3.1.3 UIM Card
LP15 supports UIM card. The UIM interface includes all the necessary signals, which are
routed to the interface connector
.
3.1.4 USB PORT
LP15 has USB client port, it can be used as debug, download, AT command and modem
interface port.
3.1.5 RF Subsystem
LP15 includes all of the active BB and RF circuit, no need to add other RF components,
suggest to have a Pi type antenna matching circuits if you want to have external antenna

4 Regulatory and Safety Information
4.1 Regulatory Approvals
4.1.1 Transmitter
LP15 have been tested and meet FCC (Part2/Part 90) regulatory requirements.
4.1.2 Receiver
The receiver associated with this transmitting device has been tested and declared to meet the
regulatory requirements.
4.1.3 FCC Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition
that this device does not cause harmful interference.
The user should take caution that changes or modifications not expressly approved by
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. All required software
and operating conditions must not be violated by the installer/user and is an express condition
of use for this equipment.
Modular Approval for use as a module in mobile-only exposure conditions. Only those
antenna(s) specified in the filing may be used with this transmitter. This device is only
authorized for OEM integration into host products; consumer or end-user installation is not
allowed. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.

4.1.4 Labeling
The FCC labeling of the module is shown below. When integrating the module into a host,
the label must be visible through a window, visible through an access panel that is easily
removed, or a second label must be placed on the outside of the host device that contains the
following text: Contains FCC ID: J26-4859300114.
4.2 RF Exposure Compliance
The LP15 module radio is intended for use in the Industrial Monitoring
and Control and SCADA markets. The LP15 module unit must be
professionally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance
between the radiating structure and any person. It is the responsibility of
the user to guarantee compliance with the FCC MPE regulations when
operating this device.
LP15 module uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The
concentrated energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People
should not be in front of the antenna when the transmitter is operating.
The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does
not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population.
Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy are contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
The resulted power density at a distance of 20 cm can be deducted as follows:
EIRP = 23 + 2 = 25 dBm = 316 mW
Power Density = EIRP*Duty Cycle/(4π R2)
Page 10
LTE Mini PCI-e Module User Manual
10
= 305*1/(4*π *202) = 0.06 mW/cm
2
Where DutyCycle is 1 and R is 20 cm, antenna gain is 2dBi
The MPE limit for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure is shown in the FCC OET
Bulletin 65 Supplement C and can be calculated as follows:
MPE limit = 790.5/1500 = 0.527 mW/cm

5 Installation Guidelines
5.1 Introduction
Careful planning and preparation of any installation will always benefit the end result; always
read and follow all installation instructions. Follow ESD precautions and prepare an ESD safe
workspace for installation. Turn the power to the host off and ground yourself to dissipate
static charge.
Mount only in sockets and locations intended for Type F1 Full-Mini cards and consult
manufacturer on thermal management recommendations for the module mounted within the
host.
5.2 Application Type
The application type of the module is shown as bellow:
All instructions relating to the integration of the module described on the FCC Grant notes
must be followed.
