1 Description
The Wi.232FHSS-250-FCC-R is a FCC/IC pre-authorized Wi.232FHSS-250-FCC-R module,
containing the requisite circuitry for FCC/IC modular approval. When used in accordance with the
restrictions listed in this document, the OEM product does not need to undergo FCC or Industry Canada
Part 15 / RSS transmitter testing.
For information on the operation of the module, please consult the Wi.232FHSS-250-R™ User’s Manual.
This manual contains information on registers and settings, as well as application information. For
assistance with the Rapid Development Kit (RK-Wi.232FHSS-250-FCC-R), evaluation software, or USB
driver installation, please see the RK-Wi.232FHSS-250-FCC-R user’s manual. Both of these manuals are
available for download from our website (http://www.radiotronix.com). Alternately, they can be obtained
by contacting our inside sales force (sales@radiotronix.com).
2 Usage Guidelines for FCC / IC Compliance
Wi.232FHSS-250-FCC-R modules have been awarded FCC and IC modular approval. That means that
this module, when integrated into your end product, requires no FCC part 15 or IC RSS-210 testing as
long as the following guidelines are met. Failure to meet any of the following guidelines will prevent the
inheritance of the FCC and IC modular certifications.
2.1 Antenna Selection
In order to maintain compliance with FCC and IC regulations, an antenna with no more than 2.4dBi gain
must be used. This module has been tested with the following antennas:
Radiotronix Part Number Antenna Type Antenna Gain
ANT-000-01A RP ½ Wave Dipole, Swivel Mount 2.4 dBi
ANT-915-06A RP ½ Wave Dipole 2.15 dBi
An approved antenna must be directly attached to the module’s reverse-polarity SMA connector, or
through an approved shielded coaxial extension cable in the final application to inherit the FCC and IC
modular certifications.
2.2 Module Modification
The module must not be physically altered in any way. If any connections are made to the module that
bypass the module pins, socket, antenna connector, or any other module component, the FCC and IC
modular certifications cannot be inherited.
2.3 End Product Labeling Requirements
Pursuant to FCC public notice DA 00-1407, the end product must be labeled on its exterior with the
following verbiage:
“Contains FCC ID: Q7V-3F090009X”
2.4 Documentation Requirements
Both 20cm exposure and FCC compliance statements must be included in the end product’s user’s
manual. Please see section 5.2 for more details.

2.5 Additional FCC Testing Requirements
While the module’s FCC certification can be inherited (presuming the guidelines are met), additional
testing will be required to achieve full FCC compliance for your end-product. The integrator is required to
perform unintentional radiator testing on the final product per FCC sections 15.107 and 15.109.
Additional, product-specific testing might be required. Please contact the FCC regarding regulatory
requirements for your application.
2.6 Notices of Limitation
2.6.1 Product Testing
The integrator must still show that their product complies with FCC and IC regulations applicable to their
product. The integrator is not required to perform transmitter testing on the Wi.232FHSS-250-FCC-R
module, provided the guidelines in this document are met.

5 FCC Statements of Compliance
5.1 Statement and Conditions of Modular Compliance
FCC / IC NOTICE (FCC ID: Q7V-3F090009X / IC: 5589A-
3F090009)
This device complies with the rules set forth in Part 15 by the Federal
Communications Commission and RSS-210/RSS-Gen by Industry Canada.
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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Radiotronix, Inc. could

negating the need for FCC part 15 and IC RSS-210 intentional radiator testing on
this module, provided that the following guidelines are met:
1. An approved antenna must be directly coupled to the module’s RP-SMA
connector or through an approved coaxial extension cable.
2. The module must not be modified in any way. Coupling of external circuitry
must not bypass the provided connectors.
3. End product must be externally labeled with “Contains FCC ID: Q7V-
3F090009X / IC: 5589A-3F090009”
4. The end product’s user’s manual must contain an FCC statement equivalent
to that listed in section 9.2 of this manual.
5. The antenna used for this transceiver must not be co-located or operating in
