Important NoticeDue 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 HazardsDo not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF . 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 operatorʹs control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Sierra Wireless Inc. Address: 13811 Wireless Way Richmond, British Columbia Canada, V6V 3A4 Tel: +1-604-232-1440 Fax: +1-604-231-1109 Date: October 29, 2009 Request for Modular Approval FCC ID: N7NMC8700 Dear Sir/ Madam, Sierra Wireless Inc., MC8700 GSM/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE/ HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+ module, FCC ID: N7NMC8700 would like to request for a modular approval. The requirements of Public Notice DA00-1407 are shown on the following statements: Item Requirements EUT 1 The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. Yes, the EUT does provide a RF shielding. Refer to EUT picture. 2 The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs. Yes, the EUT has buffered data input it’s integrated in chip MDM8200. 3 The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. Yes, the EUT has its own power supply regulation and it’s integrated in chip: PM7540 4 The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. The EUT was tested in a stand-alone configuration via a test kit. Please see section photographs of test configuration in the test report. 5 The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: "Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1" or "Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1." Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. Please see label sample for the FICC ID of this module. FCC ID: N7NMC8700. 6 The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. The EUT is compliant with all FCC rules. Details instructions of maintaining compliance are given in the user manual. 7 The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. The EUT is compliant with RF exposure requirement MPE evaluation. The MPE report is addressed in the RF exposure exhibition. Contact Person: Ying Wang
