with your radio may be used. Other antennas may be used
only if they are of the same type (e.g. yagi, dipole, patch) and
have the same or lower gain.
• Notwithstanding the Modular Approval for the Radio Device
with associated interconnect and antennae, the end product
configuration must meet digital emissions compliance and
must be tested in accordance Industry Canada RSS-210 (Low
Power License-Exempt Radio communication Devices)
requirements confirming radiated emissions are within
specified limits. Applicable sections include:
• Part 15 Section 15.109 Sub-paragraph A, Class B Radiated
Emission Limits
These emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer
or by contacting an approved test facility equipped and
certified accordingly. The results of these emissions tests are
not required to be submitted to Industry Canada or Cypress,
but should be kept on file by the OEM.
• Cypress module can only be installed by the OEM and not by
the user. It should not be installed in a user accessible location.
• Any modifications to the radio will void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. The OEM must not modify any aspect
of the radio's mechanical and electrical configuration.
• The OEM must include compliance information in their user
information.
• Although no additional regulatory work may be required for
the radio, the host device is probably subject to other FCC
authorizations as a digital device. DoC authorization is
required for PCs and peripherals; verification is required for
most other digital devices.
Note:
Industry Canada generally follows the guidelines of the FCC
for emissions level requirements. FCC end-product
compliance certification results may be used to satisfy Industry
Canada requirements. Please consult the Industry Canada,
RSS 210 specifications to confirm interagency compliance. If
comparable FCC testing has not been performed or if the
specifications are not cross compliant, RSS 210 testing will be
required.
Product Labeling Requirements
Industry Canada product labeling requirements stipulate
specific text be placed on the device containing the
CYWM6934 module. The product label must include the
following text and must be affixed to the exterior of the OEM’s
product. (As shown in the ‘Correct Labeling’ section 4.1.3)
4.2.3 European Union Requirements and Regulatory Ap-
proval
The requirements for EU Regulatory Approval were released
in April 2000 in the EU R&TTE Directive.
This directive supports self directed testing and certification for
“harmonized” bands within OEM facilities or by third party. In
the case of WirelessUSB, standards have become harmo-
nized (although frequencies are not). The R&TTE directive no
longer requires a Technical Construction File however;
frequency notification to EU countries is still applicable.
Article 6 of the R&TTE directive states: “The manufacturer or
the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the market
provides information for the user on the intended use of the
apparatus, together with the declaration of conformity to the
essential requirements.”
Ensuring regulatory compliance of the end product is the sole
responsibility of the OEM.
Cypress maintains responsibility for conformance of the
CYWM6934, the interconnect, and the antennae as the
manufacturer.
The R&TTE directive maintains that first level compliance be
reviewed by a “Notified Body” prior to general product
marketing. This is not mandatory, but reduces the risk of the
product being challenged for non-compliance. Although not
specifically stated in the R&TTE Directive, corrections of non-
compliance issues are the responsibility of the end product
manufacturer.
Criteria for Modular Approval
In our OEM instructions it is recommend that the following
rules (required by ETSI) be adhered to.
• No co-location with other transmitters is allowed. By
definition, co-location is when another radio or its antenna is
located within 20 cm of our radio and it can transmit simulta-
neously with your radio. Only the antenna(s) that were certified
with your radio may be used. Other antennas may be used
only if they are of the same type (e.g. yagi, dipole, patch) and
have the same or lower gain.
• The end-product configuration must meet digital emissions
compliance and must be tested in accordance with the
European Union standards ETSI 300 328 (European Telecom-
munications Standard for 2.4 GHz ISM band Emissions) and
ETSI 300 826 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

Note:
The European Union generally follows the guidelines of the
FCC for emissions level requirements. FCC end-product
compliance certification results, if available, may be used to
satisfy EU requirements (Substitution Method). Please consult
the ETSI 300 328 specifications to confirm inter-agency
compliance. If comparable FCC testing has not been
performed or if the specifications are not cross compliant,
ETSI 300 328 testing will be required. Additionally, testing to
