FCC
This module has been tested and found to comply with the following requirements for Modular Approval.
Part 15.225 Operation within the band 13.110–14.010 MHz (NFC)
(KDB 996369 D03 section 2.2 List of applicable FCC rules)
RF exposure considerations
In the end product, the antenna(s) used with this transmitter must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with multi-transmitter product procedures. User and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying the RF exposure compliance.
(KDB 996369 D03 section 2.6 RF Exposure considerations)
Antennas
This radio transmitter has been approved by the FCC and ISED to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
| Radio | Antenna Type | Freq. (MHz) |
| NFC | PCB Loop antenna | 13.56 |
(KDB 996369 D03 section 2.7 Antennas)
Required End Product Labeling
Any device incorporating this module must display an external, visible, permanently affixed label with the FCC ID and the ISED certification number preceded by the term as follows.
“ Contains FCC ID: VTV-RFNR30N”
“ Contains IC: 10524A-RFNR30N ”
« Contient IC : 10524A-RFNR30N »
The OEM 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 shown in User manual.
(KDB 996369 D03 section 2.8 Label and compliance information)
Test Modes (FCC)
This device uses various test mode programs for test set up which operate separate from production firmware. Host integrators should contact the grantee for assistance with test modes needed for module/host compliance test requirements. (KDB 996369 D03 section 2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements)
Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer (FCC)
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) 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 final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed. (KDB 996369 D03 section 2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer)
Note EMI Considerations
Note that a host manufacture is recommended to use KDB996369 D04 Module Integration Guide recommending as “best practice” 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 KDB996369 D04 Module Integration Guide and for simultaneous mode; see KDB996369 D02 Module Q&A Question 12, which permits the host manufacturer to confirm compliance. (KDB 996369 D03 section 2.11 Note EMI Considerations)
How to make changes
Only Grantees are permitted to make permissive changes, if the module will be used differently than granted conditions, please contact us to ensure modifications will not affect compliance.
(KDB 996369 D03 section 2.12 How to make changes)
FCC
15.19
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.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
15.105(b)
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.
15.21
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
- This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
- For portable operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines. When used with an accessory that contains metal may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
- To comply with the Canadian RF exposure compliance requirements, this device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
- For portable operation, this device has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
