Each country throughout the world has regulations that govern where and how end-user operates the 3Com wireless USB device. As part of 3Com’s solution for USB wireless technology, 3Com will provide regulatory approvals for certain countries in the form of a modular approval grant, which can be utilized by manufacturers. A modular grant allows the OEM to insert an approved device, with its antenna interconnection and antenna, into a laptop without the need for additional device certification. Where many models of host equipment may utilize the same 3Com wireless USB device, this form of certification can represent a significant savings in terms of cost and time. The countries that can accept this form of approval include the US, Canada, and certain European counties. The conditions for approval for each of these countries are described below. Obtaining a modular approval is not a requirement. If a 3com customer uses a unique antenna or antenna interconnect design, that customer may file for standard type approval in the country of interest. This method will require the testing of the entire end product, and hence may be more time consuming expensive. The modular approval is only valid in countries that have accepted the process. For countries that have not accepted the modular approval process, manufacturers must submit their device for a conventional radio transmitter type approval in each country of interest. Manufacturers may disregard the requirements of this section if they accept the full responsibility for regulatory type approval of their device with an integral Com wireless USB device. DRAFT User Guide Information Manufacturers are required to place specific information in the regulatory section of the user’s guide for the host device. The information may be segmented by geographic world region if desired, but the text shown below or its equivalent must be maintained. The user’s guide must contain the following information: Page 14 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual General Requirements The following text must be copied exactly into the product’s user’s manual: “This product contains a radio transmitter which has been tested and found to be compliant with the applicable regulations governing a radio transmitter in the 2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHz frequency range. The countries where this product is authorized for sale and use by the supplier are as follows: US Germany UK France Canada Italy Netherlands Sweden Spain Belgium Denmark Finland” DRAFT NOTE: This list will be updated in future revisions based on the grants that 3Com obtains. NOTE: Japan has no form of modular approval available at this time. Regulatory certification for Japan can only be obtained through standard type approval procedures and you are responsible for obtaining that approval. Topics Not Covered Topics not covered in this manual include: •Details of requirements for standard type approval filing (Neither US nor other countries) •Japan regulatory approvals •Unintentional emissions requirements for FCC or other countries United States Regulatory Approval User Manual Statements The following information must appear in the user manual: Page 15 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual “This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.” “Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.” FCC Modular Approval The requirements for FCC modular approval were released in June 2000 in the FCC’s Public Notice FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval. General Installation Criteria To fully comply with modular approval requirements the following conditions must be met: 1. Non- modification of the module or additions to circuitry 2. Adherence to the design criteria, including antennas and transmission line interconnect 3. Testing of the final configuration to insure emissions compliance DRAFT The 3com wireless USB device may not be altered or modified in any way upon receipt. Additionally, no external component can be added which changes the radio frequency (RF) characteristics of the transmitted signals. This includes all components both passive and active such as RF filters, RF amplifiers, RF switches, etc. RF components may not be placed between the output pin of the 3Com wireless USB device and the antennas, except the RF transmission line that interconnects them. Antennas Only antennas bearing specific part numbers and qualified with 3Coms modular approval may be used with 3Com’s wireless USB device. These antennas are designed to be compatible with the RF transmission line impedance and frequency range of 3Com’s wireless USB device and may not be modified in any way from the design baseline as indicated by the antenna data sheets from the manufacturer. The antennas selected by 3Com have been specifically tested with the 3Com wireless USB device, and they are certified through the regulatory agencies in the US, Canada, and European Union for authorized use. The selection and use of antennas other than the antennas selected by 3Com voids 3Com’s modular approval grant. Antenna Interconnect There are specific requirements that must be met when designing a transmission line Page 16 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual interconnection between 3Com’s wireless USB device and the antenna. This wireless USB device has been specifically designed as a miniature component to be integrated into portable electronic devices. As such the RF connection is not a standard connector, but a ball grid array solder connection. The module must be mounted on the host PCB directly or placed in a specially designed socket that is mounted to a host PCB. Transmission Line Impedance The transmission line must be designed to be a 50 Ohm impedance. Physical Implementation The physical implementation of the RF transmission line must conform to the following guidelines. Any combination of microstrip, stripline, or coaxial cable is acceptable. However, the following guidelines must be adhered to: 1. Microstrip (conductor above ground plane): Lengths should be minimized to keep losses at a minimum. An impedance of 50 +/- 2 ohms must be maintained. For design formulae, the following web sites can be accessed for interactive design programs: Table http://www.mit.edu/~mcmahill/software/mstrip/mscalc.htm Table A http://www.polar.co.uk/ DRAFT 2. Stripline (conductor between ground planes on printed circuit board): Since stripline is non-radiating, any length of stripline can be used. However, lengths should be minimized to keep losses at a minimum. Either symmetric or asymmetric stripline may be used. For design formulae visit: Table B http://www.polar.co.uk/ 3. Coaxial Cable: Since coaxial cable is non-radiating, any length may be used. The impedance must be 50 +/- 2 ohms. In general, the lengths of all transmission lines should be kept at a minimum where possible. Microstrip is the most lossy, followed by stripline and then coax. These factors should be taken into account in design of the interconnect. Higher loss will reduce the range of the wireless USB device in the final implementation. SAR Information This device generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. In order to comply with FCC radio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment, this device must be installed and operated while maintaining a minimum body to antenna distance of 0.47 cm (0.185 inch), based on an antenna gain of 4 dBi. Contact 3Com for additional information regarding minimum body to antenna distances based on antenna gains other than 4 dBi. Page 17 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Intentional Emissions Compliance Testing Although the module, including the interconnect and antenna, have been modular approved by the FCC the final configuration must meet emissions compliance. The final configuration must be tested in an FCC certified test laboratory to confirm that intentional radiated emissions continue to operate within the limits specified in the Part 15 rules. Applicable sections include: 1. Part 15 Section 15.247, Operation within the bands of 2400-2483 MHz 2. Part 15 Section 15.201 to 15.209, Intentional Emitter Restricted Bands and Radiated Emission Limits For detailed document information, visit http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/. Other information may be found in the following documents: FCC Public Notice DA 000-705, Filing and Measurement Guidelines for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Systems. FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval. DRAFT Both of these documents may be found on the FCC web site. These intentional emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer if equipped with a certified test chamber or by contacting an accredited test facility. The results of these tests are not required to be submitted to the FCC or 3Com, but should be kept on file by the OEM. Exterior Labeling Requirements To satisfy FCC exterior labeling requirements, an FCC label, along with specific text, must be placed on the notebook PC that contains a 3Com wireless USB device. The following text or any similar wording that expresses the same meaning must be placed beneath the FCC label on the exterior of the laptop. “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: SL-1021” Canadian Regulatory Approval Conditions of Grant In general, Industry Canada follows the FCC in terms of emission levels and other regulatory requirements. Although Industry Canada’s position is that the OEM has the first level of responsibility for insuring compliance for the end use configuration, 3Com as grantee is responsible as supplier of the module design. Page 18 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Design Criteria The same design criteria as described above should be followed for Canadian modular approval. Intentional Emissions Compliance testing To ensure intentional emissions compliance, testing of the final configuration must be conducted per Industry Canada RSS-210 (Low Power License-Exempt Radio communication Devices). For detailed document information, visit: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf01375e.html-RadioStandardsSpecifications These intentional emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer if equipped with a test chamber or by contacting an approved test facility. The results of these tests are not required to be submitted to Industry Canada or 3Com, but should be kept on file by the OEM. Installation Instructions DRAFT This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 4.0 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulation of the FCC, Industry Canada, and other national regulatory agencies. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb. User Manual Statements The following information must be placed in the user manual: “This device contains a wireless transceiver that complies with Canadian RSS-210 as demonstrated by IC Grant No.: (TBD).” Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.” (This statement is a repeat of the FCC statement, and need appear in English only once in the manual.) To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing. Page 19 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb. Exterior Labeling Requirements To satisfy Industry Canada exterior labeling requirements, the following text must be placed on the backside of the notebook PC that contains the 3Com wireless USB device: “This product contains a 3Com wireless USB device with Canadian Cert No. (TBD)” European Union Conditions For Acceptability Regulatory requirements for marketing in the EU are covered in the R&TTE Directive of April 8, 2000. This directive simplifies marketing by allowing self-certification for “harmonized” bands by conducting testing at their own manufacturing facility or test house. To meet the requirements of the R&TTE directive a Technical Construction File is no longer required. However, frequency notification to countries within the EU is required. Article 6 of the R&TTE directive states, “the manufacturer or the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the market provides information for the user on the intended use of the apparatus, together with the declaration of conformity to the essential requirements”. Although this implies that the OEM has the responsibility for insuring compliance of the end user configuration, 3Com DRAFT does have a responsibility of supplier of the module and antenna interconnect design, having made its own declaration of conformity and frequency use notifications. Design Criteria The same design criteria as described above should be followed for continued compliance with the CE approval of this module. Intentional Emissions Compliance Testing In the European community regulatory compliance is based on the European standards ETSI 300-328 (Intentional Emissions) and ETSI 300-826 (Electromagnetic Compatibility). To insure compliance, radiated emissions testing of the final configuration must be conducted to insure that emissions meet the requirements of ETSI 300-328 (European Telecommunications Standard for 2.4 GHz ISM band). For detailed documents visit: Page 20 of 21 EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/infor.htm These emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer if equipped with a test chamber or by contacting an approved test facility. The results of these tests are not required to be submitted to the regulatory authorities (within each country) or 3Com, but should be kept on file by the OEM. Exterior Labeling Requirements The host device that has a3Com wireless USB device must be labeled "CE" on its exterior. The exclamation mark designates a non-harmonized frequency band. (See http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/decision/classif.htm for text of this decision. For further details on labeling refer to the R&TTE Directive .See Web Site, above.). The host device packaging and instructions may bear the same CE marking as described above although it is not mandatory. Additionally, the packaging and instructions must indicate any restrictions on the use of the product (i.e. countries where the operating frequency of a transmitting device is not allowed).
