NOTE: The Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) reference design radio module (the “Module”) is designed for use only in specific countries in which QCA has obtained certificates of compliance with local laws and regulations. Therefore, the Module may not be sold, operated or incorporated into products for use in countries for which it has not been certified. See Section 3 herein. In addition, any deviation from the settings, methods, conditions and restrictions for integration of the Module into a host system, as detailed in this document, could be a violation of applicable national law and may be punishable as such, and in such event, the products into which the Module is incorporated may not be lawfully distributed or sold in such countries. QCA assumes no responsibility for any liability or loss related to installation, integration or operation of the Module.

MD335 Modular Certification |
OEM Integrator Instructions |
1 Introduction
This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing a Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) reference design radio module (the
“Module”).
Failure to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC certification and authorization of the Module for use in the U.S. and in other countries.
The Qualcomm Atheros modular certifications described in this document apply only to radio conformance for the Module. The OEM integrator is responsible for all system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that apply to the host system in the U.S. and other countries where the system will be marketed or sold.
This document must be read in conjunction with the document “MD335 MOB Module Certified Antennas and Layout ” which document describes the allowable
antenna options, layout and antenna matching components which must be used with the Qualcomm Atheros MD335 MoB module in order to use the Qualcomm Atheros Modular Certifications available for this MoB and explains the conditions/limitations and actions by end integrators. Failure to follow the requirements in this document will invalidate the FCC and other country modular Certifications. To obtain “MD335 MOB Module
Certified Antennas and Layout” design guidance. Please contact your Qualcomm Atheros account
Representative to request the document depends the business award.

MD335 Modular Certification |
OEM Integrator Instructions |
3Available Global Modular Approvals from Qualcomm Atheros
Module certification is limited to those countries for which Qualcomm Atheros has obtained radio modular approvals. Integrators can access the current list of certified countries in one of two ways:
1.Log on to the Qualcomm Atheros secure customer support site. Follow the links to regulatory certifications.
Search for the folder MD335 on the support site.
Or, if you do not have access to the customer support site, then:
2.Contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative to request access to the country list and modular certificates.
OEM integrators must receive their own radio certification for any country in which the system will be sold if a modular certification for that country is not available from Qualcomm Atheros.
4 Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator
|
The global modular certifications apply to radio conformance for the Module only. |
|
|
The OEM integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety |
|
|
testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries to the host system |
|
|
containing the Module. This includes, but is not limited to, Federal Communications |
|
|
Commission (“FCC”) Part 15 Class B Digital Emissions, China CCC, Taiwan BSMI, Korea |
|
|
KC, ETSI EN 301 489-17 and others. |
|
|
These system-level EMC tests are to be done with the Module installed and included in the |
|
|
scope of the submission. |
|
|
Some of the countries for which modular certifications are provided require additional |
|
|
submissions, authorizations or import permission by the system-vendor or importer. The |
|
|
integrator is responsible for these additional actions. |
|
|
By way of example, the OEM integrator must take additional action for radio certification in |
|
|
these countries: |
|
|
|
|
|
Malaysia |
Each importer/distributor needs to file for import permission |
|
|
|
|
Singapore |
Recommend use of importer’s own local radio dealer number |
|
|
|
|
Israel |
Additional approval certificate required for importer |
|
|
|
Modular radio certification is not possible in some countries. For such countries, OEM |
||
|
integrators must ensure radio certification for the end system is obtained, before placing the |
|
|
product on the market. A current list of applicable countries can be provided by Qualcomm |
|
|
Atheros. |
