Certified Antennas
The SDC-CF10G has been tested to the regulatory standards defined in the “Certifications” section of the
Specifications table above. It incorporates an integrated dual band antenna that supports transmit and
receive diversity:
Type: Dipole
Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 0 dBi
Documentation Requirements
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the SDC-CF10G into a host device and
leveraging Summit’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the documentation requirements set
forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European
Union) outline the information that must be included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host
devices into which the SDC-CF10G is integrated.
FCC
User’s Guide Requirements
As outlined in the Operational Description, the SDC-CF10G complies with
Modular Approval. To leverage Summit’s grant, the two conditions below must be met for the host device
into which the SDC-CF10G is integrated:
1.
The antenna is installed with 20 cm maintained between the antenna and users.
2.
The transmitter module is not co-located with any other transmitter or antenna that is capable of
simultaneous operation.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further
transmitter
testing is typically not required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing its end-product for any additional compliance requirements
required with this module installed, such as (but not limited to) digital device emissions and PC peripheral
requirements.

MPORTANT
!
In the event that the two conditions above
cannot be met
(for example certain device
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is
no longer considered valid and the FCC ID
cannot
be used on the final product. In
these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end
product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
When using Summit’s FCC grant for the SDC-CF10G, the integrator must include specific information in the
user’s guide for the device into which the SDC-CF10G is integrated. The integrator must not provide
information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the
device into which the SDC-CF10G is integrated. The following FCC statements must be added in their
entirety and without modification into a prominent place in the user’s guide for the device into which the
SDC-CF10G is integrated:
“IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for
this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
