Specific Operational Use Conditions

• This radio module is for OEM integration only and cannot be sold to general public.
• The company E-Shock S.r.l. is the Grantee of this FCC ID / IC. This radio module is exclusively for integration into host devices manufactured by E-Shock S.r.l. only.

Limited Module Procedures

This modular transmitter has been tested in a “non-standalone” configuration – i.e., embedded in a test jig board – for compliance with Part 15 requirements.
The module requires the host integrator to file a Class II permissive change for each specific host, considering the test plan detailed in chapter 5.4.
A host manufacture is recommended to use FCC’s KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide V01 as “best practice” for RF design engineering, testing and evaluation.

OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC Regulations

1. General Considerations
   This modular transmitter has been tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B and ICES-003 requirements, which are applicable to the final host. The final host shall be assessed for compliance with the requirements of the above Regulations, as applicable.
2. Host Manufacturer Responsibilities
   Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the full compliance of the host system before it can be placed on the US/Canadian market.
   This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with all applicable radio and RF Exposure requirements of the FCC and ISED rules.
   Note: this radio module is designed for integration into end products manufactured by E-Shock S.r.l., which assumes full responsibility for the final compliance.
3. Multi-Radio Systems
   This module must not be incorporated into any other radio system without retesting for compliance as multi-radio and combined equipment.
   In case of any co-located radio transmitter being allowed to transmit simultaneously, or in case of portable use at closer distances from the human body than those allowing the exceptions rules to be applied, a separate additional SAR evaluation will be required, ultimately leading to a Class II Permissive Change, or more rarely to a new Grant.

Note: if these conditions cannot be met, then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid, and the FCC ID/IC identifiers cannot be used on the final product. Then for the FCC/ISED authorization to remain valid, the final product will have to undergo additional testing to evaluate the RF exposure and a Permissive Change will have to be applied. The evaluation (SAR) is in the responsibility of the end-product’s manufacturer, as well as the Permissive Change that can be carried out with the help of a Telecommunication Certification Body.

Test plan (KDB996369 D01)
Module integrator shall confirm and demonstrate compliance with the following test plan:

• Perform Maximum Output Power test (radiated) according to Part 15.247 / KDB558074 D01 (IEEE 802.11b, frequency: 2462 MHz, ch.11; data rate: 1.0 Mbps )
• Check band edge compliance according to Part 15.247 / KDB558074 for lowest channel (IEEE 802.11b, frequency: 2412 MHz, ch.1; data rate: 1 Mbps D01)
• Check band edge compliance according to Part 15.247 / KDB558074 for upper channel (IEEE 802.11b, frequency: 2462 MHz, ch.11; data rate: 1 Mbps D01)
• Perform radiated spurious emission (frequency range 1 GHz – 25 GHz) according to Part 15.247 (IEEE 802.11b, frequency: 2437 MHz, ch.6; data rate: 1 Mbps)
  Note: radiated spurious emission test must be carried out with all transmitters active if they can operate simultaneously.
• Demonstrate compliance with human exposure requirements according to 47 CFR Part 2, § 2.1091/ KDB447498 D01 (see also chapter 7).
• Final host system requires compliance testing according to 47 CFR Part 15.

Antenna Design

Type of antenna
The antenna must be embedded according to the following instruction:

Please refer Tvpe1DX Antenna P2ML4452-1-A.dxf (see following drawing):

Antenna gain
Antenna gain must be lower than 0.6 dBi.

RF Exposure Conditions
This modular transmitter complies with FCC and ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna should be installed and operated at a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and the human body.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures (see chapter 5.3).

End Product Labelling
Due to the small dimensions of this modular transmitter, FCC ID, as well as IC and HVIN identifiers, are reported in the User Manual. A removable label is also attached to the product. End product must be labeled in a visible area with the following text:

• “Contains FCC ID: 2BOUM-CU02”
• “Contains IC: 33848-CU02”

as applicable.
