx cm from a person’s body); and (2) additional text needed for the host product manufacturer to
provide to end users in their end-product manuals. If RF exposure statements and use conditions are
not provided, then the host product manufacturer is required to take responsibility of the module
through a change in FCC ID (new application).
Explanation: This module comlies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This module is designed to comply with the FCC statement,
fcc id is:2AW7I-VEV
2.7 Antennas
A list of antennas included in the application for certification must be provided in the instructions. For
modular transmitters approved as limited modules, all applicable professional installer instructions
must be included as part of the information to the host product manufacturer. The antenna list shall
also identify the antenna types (monopole, PIFA, dipole, etc. (note that for example an “omni-
directional antenna” is not considered to be a specific “antenna type”)).
For situations where the host product manufacturer is responsible for an external connector, for
example with an RF pin and antenna trace design, the integration instructions shall inform the installer
that unique antenna connector must be used on the Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host
product. The module manufacturers shall provide a list of acceptable unique connectors.
Explanation: This module use PCB antenna. Antenna Gain:0dBi
2.8Label and compliance information
Grantees are responsible for the continued compliance of their modules to the FCC rules. This
includes advising host product manufacturers that they need to provide a physical or e-label stating
“Contains FCC ID” with their finished product. See Guidelines for Labeling and User Information for RF
Devices – KDB Publication 784748.
Explanation: On the metal shielding shell, there is space for printing basic information such as
the name and model of the product, and the id :2AW7I-VEV is included.
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements5
Additional guidance for testing host products is given in KDB Publication 996369 D04 Module
Integration Guide. Test modes should take into consideration different operational conditions for a
stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting modules
or other transmitters in a host product.
The grantee should provide information on how to configure test modes for host product evaluation for
different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, versus with multiple,
simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host.
Grantees can increase the utility of their modular transmitters by providing special means, modes, or
instructions that simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter. This can greatly
simplify a host manufacturer’s determination that a module as installed in a host complies with FCC
requirements.
Explanation: Data transfer module demo board can control the EUT work in RF test mode at
specified test channel.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The grantee should include a statement that the modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the
specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and that the host product
manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered
by the modular transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15
Subpart B compliant (when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall
provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing
with the modular transmitter installed.
Explanation: The module without unintentional-radiator digital circuity, so the module do not
require an evaluation by FCC part15 subpart B. The host should be evaluated by the FCC
subpart B.
