Please review the submitted Test Report and associated exhibits showing compliance to the 8 requirements listed in DA 00-1407 for obtaining Modular Approval. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this application. Sincerely, Dr. Juergen Kienhoefer CEO Wireless Cables Inc. Request for Single Modular Approval The radio element has its own shielding. This module uses a fully integrated radio on a single silicon chip. The radio portion as well as the baseband DSP and the main processor of this module has been shielded. The RF silicon design was completed with RF shielding on the silicon design and plastic package using a steel cap. Only the crystal and tuning capacitor are located outside the shield. The EUT has buffered data inputs. The silicon chip has an internal 1.35V regulator for radio, baseband and processor. The EUT meets the FCC antenna requirements using an integrated ceramic antenna. For the 9dBi antenna installation please refer to the professional installation document. The EUT was tested in a stand-alone configuration. The modules was fixed on a test fixture with the module fully exposed. Power was supplied through a 9-pin serial to USB interface from a laptop. There is a label showing “Contains FCC ID: SQCBLE1K” at the end product. The proposed label format is included. When the module is installed inside of an end product, OEM customer will be instructed on how to apply the exterior label. Relevant to the OEM labeling requirements are present in the product’s user manual. Highest RF conducted output power and EIRP are below the SAR low power threshold. SAR testing is not applicable.

FCC ID: SQCBLE1K Report Number: R1301253-247 Page 40 of 46 FCC Part 15C Test Report 13 Exhibit A – FCC Equipment Labeling Requirements 13.1 FCC ID Label Requirements As per FCC §2.925, (a) Each equipment covered in an application for equipment authorization shall bear a nameplate or label listing the following: (1) FCC Identifier consisting of the two elements in the exact order specified in §2.926. The FCC Identifier shall be preceded by the term FCC ID in capital letters on a single line, and shall be of a type size large enough to be legible without the aid of magnification. Example: FCC ID: XXX123 Where: XXX—Grantee Code, 123—Equipment Product Code As per FCC §15.19, (a) In addition to the requirements in part 2 of this chapter, a device subject to certification, or verification shall be labeled as follows: (3) All other devices shall bear the following statement in a conspicuous location on the device: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. (4) Where a device is constructed in two or more sections connected by wires and marketed together, the statement specified above is required to be affixed only to the main control unit. If the EUT is integrated within another device then a label affixed to the host shall also state, “Contains FCC ID: XXXXXX” (5) When the device is so small or for such use that it is not practicable to place the statement specified under paragraph (a) of this section on it, the information required by this paragraph shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or, alternatively, shall be placed on the container in which the device is marketed.

Professional Installation Guide for Antennas Antenna Type Due to FCC restrictions the professional installer must ensure that only directional patch type antennas of gains with less or equal of 9dBi are used. For these antenna this device does not require manual power limit settings since the maximum output power of the AIRcable BLE radio module is under 10dBm. Application The omni-directional type antennas must be used directly connected to the AIRcable Host XR without a cable pig-tail. Screw on the antenna to the antenna port of the device and align the antenna vertically to give an optimum horizontal radiation pattern. Antennas of that type with gain of less or equal 9dBi (omni-directional) are certified by the FCC and allowed to use with the AIRcable BLE end products.
