13 Conformity Assessment Issues

The GE864-QUAD / PY module is assessed to be conform to the R&TTE Directive as stand-alone products, so If the module is installed in conformance with Dai Telecom installation instructions require no further evaluation under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive and do not require further involvement of a R&TTE Directive Notified Body for the final product.

In all other cases, or if the manufacturer of the final product is in doubt then the equipment integrating the radio module must be assessed against Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive.

In all cases assessment of the final product must be made against the Essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive Articles 3.1(a) and (b), safety and EMC respectively, and any relevant Article 3.3 requirements.

The GE864-QUAD / PY module is conform with the following European Union Directives:

•R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC (Radio Equipment & Telecommunications Terminal Equipments)

•Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and product safety

•Directive 89/336/EEC for conformity for EMC

In order to satisfy the essential requisite of the R&TTE 99/5/EC directive, the GE864-QUAD / PY module is compliant with the following standards:

•GSM (Radio Spectrum). Standard: EN 301 511 and 3GPP 51.010-1

•EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). Standards: EN 301 489-1 and EN 301 489-7

•LVD (Low Voltage Directive) Standards: EN 60 950

In this document and the Hardware User Guide, Software User Guide all the information you may need for developing a product meeting the R&TTE Directive is included.

The GE864-QUAD / PY module is conform with the following US Directives:

•Use of RF Spectrum. Standards: FCC 47 Part 24 (GSM 1900)

•EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). Standards: FCC47 Part 15

To meet the FCC’s RF exposure rules and regulations:

-The system antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all the persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

-The system antenna(s) used for this module must not exceed 3 dBi for mobile and fixed or mobile operating configurations.

-Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter

operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Manufacturers of mobile, fixed or portable devices incorporating this module are advised to clarify any regulatory questions and to have their complete product tested and approved for FCC compliance.
