2130271 Rev 1.0 SB555 Embedded Modem Hardware Integration Guide Addendum Original Document2130075 SB555 Hardware Integration Guide Revision1.0 (April 2002) 2130271 Rev 1.0Nov.021 1 1: RF Integration • Receiver sensitivity • Matching • Antenna optionsReceiver sensitivity Page 79 of the of the Hardware Integration Guide includes “Table 7-1: Radio specifications”. This table has been corrected to: The receiver sensitivity in the PCS band has changed from -104 dBm to less than -106 dBm. The corrosponding sensitivity on the Cellular band now indicates less than -104 dBm. Matching antenna and cable The text on page 83 refering to antenna gain and cable loss should read: “Overall system antenna gain, with cable loss should be ≤+9 dBi. Keep in mind that your achieved value will have an impact on radiated power and RF exposure.” Antenna options Page 83 text refering antenna requirements to Table 7-1 is specifically for frequency band information.

Chapter 7: “RF Integration” has been amended. A section headed FCC should be added, as follows. FCC For operation in the United States, your integration is required to meet appropriate regulatory requirements for stand-alone operation, including FCC parts 2, 15, 22, and 24. FCC Part 15 tests must be performed on the “whole device” and are therefore your responsibility. Mobile vs. portable devices The Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering & Technology has published a bulletin, “Evalu- ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields”, OET Bulletin 65. This provides a detailed description of the difference between mobile and portable devices. The FCC guidelines differentiate between these devices according to the antenna’s proximity to people, either the user or others nearby. MobileThe FCC defines a mobile device as being designed for use “in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centi- meters is normally maintained between radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons.” Mobile devices include vehicle-mounted systems designed to be used by people that are typically well separated from the antenna. This also includes wireless devices associated with a personal computer, provided the antenna is kept at least 20 cm away from people. These devices are normally evaluated for exposure potential with relation to Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR part 2.1091. Hardware Integration Guide AddendumFCC Approval 2130271 Rev 1.0Nov.023 PortableA portable device has a transmitter “designed to be used with any part of its radiating structure in direct contact with the user’s body or within 20 centimeters of the body of a user or bystanders under normal operating conditions.” This category includes hand-held cellular telephones with the antenna built into the handset. Portable devices are evaluated with respect to the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) rules. These can be found in 47 CFR part 2.1093. Mobile approval and RF exposure requirements The SB555 module is approved for mobile operations only with respect to CFR 47 part 2.1091. FCC ID: N7NSB555 Note: If this module is intended to be used as a portable device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of part 2.1093. To ensure that the module meets the current FCC RF exposure guidelines, a separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.88") must be maintained between the module’s antenna and the body of the user and any nearby persons at all times and in all applica- tions and uses. Additionally, in mobile applications, maximum antenna gain must not exceed 9 dBi to comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation. Product labeling requirements For mobile devices, using the FCC approval obtained by Sierra Wireless, a label must be affixed to the outside of your end product—into which the authorized module is incorporated— with a statement similar to the following: This device contains TX FCC ID: N7NSB555 You need to provide a manual with your end product that clearly states the operating requirements and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure guidelines (as detailed above). Hardware Integration Guide AddendumFCC Approval 2130271 Rev 1.0Nov.024 The warnings must appear in a prominent location in the User Guide for your product and may include: CAUTION Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by Sierra Wireless, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this equipment. WARNING (EMI) – This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter- ference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment of…

2130075 Rev 1.0 SB555 Development Kit Hardware Integration Guide Proprietary and Confidential Preface Rev 1.0 Apr.02 Proprietary and Confidential1 Important Notice Because of the nature of wireless communica- tions, 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, Inc., 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 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. SB555 Hardware Integration Guide 2Proprietary and Confidential2130075 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. 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.

APPLICANT: SIERRA WIRELESS FCC ID: N7NSB555 MPE CALCULATION FOR MAXIMUM ANTENNA GAIN Formula used in the MPE Calculations: E^2/3770 = S, mW/cm2 Pwatts*Ggain = 10^(PdBm-30+GdBi)/10) E, V/m = (Pwatts*Ggain*30)^.5/d, meters d, m = ((Pwatts*G*30)/3770*S))^0.5 --------- ( A ) GdBi = 10 lg (d^2*S*3770/30*Pwatts) -------- ( B ) 1) 800 MHz Since S (mW/cm2) = 0.50 from 1.1310 Table 1 P (dBm) = 23.50 EUT output power MPE safe distance d (cm) = 19.99 Substitute these parameters into the A above, we have G (dBi) = 10.50 EUT antenna gain To maintain MPE safe distance d < 20 cm, the maximum Antenna gain can be up to 10.50 dBi. 2) 1900 MHz Since S (mW/cm2) = 1.00 from 1.1310 Table 1 P (dBm) = 23.50 EUT output power MPE safe distance d (cm) = 19.99 Substitute these parameters into the A above, we have G (dBi) = 13.51 EUT antenna gain To maintain MPE safe distance d < 20 cm, the maximum Antenna gain can be up to 13.51 dBi. To maintain MPE safe distance d < 20 cm, the maximum Antenna gain can be up to 10.50 dBi.
