December 02, 2015 AirPrime HL7618 Product Technical Specification 4117929 Rev 2.0 December 02, 2015 2 Product Technical Specification Important Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data. Safety and Hazards Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where cellular modems are not advised without proper device certifications. These areas include environments where cellular radio can interfere such as explosive atmospheres, medical equipment, or any other equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems. Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time. The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Limitations of Liability This manual is provided “as is”.

For compliance with the requirements set forth in 47 CFR § 2.1091 & 47 CFR § 1.1310. The results of testing in this report apply only to the product/system, which was tested. Other similar equipment will not necessarily produce the same results due to production tolerance and measurement uncertainties Report Number: 1511FS11Page 3 of 15 ©2015 A Test Lab Techno Corp. 2. Human Exposure Assessment Due to the design and installation of this product, it is not possible to conduct SAR evaluation. This is because client either manufactures or supplies the antenna(s) that will be used in the installation of this product. Therefore, this product will be evaluated as a mobile device per 47 CFR §1.1310 titled “Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits”, generally referred to as MPE limits. In 47 CFR § 2.1091, paragraph (b) defines a mobile device 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 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. ” This product is intended to be installed into a vehicle such that the unit is physically secured at one location. In the installation guide supplied with the product, Client has made the following statement: “IMPORTANT: To meet the FCC’s RF Exposure Guidelines, the antenna should be installed so there is at least 20 cm of separation between the body of the user and nearby persons and the antenna”. Based on the installation of the transceiver and the antenna, the transmitters radiating structure is more than 20 cm from the user. Thus, this product is a “mobile device” as defined in section § 2.1091 paragraph (b). Exposure evaluation 2 4R PG S π = limit av maxS P R 2 4 G π = Where S: power density P: power input to the antenna G: power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator. R: distance to the center of radiation of the antenna. Report Number: 1511FS11Page 4 of 15 ©2015 A Test Lab Techno Corp. 3.
