The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. The Wi-ME 9210 is completely enclosed in a metal enclosure. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 and Industry Canada requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. All user data is processed and buffered by an internal processor. In addition, the actual 2.4GHz transceiver is, in itself, a registered transceiver module and will not allow the user to effect any part of the transmitted signal. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 and Industry Canada requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. The Wi-ME 9210 contains its own power regulation for the transmitter and other critical circuits. Additionally, the module provides an under voltage lock out by entering an inactive reset state if the Vin drops to 2.93V, 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of FCC Sections 15.203 and 15.204(c) and Industry Canada requirements. The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of FCC Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. The Wi-ME 9210 uses a unique RP-SMA antenna connector. A 2dbi dipole antenna was used for all testing. The antenna mounting and antenna specifications is included in the submittal data and photos. 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in FCC Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see FCC Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see FCC Section 15.31(i)). The Wi-ME 9210 module as tested was mounted on top of a simple stand alone host circuit board. this host PCB provided the module with power and a serial data port. The module was mounted slightly above the host PCB and was exposed to the environment on 5 sides (bottom side is next to host PCB) . 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID / IC number, and, if the FCC ID / IC number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1 / IC: XXX-YYYY” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1 / IC: XXX- YYYY.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Applicant may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The module has an attached label which has the FCC and IC id numbers printed on it. Examples of the label are part of the submitted photos. The reference guide , P/N 90001247 page 47, instructs the user to add the necessary FCC/IC id’s and text to an externally visible label. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under FCC Section 15.231 and Industry Canada specifications. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under FCC Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The transmitter complies with all applicable requirements. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.10…
