Usage Guidelines for FCC Compliance
The EVM-915-DTS modules have been awarded a FCC and Anatel
modular approvals. That means that this module, when integrated into
your end product, requires no FCC part 15 or Anatel 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.
Antenna Selection
In order to maintain compliance with FCC and Anatel regulations, an
antenna with no more than 3dBi gain must be used. This module has been
tested with the following antennas:
When operating in DTS mode the module may be used with any of the
above antennas and maintain the requirements of the FCC grant. When
operating the module in LP mode, it must be used with the approved ¼
wave antenna. The module may not be used with the ½ wave dipole
antenna in LP mode.
An approved antenna must be directly attached to the module’s reverse-
polarity SMA connector in the final application to inherit the FCC and Anatel
modular certification.
Module Modication
The module must not be physically altered in any way. If any connections
are made to the modules that bypass the module pins, socket or antenna
connector, neither the FCC nor Anatel modular certification can be
inherited.
End Product Labeling Requirements
Pursuant to FCC public notice DA 00-1407, the end product must be
labeled on its exterior with the following:
“Contains FCC ID: Q7V-3F090003X”
Antenna Selection
Linx Part No. Antenna Type Antenna Gain
ANT-916-CW-QW RP ¼ Wave Helical 2dBi
ANT-916-CW-HW RP ½ Wave Dipole 2.5dBi

Additional FCC Testing Requirements
While the module’s FCC certification can be inherited if the guidelines
are met, additional testing will be required to achieve full FCC compliance
for the 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. Ultimately is it
the integrator’s responsibility to show that their product complies with the
regulations applicable to their product.
Customer FCC Warning Requirements
The end-product’s user’s manual must contain the following or equivalent
statements.
FCC NOTICE (Containing FCC ID: Q7V-3F090003X)
The RF module (FCC ID: Q7V-3F090009X) contained within this device complies with the
rules set forth in Part 15 by the Federal Communications Commission. Operation is subject
to the following conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
3. An approved antenna must be directly coupled to the module’s RP-SMA
connector.
4. The module must not be modied in any way. Coupling of external circuitry must not
bypass the provided connectors.
5. The antenna used for this transceiver must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Any changes or modications could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
