5. Trace Antenna Designs: Applicable

Please perform the trace antenna design following the specifications of the antenna.

The concrete contents of a check are the following three points:

1. It is the same type as the antenna type in the antenna specifications. Confirm the same size as the Gerber file.
2. An antenna gain is lower than a gain given in antenna specifications. Measure the gain and confirm the peak gain is less than the application value.
3. The emission level is not getting worse. Measure the spurious and confirm degradation of less than 3dB compared to the spurious value of the worst-case report used for the application. Please send these reports to Murata.

Refer to Antenna in Section 6 of the installation manual.

6. RF Exposure Considerations: Applicable

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from a person's body.

When the host is a portable device, it is necessary to take a SAR test with your set mounting this module (except to use only Bluetooth LE or 2.4GHz-WLAN).

A Class II permissive change application is necessary using the SAR report. Please contact Murata at www.murata.com.

An application for a Class II permissive change from Mobile equipment to Portable equipment is also required.

Note:

• Portable equipment: Equipment for which the spaces between the human body and antenna are used within 20cm.
• Mobile equipment: Equipment used at a position in which the spaces between the human body and antenna exceed 20cm.

7. Antennas: Applicable

*1: The connector is present, but the feed point is the soldered land portion of the module's RFOUT terminal.

8. Label and Compliance Information: Applicable

The following statements must be described on the user manual of the host device of this module:

Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: VPYLB1VY934 or Contains FCC ID: VPYLB1VY934

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.

*If it is difficult to describe this statement on the host product due to size, please describe it in the User's manual.

FCC CAUTION

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)

Data transmission is always initiated by software, passed down through the MAC, digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

Frequency Tolerance: ±20 ppm

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Installation Warnings

When installing in mobile equipment: Please describe the following warning in the manual:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from a person's body.

When installing in portable equipment: Please describe the following warning in the manual:

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. Type1VY-934 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

It is necessary to take a SAR test with your set mounting this module (except to use only Bluetooth V4.2(LE)).

A Class II permissive change application is necessary using the SAR report. Please contact Murata at www.murata.com.

Note:

• Portable equipment: Equipment for which the spaces between the human body and antenna are used within 20cm.
• Mobile equipment: Equipment used at a position in which the spaces between the human body and antenna exceed 20cm.

9. Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements: Applicable

Please check the installation manual first.

Please contact Murata at www.murata.com if you have any questions when conducting the RF certification test on the host. Murata is ready to present the control manual and others for the RF certification test.

10. Additional Testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer: Applicable

The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.

The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.

11. Note EMI Considerations: Applicable

Host manufacturers are recommended to use KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide as a "best practice" for RF design engineering testing and evaluation in case non-linear interactions generate additional non-compliant limits due to module placement to host components or properties.

For standalone mode, reference the guidance in D04 Module Integration Guide. For simultaneous mode, see D02 Module Q&A Question 12, which permits the host manufacturer to confirm compliance.

12. How to Make Changes: Applicable

When changing from the conditions of approval, please present technical documentation that is equivalent to a Class I change.

For example, when adding or changing an antenna, the following technical documents are required:

1. The document indicating the same type as the original antenna.
2. Technical document showing that the gain is the same or lower than the gain at the time of the original approval.
3. Technical document showing that the spurious is no more than 3 dB worse than when it was originally certified.
