Modem Integration Guide
1.1. Important Safety Information
The following information applies to the devices described in this manual. Always observe all standard and
accepted safety precautions and guidelines when handling any electrical device.
• Save this manual: it contains important safety information and operating instructions.
• Do not expose the Enfora Enabler II-G A-GPS product to open flames.
• Ensure that liquids do not spill onto the devices.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the product: Doing so will void the warranty. With the
exception of the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM), this product does not contain
consumer-serviceable components.
2.1. Integration Considerations and Installation Requirements
The Enabler II-G A-GPS modem is designed for use in a variety of host units, "enabling" the host platform to
perform wireless data communications and GPS location. However, there are certain criteria relative to
integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, handheld or PocketPC®, monitor and
control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC compliance
requirements.
• In order to use the Enabler II-G A-GPS modem without additional FCC certification approvals, the
installation must meet the following conditions:
• For the transmitter to meet the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of 2.1091, the
ERP must be less than 1.5 watts for personnel separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9
in). Therefore, the maximum antenna gain cannot exceed +3.3dBi. If greater than 1.5
watts exists, then additional testing and FCC approval is required.
• If used in a "portable" application such as a handheld device with the antenna less than
20 cm (7.9 in.) from the human body when the device is operating, then the integrator is
responsible for passing additional "as installed" testing:
• SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, with results submitted to the FCC for
approval prior to selling the integrated unit. If unable to meet SAR requirements,
then the host unit must be restricted to "mobile" use (see below).
• Unintentional emissions, FCC Part 15; results do not have to be submitted to the
FCC unless requested, although the test provides substantiation for required labeling
(see below).
