1.2 ATWINC3400-MR210UA Usage Instructions under Modular Approval
Table 1-2: Features and supported modes of operation
Frequency Range
WiFi: 2.400 GHz ~ 2.4835 GHz (2.4 GHz ISM Band)
BLE: 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz
Number of Channels WiFi: 11 for North America
BLE: 40
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and
should be programmed at the Host product factory to match the intended destination. Regulatory bodies
prohibit exposing the settings to the end user. This requirement needs to be taken care of via Host
implementation.
The Host product manufacturer must ensure that the RF behavior adheres to the certification (e.g. FCC,
ISED) requirements when the module is installed in the final Host product.

2.1 United States
The ATWINC3400-MR210UAmodules has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47
Telecommunications, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional Radiators” single-modular approval in accordance
with Part 15.212 Modular Transmitter approval. Singlemodulartransmitter approval is defined as a
complete RF transmission sub-assembly, designed to be incorporated into another device, that must
demonstrate compliance with FCC rules and policies independent of any host. A transmitter with a
modular grant can be installed in different end-use products (referred to as a host, host product, or host
device) by the grantee or other equipment manufacturer, then the host product may not require additional
testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by that specific module or limited
module device.
The user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation
and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.
A host product itself is required to comply with all other applicable FCC equipment authorization
regulations, requirements, and equipment functions that are not associated with the transmitter module
portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated: to regulations for other transmitter components
within a host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B), such as digital
devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for the
non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e., SDoC or Certification) as appropriate (e.g.,
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions).
2.1.1 Labeling and User Information Requirements
The ATWINC3400-MR210UA module has been labeled with its own FCC ID number. If the FCC ID is not
visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into
which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can
use wording as follows:
For the ATWINC3400-MR210UA:
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2ADHKWINC3400U
or
Contains FCC ID: 2ADHKWINC3400U
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.
A user's manual for the finished product should include the following statement:
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 interference 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 correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Additional information on labeling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in
KDB Publication 784748, which is available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET)
Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm
2.1.2 RF Exposure
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. KDB 447498 General RF
Exposure Guidance provides guidance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities,
operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
From the FCC Grant: Output power listed is conducted. This transmitter is restricted for use with the
specific antenna(s) tested in this application for Certification.
In the end product, the antenna(s) used with this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 6.0 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter. User and installers must be provided with antenna installation
instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying the RF exposure compliance.
2.1.3 Approved Antenna Types
To maintain modular approval in the United States, only the antenna types that have been tested shall be
used. It is permissible to use a different antenna, provided the same antenna type and antenna gain
(equal to or less than) is used. An antenna type comprises antennas having similar in-band and out-of
band radiation patterns.
Antennas approved for ATWINC3400-MR210UA module with the antenna types are listed in Table 1-1.
