1.3.2 SAR 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 BG2-E/BG2-W 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 European and US markets 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.

1.3.4 Safety 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 BG2-E/BG2-W. 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 GmbH assumes no liability for customer 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 im planted medical 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 sure it can­not be switched on inadvertently. The op eration of wireless 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 depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Ope ration 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 r egulations 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 handsfree op eration. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
Handsfree devices must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or oper­ation can constitute a safety hazard.
IMPORTANT! Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for e ssential commu­nications, for example emergency calls. Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular sign a l stre ng th . Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialling etc.). Yo u may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi­nal or mobile.

4 Antenna Interface

19
4 Antenna Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50. BG2-E/BG2-W is capable of sustaining a total mis­match at the antenna lines without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF pow­er.
The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi­ated power, DC-power consumption and harmonic suppression. Matching networks are not in­cluded on the BG2-E/BG2-W PCB and should be placed in the host application.
Regarding the return loss BG2-E/BG2-W provides the following values:
Table 8: Return loss
State of module Return loss of module Recommended return loss of application
Receive > Transmit not applicable > Idle <
The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. This is necessary because the antenna connector is DC coupled to groun d via an in ductor for ESD protection.

When data are transmitted over GPRS the quad band module variant automatically reverts to a lower Multislot Class if the temperature rises to the limit specified for normal operation and, vice versa, returns to the higher Multislot Class if the temperature is back to normal.

7.2 Compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations
The Equipment Authorization Certification for the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference appli­cation described in Section 7.1 will be registered under the following identifiers
FCC Identifier: QIPBG2 Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-BG2 Granted to Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH
Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating BG2-W modules are authorized to use the FCC Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the BG2-W modules for their own final products according to the conditions referenced in these documents. In this case, the FCC la­bel of the module shall be visible from the outside, or the host device shall bear a second label stating "Contains FCC ID QIPBG2", and accordingly "Contains IC 7830A-BG2".
IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating BG2-W 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. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements for por­table mobiles (see Section 1.3.2 for detail).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
