1. Introduction

The Smart SAM3S is a compact, light-weight, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA+ based modem. It
provides GSM, GPRS, UMTS and HSPA+ connectivity.

The Smart SAM3S is designed for both mobile and fixed M2M applications. It has an RJ45 socket for
input voltage and the serial RS232 signals, an FME-male for antenna connection, a SIM holder and an
LED indicator.

The Smart SAM3S is capable of sending/receiving SMS; Circuit switched data and Packet-switched data.

2. Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed whenever the Smart SAM3S modem is in operation or
in service. Failure to comply with these precautions violates the safety standards of the design,
manufacture and intended use of the product

- Switch off the Smart SAM3S modem :

 In hospitals or places where medical equipments may be in use.
 In an aircraft
 Refuelling points
 Explosive areas

- Restricted use of the Smart SAM3S modem

 Near any chemical plant
 Near any Fuel depot
 Areas with mobile phone warning signs

Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices. Road safety always comes first
The Smart SAM3S modem receives and transmit radio frequency energy while switched on, therefore

interference can occur if the Smart SAM3S is near TVs, radios, PCs or any inadequately shielded
equipment.

3. Radio frequency exposure - SAR

The Smart SAM3S modem is a low-power transceiver, similar to a typical handheld GSM/GPRS/UMTS
mobile phone. When it is turned on, it will emit low-level radio frequency energy.

There are different guidelines and standards around the world that govern the permitted levels of radio
frequency exposure for general population. The levels include a safety margin to a human body.

The Specific Absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency energy is absorbed
by the body when exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic field. The SAR value is determined at the
highest certified power level in the laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while
operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use minimum
power to connect to the network.

The Smart SAM3S modem is approved to use in applications where the antenna is placed more than

21cm from the body.

For other applications, the integrator is responsible for the local SAR requirements.
