MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION QCA9008-TBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 1 Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing a Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) design radio module (the Module). Failure to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC certification and authorization of the Module for use in the U.S. and in other countries. The Qualcomm Atheros modular certifications described in this document apply only to radio conformance for the Module. The OEM integrator is responsible for all system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that apply to the host system in the U.S. and other countries where the system will be marketed or sold. 2 Applicable Module Part Number: QCA9008-TBD1 FCC ID: PPD-QCA9008-TBD1 IC: 4104A-QCA9008TBD1 Ver. 1.0 4 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION QCA9008-TBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 3 Available Global Modular Approvals from Qualcomm Atheros Module certification is limited to those countries for which Qualcomm Atheros has obtained radio modular approvals. Integrators can access the current list of certified countries in one of two ways:

1. Log on to the Qualcomm CreatePoint system. Search regulatory document under Chip model QCA6320. Or, if you do not have access to the Qualcomm CreatePoint system, then:

2. Contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative to request access to the country list and modular certificates. OEM integrators must receive their own radio certification for any country in which the system will be sold if a modular certification for that country is not available from Qualcomm Atheros. 4 Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator The global modular certifications apply to radio conformance for the Module only. The OEM integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries to the host system containing the Module. This includes, but is not limited to, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 15 Class B Digital Emissions, China CCC, Taiwan BSMI, Korea KC, ETSI EN 301 489-17 and others. These system-level EMC tests are to be done with the Module installed and included in the scope of the submission. Some of the countries for which modular certifications are provided require additional submissions, authorizations or import permission by the system-vendor or importer. The integrator is responsible for these additional actions. By way of example, the OEM integrator must take additional action for radio certification in these countries:

Malaysia Singapore Israel Indonesia China Brazil Philippines Vietnam Each importer/distributor needs to file for import permission Recommend use of importers own local radio dealer number Additional approval certificate required for importer Certificate B is required for each importer Only Limited Modular approval is possible for the module acc. Additional submission for system approval is required. Tablets require system level SAR evaluation and submission to ANATEL. Modular approval not accepted.

NOTE: Programming in higher values than provided for in this file will invalidate all radio certifications for this module. 6 Allowable Antennas to Use with the Radio Module The module is certified for use only with certain antennas as described in this section. NOTE: Allowed Antenna Type: PIFA with omnidirectional pattern formed from stamped metal or film. Table 1 Allowed Maximum Gain (dBi), Including Antenna Cable Loss 2.4 GHz 5.150-5.350 GHz 5.470-5.850 GHz 3.62 3.08 4.76 WARNING: Use of other antenna types or the same type of antenna but with higher gain than listed above is not allowed without additional testing and appropriate FCC approval. Use of other similar antennas may only require a C1PC to confirm the performance for SAR is the same or better (i.e. lower) but only an equivalent antenna can be used without any additional testing. Contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative for additional guidance if you decide to use different antenna types or higher gain antennas in the end system. Some examples of antenna types not considered the same type as PIFA are dipole/monopole, PCB trace, patch, and chip antennas. In addition, regulatory agencies in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan require submission of antenna specification sheets for all antenna models used with the QCA module. This notification process must be followed by the integrator before original product launch and whenever new host systems

(with new antenna models) are launched. Notification of All Antenna Models to be used with the Module:

Ver. 1.0 QCA9008-TBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 7 Antenna Placement inside the Host System and RF Safety The FCC and other countries regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the RF exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system and the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user. OEM integrators must take great care to ensure each host system complies with the applicable RF exposure requirements. For 60GHz antenna, the antenna-to -user separation distance must be greater than 20 cm. For 2/5 GHz antennas, the antenna-to-user separation distance must be greater than 2.5 cm

(Applicable for laptop/notebook host where antennas are located in the screen section). WARNING: Failure to adhere to these separation/spacing rules will invalidate the FCC certification for the Module. This separation is measured between the closest point of each transmitting antenna inside the host device to the point of contact by the user or nearby person outside of the host device. For notebooks/netbooks/laptops with antenna in display section, the LCD is opened 90 degrees/perpendicular to the keyboard. The separation distance is then measured from the nearest point of each transmitting antenna to the bottom of the host. Use in the keyboard section of a netbook or laptop or use in a tablet device or convertible tablet would require host-specific testing. For notebooks/netbooks/laptops, the transmitting antenna cables shall be positioned away from antenna elements to conform to the configuration tested for compliance. When transmitting antennas are installed in the display section of notebook/netbook/laptops, the display section shall not have metallic components and material that can influence or change the operating and RF exposure characteristics of the antennas. The separation between the main and aux antennas must be at least 3 cm. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. Where one or more of the conditions above cannot be met for a particular host system, additional testing will be required to secure the necessary certifications for the system. You may contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative with any questions regarding compliance of the host system(s) with these restrictions. NOTE: These restrictions do not apply to a receive-only antenna. 8 Simultaneous Transmission with Other Integrated or Plug-

In Radios The FCC imposes conditions and limitations when additional radio(s) are co-located in the same host system as the Qualcomm Atheros Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. The detailed rules from the FCC are described in various Knowledge Database publications that may Ver. 1.0 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 8 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA9008-TBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions be found using the instructions below. Co-locating other radios such as an integrated or plug in Wireless WAN/cellular radio with the Qualcomm Atheros Wireless LAN module requires additional evaluation and possibly submission for authorization from the FCC. Because the rules are highly dependent on the characteristics of the particular radios that are co-

located and simultaneously transmitting, the OEM integrator should seek guidance from a knowledgeable test lab or consultant to determine if additional testing and FCC certification is required. In this case, failure to evaluate and follow the required FCC procedures will invalidate the FCC certification of the Module and end system. To download the FCC rules for collocated radios:

1. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm 2. Enter 616217 in the publication number search box 3. Download latest applicable version of KDB 616217 document. For expert advice regarding collocation rules, we recommend you contact an FCC-approved Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB)::

1. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm. 2. Choose your country and or state from the pull-down list. 3. Scroll through the search results and choose a TCB contact from which to seek advice. You may also contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative with any questions regarding compliance of the host system(s) with the above restrictions. 9 Module May Not Be Installed by End Users FCC rules require this Module to be installed in host systems at the factory by the OEM integrator. Thus, end users of the system may not install the Module. Therefore, the host product user instructions must not advise the end user on how to access or remove the Module. Additional FCC authorization/filing is needed to allow end user installation of radio modules. If modules are provided to end users for installation in the host, a two-way authentication protocol is required to limit the module to operate only with authorized host systems. Please refer to FCC KDB # 996393 for more detail. 10 Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host NOTE: Explanatory text in red font must not be included in the final label.
