6. Module Control

6.1 Power off and reset limitations

There is no limitations to power off and reset.

6.2 Power supply interrupt

If MAINVCC drops out of range(<3.05V 1usec typ) then the module is completely shut down.

In thie case, please execute power-on sequence.

6.3 Over-temperature Protection

PM8018 provides over-temperature protection. If PM8018 die temperature greater than 150 °C,

the module is completely shut down.

Temperature hysteresis is incorporated such that the die

temperature must cool significantly (<110°C typ) before the module can be powered on again.

When the module bocome under 110°C(typ) and a PWR_N signal is enabled, the module will

power up.

Please execute power-on sequence.

6.4 Over-temperature Protection (restricted RF operation).

The thermistor built into the module (around Power Amplifier) detects the temperature around it.

Based on the detected limited temperature, the module starts or terminates temperature protec-

tion and stop transmit/receive functions to prevent devices to be destructed.

12. FCC/IC Regulatory notices

12.1 Modification statement

The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacture

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

12.2 Interference statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS

standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause unde-

sired operation of the device.

12.3 RF Exposure Information

Requirement to end product.

This Modular Approval is limited to OEM installation for module and fixed applications only.

The antenna installation and operating configurations of this transmitter, including any appli-

cable source-based time-averaging duty factor, antenna gain and cable loss must satisfy MPE

categorical Exclusion Requirements of §2.1091.

1. Antenna

The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation dis-

tance of least 20cm from all persons.

2. Co-location

This module must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna

or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

3. Caution to user for modification

The end user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device and a separate

approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configura-

tions with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations.

According to the MPE RF explore report, maximum antenna gain allowed for use with

this device is

FDD XII : 2.4 dBi

FDD V : 3.8 dBi

FDD II : 4.9 dBi

FDD IV : 4.0 dBi

4. Markings

When the module is installed in a customer’s product, the FCC ID label on the module

will not be visible. To avoid this case, an exterior label must be stuck on the surface of

Version 1.0

- 14 -

the customer’s product to indicate the FCC ID of the enclosed module. This label can

use wording such as the following:

Contains Transmitter module FCC ID: JOYKA36

When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC ID label must be visible

through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door

or cover is easily removed. Otherwise, a second label must be placed on the outside of

the final device.

12.4 IC Regulations

IC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled en-

vironment.

1. Antenna

This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between

the radiator & your body.

2. Co-location

This device and its antennas must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

3. Compliance statement to IC

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Under Industry Canada

regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and

maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce

potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so

chosen that the equipment isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p) is not more than neces-

sary for successful communication.

4. Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Section 3.2.1, RSS-Gen, Issue 3, De-

cember 2010)

The host device shall not be properly labeled to identify the module within the host de-

vice. The Industry Canada certification must be labeled to display the Industry Canada

certification number of the module, preceded by the words – Contains transmitter mod-

ule, or the word – Contains, or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as fol-

lows:

Contains transmitter module IC: 574B-KA36

5. Caution to user for modification

This radio transmitter (IC: 574B-KA36) has been approved by Industry Canada to oper-

ate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and re-

quired antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included

in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are

strictly prohibited for use with this device.

12.5 FCC Class B digital device notice

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 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 interference by

one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on circuit different from that to witch the receiver

is connect.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for additional suggestions.
