We make a product that has a wireless receiver in it, 2.4 GHz band. I
know we'll need to test for and get FCC Part 15C Certification on this
product (and apply FCC ID, etc.).
The supplier of our wireless receiver component also sells a "matching"
transmitter. This transmitter is complete and self-contained and can be
plugged into a USB port on a laptop for example. Data from the laptop is
sent to our product via the wireless link.
This transmitter has its own FCC ID obtained by the manufacturer.
Remember it plugs into some other product (like the laptop) and is not
hidden. This is much like the transmitter for a wireless mouse.
Question is, do we need to get another FCC ID for this transmitter if:
1. We sell it with our product but do not alter the transmitter
labeling in any way?
2. We sell it with our product and have the manufacturer print our
brand name on the transmitter (but leave their FCC ID showing)?
3. We sell the transmitter separately from our product in generic
packaging not altering the labeling on the transmitter?
4. We sell the transmitter separately but have the manufacturer
print our brand name on the transmitter (but leave their FCC ID showing)?
This apparently does not meet the criteria for a modular approval and
the transmitter FCC ID Grant does not have modular in it anywhere.
Can anyone make sense of this and explain please?
Your wisdom is much appreciated.
