QCA9008-SBD1 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-SBD1 FCC ID: PPD-QCA9008-SBD1 IC: 4104A-QCA9008SBD1 Ver. 1.0 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 4 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA9008-SBD1 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 301 489-1, EN 301 489-3 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 Each importer/distributor needs to file for import permission Singapore Recommend use of importers own local radio dealer number Israel Additional approval certificate required for importer Indonesia Certificate B is required for each importer China Only Limited Modular approval is possible for the module acc. Additional submission for system approval is required. Brazil Tablets require system level SAR evaluation and submission to ANATEL. Philippines Modular approval not accepted. Requires system approval Vietnam Modular approval not accepted. Requires system approval Ver. 1.0 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 5 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA9008-SBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions Modular radio certification is not possible in some countries. For such countries, OEM integrators must ensure radio certification for the end system is obtained, before placing the product on the market. A current list of applicable countries can be provided by Qualcomm Atheros. Please contact your Qualcomm Atheros account representative if you have questions about the additional regulatory conformance testing and/or related submissions. Ver. 1.0 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 6 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA9008-SBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 5 Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings Programmed into EEPROM This file contains the transmit power settings that are to be programmed into the Module during original manufacturing as well as the boarddata file from Software. The board data information to be provided by Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. and please contact QC account representative for detail of board data file. NOTE: Programming in higher values than provided for in this file will invalidate all radio certifications for this module. Ver. 1.0 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 7 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA9008-SBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 6 Antenna Placement inside the Host System and RF Safety For 60GHz antenna, the antenna-to -user separation distance must be greater than 20 cm. WARNING: Failure to adhere to these separation/spacing rules will invalidate the FCC certification for the Module. 7 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 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. 8 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. Ver. 1.0 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 8 Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA9008-SBD1 Modular Certification OEM Integrator Instructions 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. 9 Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host NOTE: Explanatory text in red font must not be included in the final label. 9.1 FCC The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example wording is:
Contains:
FCC ID: XXX-XXXXXXX IC: XXXXX-XXXXXX
(Replace Xs with actual IDs found in section 2). The FCC requires a logo signifying emissions compliance on the outside of the host system. Additional options are available for placement of the FCC label on the host. Please refer to the FCC Knowledge Database KDB784748 found at https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm. NOTE: The Integrator is responsible to perform FCC Part 15 Class B digital emissions testing on the end system with the radio Module installed. The FCC logo below should not be affixed unless the OEM integrator has obtained the necessary Part 15 approval, e.g., self-declaration of conformity. If the host system is approved to FCC Class B digital emissions limits under a grant of certification issued by a TCB, the FCC ID number shown on the grant should be used on the label instead of the FCC logo below.
