7 REGULATORY APPROVAL
The STX3 module has received regulatory approvals for modular devices in the United States and Canada. Modular device approval
allows the end user to place the STX3 module inside a finished product and not require regulatory testing for an intentional radiator
(RF transmitter), provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which
indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance. The integrator is still responsible for testing the end
product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (digital device emission, PC peripheral
requirements, etc.) in the specific country that the end device will be marketed. For more information on regulatory compliance,
refer to the specific country radio regulations in the following sections.
7.1 Radio Astronomy Site Avoidance
The end product must comply with CFR 25.213 (FCC - Protection of Radio Astronomy Service).
7.2 Regulatory Notices
The STX3 has received Federal Communications Commission authorization under FCC Rules Part 25 as a modular transmitter. Final
installation must be in compliance with CFR 25.213 (see 7.1 above). The antenna installation and operating configurations of this
transmitter must satisfy MPE categorical Exclusion Requirements of 2.1091. 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 collocated or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
The STX3 module will satisfy FCC/IC modular transmitter requirements only when used with the antenna type specified in Appendix
A. No power amplifiers may be used under the terms of this modular approval. No trace antennas or any other type of antenna are
approved for use under the terms of this modular approval. It is permissible to use different antenna manufacturers provided the
same antenna type that has similar inband and out-of-band radiation patterns and antenna gain (equal to or less than the antenna
gain listed above) is used. The module provides a surface mount pad for the RF output which must be internally attached passively
via the PCB to the approved antenna. No antenna connector, cable, or any other type of antenna may be used. In order for any
device to obtain certification from Globalstar for use on the Globalstar satellite network under this modular approval, all conditions
listed above must be met. Use of any antenna other than those listed in Appendix A will require proof of compliance (peak gain).
The STX3 module has been labeled with its own FCC and Industry Canada (IC) ID numbers, and if the FCC/IC ID numbers are not
visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into which the module is
installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module:
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: L2V-STX3 IC: 3989A-STX3
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
