Besides the host with built in memory and the radio system the module also includes a power management circuit, USB connector, battery connector, two neck loop connectors and small discrete components. When the WLP Multi radio module is mounted inside plastic shells for a wireless programming device with a neck loop antenna attached, then the whole product shall normally be placed on the neck of an end user with one or two wireless hearing aids on the ears, also running at a radio frequency of 3.84 MHz. The end product shall be operated by a trained hearing care professional via a PC with SBO certified SW controlling the product through the Bluetooth connection. (Alternatively the USB interface can connect the WLP to the PC). The radio system inside the module includes two radio transceivers; a low power, short range, inductive NL radio transceiver working at 3.84 MHz providing the connection to the WL hearing aids and a Bluetooth radio at 2.4 GHz providing the connection to the PC. The NL radio system is consisting of (see illustrations next page): - A radio transmitter controller and radio receiver circuit - A frequency generating circuit with a 16 MHz crystal reference and - A dedicated neck loop antenna attached to the NL radio. The low power, inductive radio transmitter is consisting of a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) fed with data from the host, a clock oscillator and two switching transistors feeding the modulated RF signal at 3.84MHz to a dedicated neck loop antenna. The Bluetooth radio is a traditional Bluetooth power class 2 device with a maximum radiated output power of +6 dBm EIRP and connected internally to an inverted F antenna directly on the same PCB as the radio system. NB: The WLP Multi radio module is ONLY intended for SBO Hearing and OEM branded products intended for wireless programming of hearing aids at 3.84 MHz. If used for other types of products or systems, SBO cannot guarantee continued conformance with FCC part 15 (or IC) regulations. Because of this and due to limited shielding of the module, the WLP Multi radio module is only approved with a limited modular approval.

The module requires only a battery to be mounted together with its neck loop antenna in an external plastic shell (as shown on the previous page). The module requires no microphones or speakers as no sound, only data is streamed wirelessly to connected devices (e.g. Oticons wireless hearing aids). The module has its power management subsystem including all voltage regulators and the charging circuit on board. Also all data interfaces (input-output) on the board are buffered.

SBO Hearing A/S Federal Communication Commission Equipment Authorization Division, Application Processing Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road, Columbia, MD 21048 7 th of July 2014. SBO Hearing ’WLP Multi’ radio module with FCC ID: 2ACAHWLP020 Limited Modular Approval Request We hereby request to approve the above product as a Limited Modular Approval in accordance with FCC Public Notice KDB 996369 D01 Transmitter Module Equipment Authorization Guide v01r04, released October 2013, and the rules of the Commission regarding modular transmitters (§15.212) operating under FCC’s part 15 about RF Devices. The requirements are met as follows: • 15.212(a)(1)(i) The radio part of the module has no own RF shielding. Therefore we apply only for a Limited Modular Approval (See also §15.212(b)). The module is also constrained to be used by SBO Hearing A/S or its affiliates or sold to Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) only. The module contains a weak RF transmitter and therefore fulfils Part 15 emission limits without any additional RF shielding. The module is a fully integrated radio module for short range wireless programming of hearing aids, including microcontroller host and radio circuits on board and intended for SBO’s and affiliates wireless hearing aids only. Therefore the module cannot be used directly by end users. The behaviour of the wireless module is locked by the design and can only be changed by SBO Hearing A/S or its affiliates, so the compliance of the end product is always ensured. • 15.212(a)(1)(ii) The module includes buffer stages for its external data/programming inputs. • 15.212(a)(1)(iii) The wireless parts of the radio module share the power supply with digital parts, like the microprocessor host. Therefore we apply for a Limited Modular Approval with the same argumentation as in point 15.212(a)(1)(i). • 15.212(a)(1)(iv) The low power inductive radio part of the WLP Multi module has only a dedicated loop antenna connected to it and is mounted together with its battery in a fixed plastic shell, which is normally not interchangable by the end user. • 15.212(a)(1)(v) The radio parts are included together with the microcontroller host inside the WLP Multi module, which was tested in a stand-alone configuration as can be seen in the CETECOM test reports no. 1- 7988/14-02-06 for the NL radio and 1-7988/14-02-05 for the BT radio part. The module requires no external host, only some external plastic parts e.g. holding the battery and the loop antenna in fixed locations. • 15.212(a)(1)(vi) The size of the module is big enough for the regulatory FCC label in its short form to be placed on the side of the plastic shell holding it, besides also to be found in user manuals and the installation guide. • 15.212(a)(1)(vii) The module is compliant with all applicable FCC rules. Maintenance of compliance is always ensured as only Oticon A/S or its affiliates are able to alter the antenna or other wireless related behaviours. • 15.212(a)(1)(viii) The module is compliant with all applicable RF exposure requirements. This is always ensured as only Oticon A/S or its affiliates are able to alter the antenna or other wireless related behaviours.
