1 Introduction
The purpose of this guideline is to enable mechanical and electrical installation of the RD-1/RD-2 WWAN module
into a host laptop with the minimum of risk of damage to the module. Possible misuse cases are identified and
mitigation defined. Failure to observe these guidelines at all times during the unpacking, handling and assembly
processes may result in avoidable damage to the module. This document provides the minimum handling
requirements for satisfactory handling.
2 FCC part 15 notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This
device may not cause harmful interference; and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment. Antenna to be used with this equipment should be dipole type with 3 dBi
maximum gain.
NOTE: Modifications not expressly approved by Nokia could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: Required Minimum distance between antenna and the user is 20cm.
The FCC requires that a label must be placed on the outside of the final product stating:
“Contains FCC ID: LJPRD-1” or “Contains FCC ID: LJPRD-2” depending of the module to be integrated.
3 ESD/Static Sensitive Device
The RD-1/RD-2 WWAN module is a static sensitive device. Charges and discharges in excess of ± 1000V may
result in irreparable damage to the module. Ambient relative humidity (RH) should be considered, lower humidity
may result in the possibility for higher electrostatic potentials to accumulate resulting in higher discharges to or from
the module. Consequently operators should take all necessary electrostatic precautions before and during
handling of the module. These include, but are not limited to
• The use of grounded wrist straps when handling the module or the packaging
• Temporary storage (if required) in ESD approved trays
• The use of protective hand and/or finger covering where during the complete unpacking and assembly
process
• The use of static protective mats
• After removal from protective packaging modules should remain physically isolated from each other.
