Detailed Module Integration Details

FCCID: 2AAJXQS-IS

Regulatory Module Integration Instructions

This module has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. OEM integrators for host
products may use the module in their final products without additional FCC / IC (Industry Canada)
certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, additional FCC / IC approvals must be
obtained.

• The host product with the module installed must be evaluated for simultaneous transmission

requirements.

• The user’s manual for the host product must clearly indicate the operating requirements and

conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC / IC RF exposure
guidelines.

• To comply with FCC / IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human

exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only
exposure condition must not exceed 2dBi

• A label must be affixed to the outside of the host product with the following statements:

This device contains FCCID: 2AAJXQS-IS
This equipment contains equipment certified under IC: 11205A-QSIS

The final host / module combination may also need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for
unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device.

If the final host / module combination is intended for use as a portable device (see classifications below)
the host manufacturer is responsible for separate approvals for the SAR requirements from FCC Part

2.1093 and RSS-102.

Device Classifications

Since host devices vary widely with design features and configurations module integrators shall follow
the guidelines below regarding device classification and simultaneous transmission, and seek guidance
from their preferred regulatory test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will impact the device
compliance. Proactive management of the regulatory process will minimize unexpected schedule delays
and costs due to unplanned testing activities.

The module integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their host device and
the user’s body. The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the correct
determination. Note that these classifications are guidelines only; strict adherence to a device
classification may not satisfy the regulatory requirement as near-body device design details may vary
widely. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the appropriate device category for
your host product and if a KDB or PBA must be submitted to the FCC.

Note, the module you are using has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Portable
applications may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also likely that the host / module
combination will need to undergo testing for FCC Part 15 regardless of the device classification. Your
preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the exact tests which are required on the host /
module combination.

FCC Definitions

Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that
the radiating structure(s) of the device is / are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.

Mobile: (§2.1091) (b) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other
than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20
centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the
user or nearby persons. Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular or desktop
transmitters), the potential conditions of use of a device may not allow easy classification of that device
as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases, applicants are responsible for determining minimum
distances for compliance for the intended use and installation of the device based on evaluation of
either specific absorption rate (SAR), field strength, or power density, whichever is most appropriate.
