Page 3 of 3 Revision History Revision Revision Description of Changes Feb. 1, 2011 Initial release Page 4 of 4 Introduction This document describes mandatory steps required by the OEM integrator when designing and manufacturing any host PC system utilizing this Atheros radio module. Also refer to the Atheros Regulatory Compliance Guide available on the Atheros customer support site and from the Atheros customer support contact person. This document lists the mandatory responsibilities and actions of the OEM integrator. Failure to comply with all requirements and conditions in this document may result in non-compliance of the host PC with FCC rules and invalidate the Atheros FCC certification for the module. This guide applies to this Client modules that act under control of an Access Point. Page 5 of 5 Max. average output power at antenna terminal Page 6 of 6 Allowed Antennas to be used with the Radio Module The Integrator must request from Atheros sales or regulatory contact person the current list of allowable antennas for use with the specific radio module. This information is not available on the public FCC database but will be provided by Atheros. Atheros will provide a table of antenna type(s) models, cable lengths, and peak gain in each band. Generally, the list will include Omni-directional Inverted-F (PIFA) and stamped metal/film antennas for use inside laptops. In some cases, dipole antenna types may be included in the available list. Peak gain including cable losses are quoted in the table provided by Atheros. Use of any of the antennas in the list (identical or equivalent antenna with lower gain, dimensions and cable lengths) is acceptable in the host device, without any further FCC testing or submission. However, use of an antenna that is higher gain than those on the list or is a Different Type, requires additional testing and submission to the FCC. Therefore, antennas with higher gain or different type than specified by Atheros may not be used with the Atheros module until new testing and reporting is completed. You must contact the Atheros Regulatory Group to report any higher gain or new antenna type to be used with the module. Antenna Placement This 1x1 802.11 a/b/g/n module has been certified by FCC as single module approval with the following restrictions: • The most conservative antenna-to-user separation distance shall be greater than 2 cm to end user or near-by person. 2 cm physical separation distance is measured by positioning the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computers perpendicular to the keyboard section. Measure the distance from the nearest point of antenna to the bottom of host. • Consult with Atheros to determine the allowable rotational orientations for vertical and horizontal antenna installation in applicable host devices. • When antenna is installed in the typical notebook/Netbook/laptop computer platform, the antenna cable shall be positioned away from antenna elements to conform to configuration tested for compliance. • When the antennas are installed in the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computer platform, the display section shall not have metallic components and material that can influence or change the operating and exposure characteristics of…

Power listed is conducted. Evaluation performed to establish the most conservative antenna-to-user separation distance of 2.0 cm for portable module installed in Laptop/Notebook/Netbook and Tablet Computers. The antenna(s) used for this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 2.0 cm from all persons. Compliance of this device in all final product configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee. Grantee must coordinate with OEM integrators to determine applicable host configurations to ensure RF exposure compliance, including simultaneous transmission SAR requirements according to published KDB 616217 Supplement documentation. For mobile configuration, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This module may be installed only by the OEM or an OEM integrator. Only antenna(s) documented under this FCC ID number may be used with this transmitter. When all conditions of this filing cannot be met, installation of this device into specific final products may require the submission of a permissive change or new application, where appropriate, containing data demonstrating compliance for SAR, spurious emissions, and host / module authentication. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. OEM/Host integrator is responsible for complying with the instructions and requirements for each individual transmitter they choose to incorporate into a host product. The highest measured body SAR value @ 2.0 cm antenna-to-user separation distance in Laptop/Notebook/Netbook and Tablet Computers platform is: 0.377 W/kg.
