RF Exposure
This WLAN module meets the FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile exposure found in FCC Part 2.1091. The module should be installed into hosts which will allow users to maintain at least 20cm separation distance from the host antennas. If the module is installed into a host which will be used in portable exposure conditions where the antennas will be closer than 20cm to the user, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing must be performed at the host level according to the requirements of FCC KDB’s 865664, 447498, 248227, and any other applicable SAR standards to demonstrate compliance with FCC Part 2.1093.
INFORMATION TO THE USER
Note:
1. This module is intended for use in Microsoft Host Devices only.
2. In the following sections, “equipment” refers to the module tested in the standalone configuration.
FCC Statements
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. Transmitters in the 5.925-7.125 GHz band are prohibited from operating to control or communicate with unmanned aircraft systems.
This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules.

The module was tested in a standalone configuration and is subject to limited modular approval.
2.5 Trace antenna designs
Not applicable.
2.6 RF exposure considerations
This equipment complies with FCC mobile radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body. If the module is installed in a portable host, a separate SAR evaluation is required to confirm compliance with relevant FCC portable RF exposure rules.

Minimum antenna gain of 6GHz is 1.1dBi for UNII-5 and UNII-7 and 0dBi for UNII-6 and UNII-8.
The end product must use a permanently attached antenna or a unique antenna connector.
2.8 Label and compliance information
The end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: C3K00002101”. End-product may also use electronic labeling provided all conditions of 784748 D02 e labeling v02r01 are met. The grantee’s FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
This transmitter is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition and any co-located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) or portable use will require a separate class II permissive change re-evaluation or new certification.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this portion of rule requirements if applicable. As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required except for the host integration test requirements stated in Section 7 of this document. The integrator (Microsoft in this case) is ultimately responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid, and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Manual Information to the End User
The OEM integrator (Microsoft in this case) has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
Host manufacturer responsibilities
Host manufacturers (Microsoft in this case) are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and EMF essential requirements of the FCC rules. This module must not be incorporated into any other device or system without retesting for compliance as multi-radio and combined equipment.
ISED Statements
Industry Canada statement:
This equipment complies with ISED’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ ISED applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with greater than 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: (For module device use)
- The antenna must be installed and operated with greater than 20cm between the antenna and users, and
- The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required, except for the host integration test requirements stated in Section 7 of this document. However, the integrator (Microsoft in this case) is ultimately responsible for testing the end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Canada authorization.
