Regulatory Module Integration Instructions
This module has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. OEM integrators for host
products may use the module in their final products without additional FCC / IC (Industry Canada)
certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, additional FCC / IC approvals must
be obtained.
The host product with the module installed must be evaluated for simultaneous
transmission requirements.
The users manual for the host product must clearly indicate the operating requirements
and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC / IC RF
exposure guidelines.
To comply with FCC / IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-
only exposure condition must not exceed 2dBi.
A label must be affixed to the outside of the host product with the following statements:
This device contains FCCID: ZKJ-SBCA001
This equipment contains equipment certified under ICID: 10229A-SBCA001
The final host / module combination may also need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B
criteria for unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15
digital device.
If the final host / module combination is intended for use as a portable device (see classifications
below) the host manufacturer is responsible for separate approvals for the SAR requirements
from FCC Part 2.1093 and RSS-102.
Device Classifications
Since host devices vary widely with design features and configurations module integrators shall
follow the guidelines below regarding device classification and simultaneous transmission, and
seek guidance from their preferred regulatory test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will
impact the device compliance. Proactive management of the regulatory process will minimize
unexpected schedule delays and costs due to unplanned testing activities.
The module integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their host device
and the user’s body. The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the
correct determination. Note that these classifications are guidelines only; strict adherence to a
device classification may not satisfy the regulatory requirement as near-body device design
details may vary widely. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the
appropriate device category for your host product and if a KDB or PBA must be submitted to the
FCC.
Note, the module you are using has been granted modular approval for mobile applications.
Portable applications may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also likely that the
host / module combination will need to undergo testing for FCC Part 15 regardless of the device
classification. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the exact tests which
are required on the host / module combination.
FCC Definitions
Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used
so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is / are within 20 centimeters of the body of the
user.
Mobile: (§2.1091) (b) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used
in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of
at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and
the body of the user or nearby persons. Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular
or desktop transmitters), the potential conditions of use of a device may not allow easy
classification of that device as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases, applicants are
responsible for determining minimum distances for compliance for the intended use and
installation of the device based on evaluation of either specific absorption rate (SAR), field
strength, or power density, whichever is most appropriate.
Simultaneous Transmission Evaluation
This module has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous transmission as it is
impossible to determine the exact multi-transmission scenario that a host manufacturer may
choose. Any simultaneous transmission condition established through module integration into a
host product must be evaluated per the requirements in KDB447498D01(8) and
KDB616217D01,D03 (for laptop, notebook, netbook, and tablet applications).
These requirements include, but are not limited to:
Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions can be
incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing or certification when:
The closest separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is >20 cm,
Or
Antenna separation distance and MPE compliance requirements for ALL simultaneous
transmitting antennas have been specified in the application filing of at least one of the
certified transmitters within the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for
portable use are incorporated in a mobile host device, the antenna(s) must be >5 cm
from all other simultaneous transmitting antennas.
All antennas in the final product must be at least 20 cm from users and nearby persons.
OEM Instruction Manual Content
Consistent with §2.909(a), the following text must be included within the user’s manual or
operator instruction guide for the final commercial product (OEM-specific content is displayed in
italics.)
Operating Requirements and Conditions:
The design of the GEA Single Board Computer (SBCA001) complies with U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines respecting safety levels of radio frequency (RF)
exposure for (OEM manufacturer to insert device classification: Mobile or Portable) devices.
FCC/IC ID:
This product contains FCCID: ZKJ-SBCA001
This product contains ICID: 10229A-SBCA001
Note: In the case where the Host / Module combination has been re-certified the FCCID shall
appear in the product manual as follows:
FCCID: ZKJ-SBCA001
ICID: 10229A-SBCA001
Mobile Device RF Exposure Statement (If Applicable):
RF Exposure - This device is only authorized for use in a mobile application. At least 20 cm of
separation distance between the GEA Single Board Computer (SBCA001) device and the
user's body must be maintained at all times.
Caution Statement for Modifications:
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Haier US Appliance
Solutions, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Part 15 Statement (Only Include if FCC Part 15 is Required on the End Product):
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a (OEM to insert
device type: Class A or Class B) digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. (OEM must
follow Part 15 guidelines (§15.105 and §15.19) to determine additional statements required in this
section for their device class)
