Communications Flow

The MTQN-MNG1-B02 provides a full UART interface from the cellular radio to the user application. Model B02
also provides a USB interface.

Note:

When the USB interface is used via the 40-pin connector (VUSB_SELECT is 5V) or the USB
connector, the serial interface to the radio will not function.

Pin 24 VUSB_SELECT must be pulled to 5V to enable the USB interface available through the 40­pin connector.

Switching between the USB interface and serial port requires a reset. The cellular radio checks
for a USB connection upon reset. If USB is not present, it will only use the serial port. If USB is
present upon reset, it will only use USB.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Chapter 5 – Safety Information

Handling Precautions

To avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge, use proper precautions when handling any cellular
device. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of static
build-up, use proper precautions to avoid exposure to electronic discharge during handling and mounting the
device.

Radio Frequency (RF) Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.

Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is
inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow
restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.

Do not place the antenna outdoors.
Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may

endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction
may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle
with fuel.

Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

Sécurité relative aux appareils à radiofréquence (RF)

SAFETY INFORMATION

General Safety

The device is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. Fixed means the device is
physically secured at one location and cannot be easily moved to another location. Mobile means the device is
used in other than fixed locations.

CAUTION:Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and the
body of the user or nearby persons. The device is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications
within 20 cm (8 inches) of the user’s body.

ou à proximité de personnes. Le modem n'est pas conçu pour, ou destinés à être utilisés dans les applications
portables, moins de 20 cm du corps de l'utilisateur.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Potential Interference

Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.

The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:

Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.

Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.

Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the
pacemaker and the device.

Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or
jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Vehicle Safety

When using your device in a vehicle:

Do not use this device while driving.
Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices in vehicles.
If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, operating the wireless device could interfere with the vehicle’s

electronics. To avoid such problems, use qualified personnel to install the device. The installer should verify
the vehicle electronics are protected from interference.

Using an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn is not permitted on public roads.

MultiConnect®Dragonfly™Nano MTQN-MNG1-B02 Device Guide 15

Chapter 6 – Getting Started

Communicating with the Device

Following are three options for communicating with the device.

1. Install USB drivers and plug into the micro USB connector. No need for a host board.

2. Access the device's USB interface via pins 6, 7, and 24 of the 40-pin connector. Data pins 6 and 7 are

parallel with the micro USB connector on the MTQN. There is no connection to pins 6, 7 and 24 on
the MTUDK-ST-Cell. VUSB_SELECT is isolated from VUSB of the micro USB connector.

3. Establish serial communication using Multitech developer board MTUDK2-ST-Cell. See the Universal

Developer Kit 2.0 Developer Guide (PN S000610) for more information.

Installing a SIM Card

Note: When using the Dragonfly™ Nano with a developer board, install the SIM card before mounting the

Dragonfly™ Nano on the developer board.

Note: All Dragonfly™ Nano models require the use of a Micro SIM (3FF) card.

GETTING STARTED

To install the SIM card:

Refer to the image below on how to install the SIM card.
Slide the SIM card completely into the SIM holder.

Configuring u-blox Cellular Radio

This MNG1 device uses a cellular radio that can operate on different carrier networks (not simultaneously).

Your device is configured in the factory for Cat M1 mode and to automatically detect your SIM to register on your
carrier network provided their network is on supported list of MNOs for the u-blox cellular radio. Typically, most
customers should not need to use the commands in this section.

If your carrier network is not on the supported list of MNOs, you must set to Cat M1 mode and follow the
instructions per that scenario below.

MultiConnect®Dragonfly™Nano MTQN-MNG1-B02 Device Guide 17

GETTING STARTED

The MNG1 model is licensed to operate on both Verizon or AT&T networks. Refer to the Sara-R4/N4 series AT
Commands Manual for more details.

Note: If your device is on +UMNOPROF: 0 (SW default), there is no network and you must set one.

Set at the factory (factory default on MNG1):

1. This command sets your device in Cat M1 mode:

AT+URAT=7

2. This command automatically detects the carrier network based on your device SIM, provided that

your carrier network (or MNO) is on the supported list:

AT+UMNOPROF=1

To set or switch carrier networks:

1. Deregister the module from the network or perform an AT+CFUN=0 cycle:

AT+CFUN=0

2. Set the carrier network (refer to the list of +UMNOPROF values):

To AT&T:

AT+UMNOPROF=2

To Verizon:

AT+UMNOPROF=3

3. Reboot the module in order to apply the new configuration:

AT+CFUN=15

If the APN is known and will not change: We recommend hard-coding the MNO and setting the PDP context
manually. The following example of an AT command sequence is for AT&T.

AT+CFUN=0

AT+UMNOPROF=2

AT+CGDCONT=1, "IPV4V6", "phone"

AT+CFUN=15

If the MNO is not listed: the following command sequence is recommended.

NOTE: We recommend changing +UMNOPROF separately before +UBANDMASK.

AT+CFUN=0

AT+UMNOPROF=0

AT+CFUN=15

AT+CFUN=0

AT+CGDCONT=..

AT+UBANDMASK=..

AT+CFUN=15

18 MultiConnect®Dragonfly™Nano MTQN-MNG1-B02 Device Guide

WEEE Directive

The WEEE Directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers to take­back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the
products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all MultiTech products imported into the EU as of August
13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery
from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.

Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user's responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by handing
it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate
collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources
and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information
about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your

REACH Statement

Registration of Substances

After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC Regulation
1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products would
be considered as “articles.” In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires registration of an article only if it
contains a regulated substance that “is intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions
of use,” our analysis is that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products constitute nonregisterable articles for their intended
and anticipated use.

Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)

Per the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) published October 28, 2008 we have reviewed
these substances and certify the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU “REACH”
requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance. If new SVHC candidates are published by the European
Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been confirmed to be greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi-Tech
Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance status.

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. also declares it has been duly diligent in ensuring that the products supplied are compliant
through a formalized process which includes collection and validation of materials declarations and selective
materials analysis where appropriate. This data is controlled as part of a formal quality system and will be made
available upon request.
