Regulatory Compliance

FCC CERTIFICATION

Novatel Wireless certifies that the Expedite L10-G GSM Radio Module complies with the RF
requirements applicable to broadband PCS equipment operating under the authority of 47
CFR Part 24, Subpart E and Part 22 Subpart H of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This
certification is contingent upon installation, operation and use of the Expedite L10-G module
and its host product in accordance with all instructions provided to both the OEM and end
user. When installed and operated in a manner consistent with the instructions provided, the
Expedite L10-G module meets the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits for general
population / uncontrolled exposure as defined in Section 1.1310 of the FCC Rules and
Regulations.

The Expedite L10-G module is designed for use in a variety of host units, enabling the host
platform to perform wireless data communications. However, there are certain criteria relative
to integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, handheld, monitor and
control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC
compliance requirements.

Important Information for Canada/USA OEM Integrators

This section provides guidance for using the Expedite L10-G in host devices through the FCC
Permissive Change process. When utilizing the permissive change process, Novatel Wireless,
the grantee, is responsible for all integrations and must be consulted on all regulatory matters
involving the Expedite L10-G.

The Expedite L10- G module is granted with FCC/IC modular approval for mobile
applications, and may be installed as a standalone2transmitter in final products meeting the
following conditions. If the following conditions are followed, it may be used in final products
without additional FCC/IC certification. Otherwise, additional FCC/IC approvals must be
obtained.

1

Mobile Device Definition – FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a distance ≥

20cm from the user.

2

Standalone is defined as a single transmitter transmitting as opposed to 2 or more

transmitters transmitting simultaneously.

 The antenna connected to the Expedite L10-G module must be installed to provide at

least 20 cm separation from the human b ody at all times.

 The Expedit e L10-G module and transmitter antennas must not be co-located with any

other transmitter or antenna within a host device.

 The transmitter antenna used with the Expedite L10-G module must not exceed the

following le vel:

 Cellular maximum permitted antenna gain: 5.39dBi
 PCS band maximum permitted antenna gain: 3.31dBi

 To comply with the aspects of KDB996369, strict adherence to the design parameters in

Section 4. 1.1.3 Antenna And RF Signal Trace must be observed. Section 4.1.1.3 provides
PCB RF trace design guideline s for the coplanar microstrip between the Expedite L10-G
RF compression pads and the U.FL style coaxial connector.

 A label containing the FCC and Industry Canada IDs must be permanently affixed to the

exterior of the host device into which the Expedite L10-G module is installed

. The label
may also be under a panel or battery pack if it is readily accessible and cannot be
separated from the host device itself. The label must contain a statement similar to the
following;

 This device contains FCC ID: PKRNVWGSM0508
 This equipment contains equipment certi fied under IC: 3229A-GSM0508

If any of these conditions are not met then additional information should be sought from the
FCC or an FCC qualified test laboratory.

If the Expedite L10-G module is intended for use in

a portable1device, the OEM integrator is
responsible to design the product to comply with RF exposure, and must work w ith Novatel
Wireless (the grantee) to satisfy FCC/IC SAR requirements. Refer to FCC OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C for information about FCC RF exposure compliance requirem ents for mobile
and portable devices.

The system user manuals and other documentation must clearly indicate operating conditions
that must be observed to ensure compliance with FCC/IC RF exposu

re guidelines and also

include appropriate caution and warning stateme nts and information.

The host device containing the Expedite L10-G module may also require compliance to FCC
Part 15 Subpart B – Unintentional Radiators.
