NOTICE
Federal Communication Interference Statement (the United States only)
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 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:
- Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
- Connect the equipment to 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
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Per FCC 15.407(c), the device will automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. This is done via the device utilizing the 802.11 MAC protocol in its communication with other modules. The 802.11 MAC provides for transmission only when information is present to transmit. When there is no information to transmit, no packets will be scheduled for transmission and the RF transmit circuitry will remain off. In the case that operational failure is detected, the module will be rebooted and transmission will cease until the processor verifies normal operation.
Canadian Department of Communications Industry Canada Notice (Canada only)
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
FCC Rules, Part 15.19 / Industry Canada
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from the person’s body
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 equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter 25528- PHC11AC1 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required 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.
For products available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated at 2.4GHz. At this frequency band, selection of other channels is not possible.
This device is going to be operated in the 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to an indoor environment only.
Frequency Tolerance：+/-20ppm
WARNING (Part 15.21):
The FCC / The Industry Canada regulations provide that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Manual and Product Labeling information To The End-User
The end-user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as shown in this manual.
And when this module is installed in the host product, you must include a “Contains FCC ID: 2ATC9-PHC11AC1” and an “IC: 25528- PHC11AC1” in the labeling of the host product.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC and Industry Canada Regulations
The PHC-11AC1-A Wi-Fi/BT Module has been certified for integration into Philips’ own products only by Philips subsidiaries under the following conditions:
- The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times.
- The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the Philips integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the Philips subsidiary will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and Industry Canada authorization.
Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Only Cypress Test SW utility shall be used to set the module to transmit continuously.
Additional Testing – Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer
The module is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts listed on the grant, and the host product manufacturer (Philips subsidiary/integrator) is responsible for compliance with any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
