Attention: Technical Publications Dept. 472 Kato Terrace Fremont, CA 94539 Preface AirLink Communications, Inc. Page i December 11, 2002 Important Notice Because of 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. AirLink Communications, Inc., accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the AirLink Communications modem, or for failure of the AirLink Communications modem to transmit or receive such data. Safety and Hazards Do not operate the AirLink Communications 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 AirLink Communications modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The AirLink Communications modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Do not operate the AirLink Communications modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the AirLink Communications modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the AirLink Communications modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems. The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the AirLink Communications 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. Limitation of Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of AirLink Communications, Inc. AIRLINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC. SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY AIRLINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS and ENGINEERING PRACTICES Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing: In accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992/2000, section 6.1.9, and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10°to 40°C (50°to 104°F) unless the particular equipment requirements specify testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity. Prior to testing, the EUT was tuned up in accordance with the manufacturer's alignment procedures. All external gain controls were maintained at the position of maximum and/or optimum gain throughout the testing. Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst case measurements.

The following measurements were performed with a Narda probe using ANSI/IEEE C95.1 as a guide. 2. Prior to making any measurements, the measurements system was calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures. 3. The EUT’s radiating element (antenna) was placed ona1mtall table for ease of testing. For equipment normally operated on a metal surface, a ground plane was used. 4. The remaining equipment necessary to operate the EUT was maintained at a distance from the measurement arrangement suitable to minimize interference with the measurements. 5. The minimum safe distance was calculated from the formula Power Density = EIRP / 4πR 2 (Peak Watts/m 2 ). The calculation is shown with the measurement data. 6. With the EUT operating at maximum power, a search was initiated for worst case emissions with the probe raised and lowered over a range…

The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 15.27(a) SPECIAL ACCESSORIES. Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer, without additional charge. Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special accessories supplied with the equipment. FCC ID: QQLC3110 MFA p02a0006, d02b0039 TABLE OF CONTENTS RULE DESCRIPTION PAGE .
