E371 Module Installation and Collocation
Guidelines for Host Devices
1.0 Introduction
This document provides module and antenna installation guidelines for notebook computers to be
authorized for use with the E371 module through the FCC Class I or Class II Permissive Change
process. As the grantee Novatel Wireless is responsible for all integrations and must be
consulted on all regulatory matters involving the E371.
The module was originally granted by the FCC as a portable device with respect to RF Exposure
compliance. This document outlines what RF Ex posur e considerations are required when
integrating the E371 into a laptop type device for mobile or portable operation.
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 E371 module can be installed as a standalone transmitter in notebooks meeting the
following conditions:
Mobile device notebooks where >20cm separation distance is provided between
a.
the E371 transmitting antenna and the end user. The technical parameters for
mobile measurements are defined in Section 2.1.1.
Portable device notebooks where the separation distance is <20cm to ≥2.5cm
b.
provided between the E371 transmitting antenna that meet the technical
parameters defined in Section 2.1.2. These devices may not require SAR
evaluation and are covered by the original FCC/IC application.
c.
Portable device notebooks where the separation distance is <2.5cm provided
between the E371 transmitting antenna that meet the technical parameters
defined in Section 2.1.3. Devices require SAR evaluation and consultation by the
grantee (Novatel Wireless) is required.
Note:
1. “Standalone” when referenced in this document is defined where a single transmitter
is transmitting, as opposed to two or more transmitters transmitting simultaneously.
2. Mobile Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a
distance greater than ≥20cm from the user.
3. Portable Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna is located at a
distance less than ≤20cm from the user.
2) Collocated transmitters that can operate simultaneously with the E371 module is only
allowed if the technical requirements defined in Section 4.0 are satisfied.
3) Should end-user installation be available module/notebook Two-Way Authentication is
required. Please contact Novatel Wireless for additional details.
4) The FCC and Industry Canada IDs must be permanently affixed on the exterior of the
notebook or readily accessible under a panel or battery pack of the host device that
cannot be separated from the host device itself.

Version 2.2
The label must state:
• This device contains FCC ID: PKRNVWE371
• This device contains IC:3229A-E371
These installation guidelines are not applicable to non-notebook host devices or
5)
tablet PCs. The installation guidelines are applicable for notebook computers
where the E371 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.
6) These guidelines do not apply to devices that require power reduction to meet SAR
limits. These integrations must be coordinated directly through Novatel Wireless.
