1.3.2SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM module
must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This
requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable AHS3-US based applications to be
evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international regulations.
Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are
advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For USmarkets the
relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the final
product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives are in force
outside these areas.

fields (EMFs) from mobile telecommunication equipment (MTE) in the
frequency range 30MHz - 6GHz
IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications based on AHS3-US modules are required to have their
final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate related to the specific portable mobile. See also Section 8.2.

1.3.3SELV Requirements
The power supply connected to the AHS3-US module shall be in compliance with the SELV
requirements defined in EN 60950-1.
1.3.4Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating AHS3-US. Manufacturers of
the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product.
Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the product. Cinterion Wireless Modules assumes no liability for customer’s
failure to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of
mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted med ical equipment and hearing
aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to
the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker
patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while
it is on.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make su re it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wirele ss appliances in an aircraft is
forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe
these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the
offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel d epots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Oper ation of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while
switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets,
radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special re gulations
and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you
suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation.
Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.
