E351 Module Installation and Collocation Guidelines
1.0 Introduction
This document provides collocation and installation instructions for future laptop computers through a
FCC Class I or a Class II Permissive Change based on the PKRNVWE351 SAR data and evaluation.
This process is documented in FCC KDB 616217 D03 and KDB 447498. Other configurations not
specifically described in this document may be authorized in a Class I permissive changes through
coordination with Novatel Wireless Inc. to verify that all technical requirements defined in FCC KDB
616217 D03 or other relevant FCC specifications are adequately addressed.
For other basics and details about FCC RF exposure compliance requirements for mobile and portable
devices, see FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
The following installation host configurations are addressed in this document.
1) The E351 module can be installed as a standalone transmitter in notebooks meeting the
following conditions:
Mobile device notebooks where >20cm separation distance is provided between the
a.
WWAN antenna and the end user can be processed as a Class I change. The
technical parameters for mobile measurements are defined in Section 2.1.1.
Portable device notebooks where ≤20cm separation distance is provided between the
b.
WWAN transmitting antenna that meet the technical parameters defined in Section
2.1.2. These parameters define the conservative notebook configuration used as the
baseline host to evaluate SAR.
Note: “Standalone” condition is defined where a single transmitter is transmitting, as opposed
to two or more transmitters transmitting simultaneously.
2) This module was evaluated with a PIFA antenna (manufacturer xx, model xxx). As the
antenna is an integral part of the integration each antenna type will be subject to will be
subject to additional RF exposure evaluation and certification if applicable. The E351 will allow
collocated transmission through a Class I or Class II permissive change. The collocated
transmitters must meet the technical requirements defined in Secti on 4.0. and only after such
Class I or Class II is complete and according to its conditions.
3) Allow end-user installation prov ide d m odule/ not ebo ok Two-Way Authentication has been
addressed so that modules can only be activated in approved notebooks
4)The FCC ID must be permanently affixed on the exterior of the notebook so that it cannot be
separated from the host device itself.
PKRNVWE351
5) Per KDB 594280 Novatel Wireless Inc. will maintain control over settings that could allow the
product to operate outside the FCC rules.
6)
These installation guidelines are not applicable to non-notebook host devices or tablet
PCs. The installation guidelines are applicable for notebook computers where the E351
antennas and collocated antennas are located in the display portion of a notebook
computer. SAR evaluation is completed with the display open at a ninety-degree angle
as defined in KDB pub 616217 and Section 4 of KDB pub 447498.

This section defines host installation limitations for mobile device and portable device hosts.
(See section 3.0 for mobile and portable definitions).
2.1 Installation Guidelines
2.1.1 Mobile Device Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance >20cm)
The E351 module can be installed for use in any authenticated mobile device notebook as long as the
antenna gain of the host antenna does not exceed the gain listed in table 1. (See section 3.0 for the
measurement guidelines of separation between the transmitting antenna and the user.) The modem
must not be collocated with other antennas or transmitters unless the guidelines are followed within
this document. Please refer to Section 4 for collocated information.
The maximum E351 conducted power and host antenna gain is listed in Table1.

The E351 module can be installed in a portable device notebook as a Class II change if the antenna
separation distance from the user is ≤1.8cm. Table 3.0 describes the limitations if there are no
collocated transmitter s. Collocated radios must be considered as per FCC KDB 616217 D03
supplemental note and section 3 of KDB 447498. Section 2.1.3 does not apply to tablets or nonnotebook devices.

2.1.4 End User Installation
Two-way authentic at ion documentation must be submitted as part of a Class I or a Class II Permissive
Change allowing end-user installation into notebooks that utilize the method of authentication.
Installation by an end user will be allowed once a Class I permissive change has been approv ed upo n
an evaluation by Novatel Wireless. If a Class II Permissive Change is required installation by end user
will be allowed only after such C2PC is and according to its conditions.
Authentication occurs in two methods:
1. Software installed on the modem:
a) Installation Software including list of pre-approved Notebooks and Modules.
b) PID/VID identification numbers in Module: Factory Installed
c) Module identification numbers in Notebook: Factory Installed
2. Implementation:
When a Module Upgrade Kit is procured the module is available for End-User installati on in
approved Notebook computers.
The connection manager software is run on the Notebook and the Module ID numbers are
checked against a pre-determined list of approved ID numbers in the installation software.
Both the Notebook and the Module are checked. If either ID does not match, the installation of
the Driver is halted and the Module will not work .
Moving the Module to other NON approved notebooks will not allow the module to operate.
Since the driver will ONLY operate in pre-a ppro ve d Not ebo ok s with the proper ID and whi le a
properly ID-checked Module is resident, you cannot load the driver for NON-approved
Modules or Notebooks.

Instructions provided to the end user must contain information to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements for Mobile or portable devices.
3.0 Individual SAR Evaluation
Portable RF exposure evaluation has been completed based on SAR measurements on a
representative antenna and a representative notebook computer that provided 1.8 cm of separation
distance between the edge of the WWAN antenna and the end user orientated at 90 degrees as
illustrated i n Figur e 1. The measured SAR value was 0.764W/kg.
As indicated in KDB 447498 section 2 a), ii) when SAR values are <0.8W/kg for a conservative
exposure measurement the devices can be used in multiple host platforms with similar attributes.
These instructions are restricted to laptop and notebook type devices. Please refer to section 4.0 for
collocation guidelines.
Mobile Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a distance greater
than ≥20cm from the user.
Portable Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna is located at a distance less
than ≤20cm from the user.

6.1 Mobile Simultaneous Transmission guidelines
Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E351 module in mobile
configurations, provided the technical parameters listed in KDB pub 447498 section 8 are met. These
procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices.
These parameters are:
a) Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions and
categorically excluded by § 2.1091(c) can be incorporated in mobile device notebooks without
further testing or certification when:
i. The closest separation among all simultaneous (radiating) transmitting antennas is
≥20cm, or
ii. The antenna separation distance and MPE compliance boundary requirements that
enable all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated within the host to comply
with MPE limits are specified in the application filing of at least one of the certified
transmitters incorporated in the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for
portable use are incorporated in a mobile device notebook the antenna(s) must be ≥ 5
cm from all other simultaneous transmitting antennas.
b) All transmitters in the final product must be at least 20cm from users and nearby persons. For
6.2 Mobile Hosts calculations through power density calculations
The power density calculations for standalone transmitters at an exposure separation distance of 20
cm are shown in table 5 with the declared transmit power and antenna gain values. The calculations
are based on a cable loss of 0 dBi. The collocated transmitter values represent worst-case transmit
power and antenna gains allowable for use with the E351 WWAN module.
For frequency dependent limits, the lowest transmitter frequency was used to represent the lowest
MPE limit (e.g. 778MHz = 0.519 mW/cm
values for the corresponding frequency ranges.
Per OET 65, when RF sources have different frequencies, the fraction of the FCC power density limit
shall be determined and the sum of all fractional components shall be less than 1. The fractional MPE
calculation is a ls o addressed in FCC KDB 616217 D03 (Simultaneous Transmission Considerations).

). The WLAN power levels listed represent the worst-case
Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E351 module in portable
configurations, provided the technical parameters listed in KDB pub 447498 section 3 are met. These
procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices.
These parameters are:
Transmitters and modules for use in portable exposure conditions that allow simultaneous
transmission:
a) Except during network hand-offs where the maximum hand-off duration is less than 30
seconds, simultaneous transmission applies when there is overlapping transmission. SAR is
evaluated for simultaneous transmission using volume scan measurements.
b) SAR is not required for the following simultaneous transmission conditions
i) When excluded by the procedures in FCC KDB 616217 D03or KDB 648474.
ii) When specific requirements for simultaneous transmission SAR evaluation have not
been established for the host platform or device configuration:
(1) for the antennas that are located < 5 cm from persons, where
(a) The closest antenna separation distance is ≥ 5 cm for all simultaneous
transmitting antennas within the host or device; and
(b) The sum of the 1-g SAR is < 1.6 W/kg for all simultaneous transmitting
antennas that require stand-alone SAR evaluation or the SAR to peak
location separation ratios are < 0.3 for all simultaneous transmitting antenna
pairs; and
(c) The output power is ≤ 60/f(GHz) mW for any simultaneous transmitting
antenna(s) for which stand-alone SAR evaluation is not required.
(2) for the antennas that are located ≥ 5 cm from persons, contact the FCC
Laboratory to determine if the simultaneous transmission SAR exclusion
