It does not support ad-hoc, Wi-Fi Direct Group Owner, Hotspot or any other peer-to-peer modes that may initiate a network in DFS channels(UNII2-2A and UNII2-2C band) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC`s 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 undesirable operation. To satisfy FCC exterior labeling requirements, the following text must be placed on the exterior of the end-product. Contains Transmitter module FCC ID: A3LWCD940M 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.
-The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module.
-The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications. 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 operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules. This module cannot be installed in a weatherized enclosure and cannot operate from a battery but only power sources. The host device must be connected to a power source as it has no battery. This module is intended for OEM integrators only. Per FCC KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01 guidance, the following conditions must be strictly followed when using this certified module:
KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01 rule sections:
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules This module has been tested for compliance with CFR 47 FCC Part 15 C (15.247, DTS and DSS) and CFR 47 FCC Part 15 E (NII). It is applicable to the modular transmitter 2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions The module is tested for standalone mobile RF exposure use condition. Any other usage conditions such as co-
location with other transmitter(s) will need a separate reassessment through a class II permissive change application or new certification. Further operation restrictions on the host product include:
*Prohibited for control of or Communications with unmanned aircraft systems. This radio transmitter FCC ID: A3LWCD940M has been approved by Federal Communications Commission to operate with the integrated PCB antenna. Use of any other antenna is strictly prohibited without filing an application for a new system-specific FCC ID. 2.4 Limited module procedures Not applicable. The module complies with FCC Part 15.247 / Part 15.407 and applies for Single module approval. 2.5 Trace antenna designs Not applicable. The antenna is integrated into the module and cannot be modified. See section 2.3. 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. A separate SAR/Power Density evaluation is required to confirm compliance with relevant FCC portable RF exposure rules. 2.7 Antennas Note 1: Use of other antenna types or the same type of antenna with higher gain than listed above must perform additional testing and appropriate permissive change approval. Note 2: Additional testing/submission (C2PC) will be required if the device does not meet the antenna and RF exposure requirements. Note 3: Contact Samsung for additional guidance, if choose to use different antenna types or higher/lower gain antennas in the end system. IMPORTANT: The final host product must have an integral antenna that is not removable by the end user. Antenna Type & Antenna Gain:

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 transmitters need 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 with this portion of rule requirements if applicable. If all conditions above are met, further transmitter tests will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their 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 FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC 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 FCC authorization. 2.11 Note EMI Considerations The host manufacture is recommended to use 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. 2.12 How to make changes This module is stand-alone modular. If the end product will involve the Multiple simultaneously transmitting condition or different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, host manufacturer have to consult with module manufacturer for the installation method in end system. Manual Information to the End User The OEM integrator must be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users 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. OEM/Host manufacturer responsibilities OEM/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. Modules: extended to host manufacturers by integration instructions. IMPORTANT NOTE This device complies with FCC & IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device should be installed and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) This module may not be co-located with any other transmitters or antennas. 2) The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users. As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter tests will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance requirements with this module installed. In the event that these conditions cannot be met, then the FCC & IC authorizations are no longer considered valid, and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product including this module and obtaining separate FCC
& IC authorizations. Contact info for above certified FCC:
