10.6 FCC Definitions

Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the

radiating structure(s) of the device is / are within 20 centimetres of the body of the user.

Mobile: (§2.1091) (b) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than

fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimetres is

normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.

Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular or desktop transmitters), the potential conditions of use

of a device may not allow easy classification of that device as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases,

applicants are responsible for determining minimum distances for compliance for the intended use and

installation of the device based on evaluation of either specific absorption rate (SAR), field strength, or power

density, whichever is most appropriate.

10.7 Simultaneous Transmission Evaluation

This module has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous transmission as it is impossible to determine

the exact multi-transmission scenario that a host manufacturer may choose. Any simultaneous transmission

condition established through module integration into a host product must be evaluated per the requirements in

KDB447498D01(8) and KDB616217D01,D03 (for laptop, notebook, netbook, and tablet applications).

As mentioned above, the DWM1001C has been granted modular approval as a “Portable” device. However, end-

customer Portable applications may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also possible that the

host / module combination will need to undergo further testing for FCC Part 15 compliance regardless of the

device classification. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the exact tests which are

required on the host / module combination.

10.8 Operating Requirements and Conditions

The design of DWM1001 complies with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines respecting

safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure for Portable devices.

10.9 Miscellaneous

Except as otherwise described above, the DWM1001C BLE and UWB transmitters meets all requirements for

SAR or RF Exposure, intended or unintended, under FCC, ISED, and ETSI rules. The BLE radio falls well below

the limit determined for <5mm separation (a “body-worn” device) and, for a UWB radio operating above 6GHz,

there are currently no exposure limits specified.
