1.0 Eligibility Requirements for Regulatory Module

Approval

As part of Intel’s solution for Bluetooth wireless technology in mobile PCs, Intel will provide regulatory

approvals for certain countries in the form of a Module Approval (MA) grant, which can be utilized by PC

manufacturers. This section lists the requirements that must be met in order for Intel’s customers to utilize

the MA grant. The Intel MA applies only to computer laptop devices. The MA grant is not authorized for

any other electronic devices.

The Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology is a radio device that transmits and receives

radio signals in accordance with the spectrum regulations for the 2.4-GHz unlicensed frequency range.

Regulatory approval is required for each country throughout the world where the end-user wishes to

operate the Ambler module and communicate to other Bluetooth devices.

There are two methods by which Intel customers may obtain regulatory approvals for their platform

designs: standard type approval for radio transmitters or the MA. The MA is only valid in countries that

have accepted the MA process. For countries that have not accepted the MA process, PC manufacturers

must submit the laptop for a conventional radio transmitter “type approval” for each country of interest.

PC manufacturers may disregard the requirements of this section if they accept the full responsibility for

regulatory-type approval of the electronic device with an integrated Ambler module.

1.1 User Guide Information

PC manufacturers are required to place specific text in the user’s guide for a notebook PC alongside other

regulatory information. The information may be segmented by geographic world region if desired, but the

exact text shown below must be maintained. The user’s guide must contain the following items:

United States of America Requirements

The following text must be copied exactly into the products user’s guide:

“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, and (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.”

General Requirements

The following text must be copied exactly into the product’s user’s guide:

“This product contains a radio transmitter with Bluetooth wireless technology 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 Intel are:

United States of America

Belgium

Germany

Italy

Netherlands

Spain

Sweden

Switzerland

United Kingdom

Sale or use in any other country is not authorized by Intel and is the sole responsibility of the notebook PC

manufacturer.”

1.2 Exterior Laptop Labeling

An FCC label, along with specific text, must be placed on the notebook PC that contains an Intel Ambler

module with Bluetooth wireless technology. The following exact text must be placed beneath the FCC

label on the exterior of the laptop.

“Contains one of the Transmitter Modules”

FCC ID: To be determined

1.3 Design Requirements

To be eligible to utilize the Intel MA grant, the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology

must be designed into the notebook PC following certain design requirements. These requirements are

listed below.

General

The Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology may not be altered or modified in any way

upon receipt from Intel. 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 Ambler module and the Intel enabled

antennas except the RF transmis sion line that interconnects them.

Antennas

Only antennas selected by Intel may be used with the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless

technology. These antennas are designed to be compatible with the RF transmission line impedance and

frequency range of the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology. These antennas 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 Intel have been specifically tested with the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth

wireless technology, and they are certified through the regulatory agencies indicated in section 1.1.2 for

authorized use.

Use of antennas in a platform other than the antennas selected by Intel voids the MA grant for that

platform.

Transmission Line Interconnection

There are specific requirements that must be met when designing a transmission line interconnection

between the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology and the antennas.

The Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology 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 should be mounted on a PCB directly or mounted in a specially designed socket that is

mounted to a PCB.

1.3.1.1 Impedance

The transmission line must be designed to be a 50-Ohm impedance.

1.3.1.2 Physical Implementation

[This specific physical implementation of the transmission line interconnection is Intel

confidential]

1.4 OEM Regulatory Compliance Instructions

The Intel MA may be used by the OEM manufacturers if the manufactures strictly adhere to all items in

Sections 1.1 through 1.3. Below are the instructions that must be followed to comply with the

administrative requirements for each governmental agency.

United States of America

For laptop product marketability and sale with in the United States, the requirements are (TBD).

European Union Countries

For laptop product marketability and sale with in the following European countries, the requirements are

(TBD).
