1. Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing a Lighting Connectivity Module (LCM) (the “Module”). Failure to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC certification and authorization of the Module for use in the U.S. and in other countries. The LIFI LABS INC. modular certifications described in this document apply only to radio conformance for the Module. The OEM integrator is responsible for all system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that apply to the host system in the U.S. and other countries where the system will be marketed or sold. 2. Applicable Module Part Number: LCM1V4T FCC ID: 2AA53-LIFX03 IC ID: 11475A-LIFX03 3. Available Global Modular Approvals from LIFI LABS INC. Module certification is limited to those countries for which LIFI LABS INC. has obtained radio modular approvals. Integrators can access the current list of certified countries at the following link: http://lifx.com/lcm/certification OEM integrators must receive their own radio certification for any country in which the system will be sold if a modular certification for that country is not available from LIFI LABS INC. LIFX03N12 Ver. 1.0 4 Confidential and Proprietary – LIFI LABS INC.
4. Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator The global modular certifications apply to radio conformance for the Module only. The OEM integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries to the host system containing the Module. This includes, but is not limited to, Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Part 15 Class B Digital Emissions, China CCC, Taiwan BSMI, Korea KC, ETSI EN 301 489-17 and others. These system-level EMC tests are to be done with the Module installed and included in the scope of the submission. Some of the countries for which modular certifications are provided require additional submissions, authorizations or import permission by the system-vendor or importer. The integrator is responsible for these additional actions. For example, the OEM integrator must take additional action for radio certification in these countries: Country Additional Action Malaysia Each importer/distributor needs to file for import permission Singapore Recommend use of importer’s own local radio dealer number Israel Additional approval certificate required for importer Indonesia Certificate B is required for each importer China Modular approval not accepted. Requires system approval Brazil Tablets require system level SAR evaluation and submission to Anatel. Philippines Modular approval not accepted. Requires system approval Vietnam Modular approval not accepted. Requires system approval Modular radio certification is not possible in some countries. For such countries, OEM integrators must ensure radio certification for the end system is obtained, before placing the product on the market. A current list of applicable countries can be provided by LIFI LABS INC. at the following link: http://lifx.com/lcm/certification Please contact LIFI LABS INC. at hello@lifx.co if you have questions about the additional regulatory conformance testing and/or related submissions. LIFX03N12 Ver. 1.0 5 Confidential and Proprietary – LIFI LABS INC.
5. Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings Programmed into EEPROM The following link lists the allowable transmit power settings that are to be programmed into the Module during original manufacturing: http://lifx.com/lcm/certification NOTE: Programming in higher values than provided for in this link will invalidate all radio certifications for this Module. 6. Allowable Antennas to Use with the Radio Module The declared max antenna gain for the Module is: 1 dBi There is no restriction for antenna types for this product, when host platform is designed with greater than 20 cm separation distance between antenna and user.  When antenna to user separation distance is from 1.3cm-20cm, only PIFA antenna may be used in host platform design. Note: Using transmit power settings in host products that have antennas with declared gain exceeding 1 dBi. stated above will invalidate all radio certificates for this module. Contact LIFI LABS INC. at hello@lifx.co for additional guidance if you decide to use higher gain antennas in the end system. In addition, regulatory agencies in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan require submission of antenna specification sheets for all antenna models used with the LCM module. This notification process must be followed by the integrator before the original product is launched and whenever new host systems (with new antenna models) are launched. Please submit antenna specifications to: hello@lifx.co LIFX03N12 Ver. 1.0 6 Confidential and Proprietary – LIFI LABS INC.
7. Antenna Placement inside the Host System and RF Safety The FCC and other national regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the RF exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system, the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user, as well as if there is/are collocated RF transmitter(s) in the same host system. OEM integrators must ensure each host system complies with the applicable RF exposure requirements. 8. Mandatory Host Platform RF Exposure Review The FCC imposes conditions and limitations when additional radio(s) are co-located in the same host system as the Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. The detailed rules from the FCC are described in various Knowledge Database publications that may be found using the instructions below. Co-locating other radios such as an integrated or plug in Wireless WAN/cellular radio with the Module requires additional evaluation and possibly submission for authorization from the FCC. Because the rules are highly dependent on the characteristics of the particular radios that are co-located and simultaneously transmitting, the OEM integrator should seek guidance from a knowledgeable test lab or consultant to determine if additional testing and FCC certification is required. In this case, failure to evaluate and follow the required FCC procedures will invalidate the FCC certification of the Module and end system. To download the FCC rules for collocated radios: 1. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm 2. Enter 996369 in the ‘publication number’ search box 3. Download latest applicable version of 996369 document. For expert advice regarding collocation rules, we recommend you contact an FCC-approved Telecommunication Certification Body (“TCB”):: 1. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm 2. Choose your country and or state from the pull-down list. 3. Scroll through the search results and choose a TCB contact from which to seek advice. To ensure total compliance of RF exposure requirements, LIFI LABS INC. requires that all its OEM customers submit their host platforms integrated with LCM for Host Platform RF Exposure Assessment under a LIFI LABS INC. established program. All host platform must be submitted to a LIFI LABS INC. designated third party lab for professional assessment to determine if the host system is in compliance of RF exposure requirements or if it will need to undergo further SAR test and class II permissive change approvals before it can be placed onto the US and Canada market. For training on the Host Platform RF Exposure Assessment Program, please contact: hello@lifx.co LIFX03N12 Ver. 1.0 7 Confidential and Proprietary – LIFI LABS INC.
For host platform assessment, make host platform submission to: hello@lifx.co 9. Module May Not Be Installed by End Users FCC rules require this Module to be installed in host systems at the factory by the OEM integrator. Thus, end users of the system may not install the Module. Therefore, the host product user instructions must not advise the end user on how to access or remove the Module. Additional FCC authorization/filing is needed to allow end user installation of radio modules. 10. Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host NOTE: Explanatory text in red font must not be included in the final label. 10.1 FCC The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example wording is: Contains: FCC ID: XXXXXXXXXX IC: XXXXXXXXXXX (Replace X’s with actual IDs found in Section 2). The FCC requires a logo signifying emissions compliance on the outside of the host system. Additional options are available for placement of the FCC label on the host. Please refer to the FCC Knowledge Database KDB 784748 found at https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm. NOTE: The Integrator is responsible to perform FCC Part 15 Class B digital emissions testing on the end system with the radio Module installed. The FCC logo below should not be affixed unless the OEM integrator has obtained the necessary Part 15 approval, e.g., self-declaration of conformity. If the host system is approved to FCC Class B digital emissions limits under a grant of certification issued by a TCB, the FCC ID number shown on the grant should be used on the label instead of the FCC logo below. LIFX03N12 Ver. 1.0 8 Confidential and Proprietary – LIFI LABS INC. FCC ID:2AA53-LIFX03 The OEM manual must provide clear instructions explaining to the OEM the labelling requirements, options and OEM user manual instructions that are required For a host using a this FCC certified modular with a standard fixed label, if (1) the module's FCC ID is not visible when installed in the host, or (2) if the host is marketed so that end users do not have straightforward commonly used methods for access to remove the module so that the FCC ID of the module is visible; then an additional permanent label referring to the enclosed module: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AA53-LIFX03 or “Contains FCC ID: 2AA53-LIFX03 ” must be used. The host OEM user manual must also contain clear instructions on how end users can find and/or access the module and the FCC ID. Host product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorizations regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module portion. compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15B). To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. If a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated with the host, we suggest the host device to recertify part 15B to ensure complete compliance with FCC requirement: Part 2 Subpart J Equipment Authorization Procedures , KDB784748 D01 v07, and KDB 997198 about importation of radio frequency devices into the United States.
