Any changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Interference statement: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence‐exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Radiation Exposure Statement: IPn4G complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS‐102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Nevertheless, the product should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and any person and must not be collocated with other transmitters except otherwise authorised. This device is approved to be used with a dipole antenna with a maximum gain of 2 dBi. This product integrates and is authorized to be co‐located with a Novatel Wireless' Expedite® E371 PCI Express Mini Card (FCC ID: PKRNVWE371, IC: 3229A‐E371). The Novatel Wireless' Expedite® E371 PCI Express Mini Card is granted with a modular approval for mobile applications. Integration has been done meeting the following conditions: 1. At least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and any person body is maintained at all times. 2. To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile only exposure condition does not exceed 3.5 dBi for 850 MHz frequency band, 5.0 dBi for 700 MHz frequency band, 5.0 dBi for 1700 MHz frequency band and 3.0 dBi for 1900 MHz frequency band. 3. The Novatel Wireless' Expedite® E371 PCI Express Mini Card antenna is not co‐located with any other antennas except with the antenna of the IPn4G product. FCC Class B digital device notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 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 interference to radio communications. 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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: ‐ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ‐ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ‐ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. ‐ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

RF Exposure / RF Technical Brief BABT TCB Balfour House, Churchfield Road, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, KT12 2TD ATTN: Reviewing Engineer RF exposure information for the equipment IPn4G (FCC ID: NS9IPN4GNBG30, IC: 3143A- IPN4GNBG30) 1. Introduction: The device IPn4G (FCC ID: NS9IPN4GNBG30, IC: 3143A-IPN4GNBG30) is designed to be used only for fixed and mobile applications. This product integrates a Novatel Wireless' Expedite® E371 PCI Express Mini Card (FCC ID: PKRNVWE371, IC: 3229A-E371). The Novatel Wireless' Expedite® E371 PCI Express Mini Card is granted with a modular approval for mobile applications and the highest antenna gains allowed for use with this module for mobile RF exposure conditions are 3.5 dBi (850 MHz), 5.0 dBi (700 MHz), 5.0 dBi (1700 MHz), and 3.0 dBi (1900 MHz). The antenna(s) used for IPn4G transmitter and the antenna used for Novatel Wireless' Expedite® E371 PCI Express Mini Card are co-located and can transmit simultaneously. All the antennas must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all the persons. 2. MPE limits: The table below is excerpted from RSS-102, Issue 4, 4.2, titled “RF Limits for Devices used by the General Public”: Frequency Range (MHz) Power density (W/m 2 ) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Averaging time (minutes) 300 – 1500 f (MHz)/150 f (MHz) /1500 6 1500 – 15000 10 1.0 6 The table below is excerpted from Table 1B of 47 CFR 1.1310 titled Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE), Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: Frequency Range (MHz) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Averaging time (minutes) 300 – 1500 f (MHz) /1500 30 1500 – 100.000 1.0 30 3. Compliance criteria: Power density of individual transmitters is calculated using the equation: 2 4 PG S R   where: S = power density (in appropriate units, e.g. mW/cm 2 ) P = power input to the antenna (in appropriate units, e.g., mW) 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 (appropriate units, e.g., cm) 3.1. Standalone compliance criteria: Power density must be lower than the MPE limits stated in item 2. 3.2. Simultaneous transmission compliance criteria The su m of the MPE ratios (Power density/MPE limit) for all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated in the device based on the calculated power density is ≤ 1.0. 4.
