2. Overview
Design Notes
Design Notes
Host
The Q58 requires only a power supply and SPI bus connection to operate. Conditioning
circuitry prevents host power supply noise from adversely affecting radio performance.
Nevertheless, good design and layout practices will insure optimum performance. Keep
power and signal traces connected to the Q58 separated from noisy clocks and
fast-transition signals. Switching power supplies with switching frequencies above
500kHz are optimal. Power supply ripple should be 100mV or less. Connections to
power pins should be wider than signal pins and appropriate for the maximum current.
Antenna
Location
Position approved antennas away from any ground planes or metal components.

Q58 REGULATORY INFORMATION
Introduction
RF modules like the Q58 are intended for original equipment manufacturers who wish
to add a wireless interface to their products without incurring the cost of regulatory
testing as an intentional radiator. To market products in different parts of the world,
OEMs must comply with rules established by different regulatory agencies as follows.
Radio Frequency Notifications
FCC
Notifications
Q58 802.15.4 SPI Modules comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. To
fulfill FCC Certification requirements, the OEM must comply with the following
regulations:
1. The Q58 must be labelled with its own FCC ID number and, if the FCC ID is not
visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the
device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed module.
2. Only the tested and approved antennas listed in Table ?? may be used with the
module.
OEM Labeling
Requirements
WARNING: The OEM must ensure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This
includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the final product enclosure that displays
the contents shown in Figure 1.
Contains FCC ID: VQ458Q3
Contains IC ID: 7162A-58Q3
The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (i) this device may not cause
harmful interference and (ii) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Figure 1— FCC Labeling Requirement
Notices

IMPORTANT: The Q58 is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM integrator is
responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install
the Q58.
Q58 OEM Manual

3. Q58 Regulatory information
Radio Frequency Notifications
IMPORTANT: The Q58 has been certified by the FCC for use with other products
without any further certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Modifications not
expressly approved by Exegin could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT: OEMs must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators
(FCC section 15.107 & 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
IMPORTANT: The Q58 has been certified for remote and base radio applications. If the
Q58 is used in a portable device, where the antenna can be less than 20 cm from the
human body when the device is operational, the system integrator is responsible for
passing additional SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing based on FCC rules 2.1091
and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields,
OET Bulletin and Supplement C. Testing results must be submitted to the FCC for
approval prior to selling the integrated unit.
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: Re-orient or relocate
the receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,
Connect equipment and receiver to outlets on different circuits, or consult the dealer or
an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Antennas
The antennas in Table 1 have been tested and approved for use:

The following must be included as a warning statement in OEM product manuals to alert
users to FCC RF exposure compliance.
WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices,
a separation distance of 20 cm or more must be maintained between the antenna of this
device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer
than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be
co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Industry Canada
Labeling
Requirements
WARNING: The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that Industry
Canada labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside
of the final product enclosure that displays the contents shown in Figure ??. System
integrators must also ensure its product complies with Industry Canada’s ICES-003 &
FCC Part 15, Sub. B - Unintentional Radiators.
Approved
Antenna
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below in Table 1, and
having a maximum gain of 4 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain
greater than 4 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms.
ETSI
If the Q58 is incorporated into a product, the OEM must ensure compliance of the final
product to the European harmonized EMC and low-voltage/safety standards. A
Declaration of Conformity must be issued for each of these standards and kept on file as
described in Annex II of the R&TTE Directive.
Furthermore, the manufacturer must maintain a copy of the Q58 user manual
documentation and ensure the final product does not exceed the specified power ratings,
antenna specifications, and/or installation requirements as specified in the user manual.
If any of these specifications are exceeded in the final product, a submission must be
made to a notified body for compliance testing to all required standards.
Labeling Requirements
The ‘CE’ marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product.
The CE mark shall consist of the initials “CE” as follows:
Restrictions
•
If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions given in the above
graduated drawing must be respected.
•
The CE marking must have a height of at least 5 mm except where this is not
possible on account of the nature of the device
•
The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly.
Power Output: In Europe the Q58 must operate at or below a transmit power output of
10 dBm. To meet this requirement, customers can either adjust the transmit power of the
standard Q58 (P/N 98-058-012) or order the European version of the Q58 (P/N
98-058-014). European regulations also require an EIRP power maximum of ??.? dBm
(?? mW) for the Q58.
France: Outdoor use is limited to 10mW EIRP within the 2454-2483.5MHz band.
