Installation Guidance
RFID Module FCC ID: QYLSNNSVG7C01B, IC ID: 10301A-SNNSVG7C01B
-Colocation with other transmitter modules will be addressed through filings for those co-located transmitters when necessary or that colocation of other transmitters will be according to applicable KDB guidelines including those for RF exposure -The final system integrator must ensure there is no instruction provided in the user manual or customer documentation indicating how to install or remove the transmitter – Appropriate labels must be affixed to the product that complies with applicable regulations in all respects. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC ID: QYLSNNSVG7C01B and/or IC: 10301A-SNNSVG7C01B”. – A user’s manual or instruction manual must be included with the product that contains the text as required by applicable law shall be provided to the Host manufacturer integrators. They may include:
1. USA–Federal Communications Commission (FCC) FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: 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. INFORMATION TO USER: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 tuning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna -Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. -Connect the equipment to 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.

FCC Rule parts 15.225 The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts 15.225 listed on the grant, and that 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 modular transmitter does not have its own RF shielding, and was tested inside a specific platform (FCC model:B360, B360 Pro, B360G3, B360 ProG3, B360Y (Y= 10 characters, Y can be 0-9, a-z, A-Z, “-“, “_” or blank for marketing purpose and no impact safety related critical components and constructions.; Brand: Getac) (IC model:B360, B360 Pro, B360G3, B360 ProG3; Brand: Getac)

Antenna Type Loop Antenna

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. 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. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not 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 can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the Host manufacturer integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. Manual Information To the End User The Host manufacturer integrator 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 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 FOR PORTABLE DEVICE USAGE Radiation Exposure Statement: The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.

Information on test modes and additional testing requirements

This module does not contain shielding, and each host integration is required to comply with a Class II

Permissive Change. In addition to RF exposure evaluation based on the exposure conditions and the

co-located transmitters, RF/EMC evaluation needs to be performed as detailed in the table below.
