1.0 Safety Precautions

1.1 Important Safety Information

The following information applies to the devices described in this manual. Always observe all standard and accepted safety precautions and guidel ines when handling any electrical device.

• Save this manual: it contains important safety information and operating instructions.

• Do not expose the Enfora Enabler II-G A-GPS product to open flames.

• Ensure that liquids do not spill into the devices.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the product: Doing so will void the warranty. With the

exception of the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM), this product does not contain consumer-serviceable components.

2.0 Regulatory Compliance FCC

2.1 Integration Considerations and Installation Requirements

The Enabler II-G A-GPS modem is designed for use in a variety of host units, "enabling" the host platform to perform wireless data communications and GPS location. However, there are certain criteria relative to integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, handheld or PocketPC with FCC compliance requirements.

• In order to use the Enabler II-G A-GPS modem without additional FCC certification approvals,

, monitor and control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance

the installation must meet the following conditions:

• For the transmitter to meet the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of

2.1091, the ERP must be less than 1.5 watts for personnel separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9 in). Therefore, the maximum antenna gain cannot exceed +3.3dBi. If greater than 1.5 watts exists, then additional testing and FCC approval is required.

• If used in a "portable" application such as a handheld device with the antenna

less than 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the human body when the device is operating, then the integrator is responsible for passing additional "as installed" testing:

• SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, with results submitted to the FCC for

approval prior to selling the integrated unit. If unable to meet SAR requirements, then the host unit must be restricted to "mobile" use (see below).

• Unintentional emissions, FCC Part 15; results do not have to be submitted to

the FCC unless requested, although the test provides substantiation for required labeling (see below).

MGL0208PB001 4 Version: Preliminary – 3/31/2006

Enfora Enabler II-G Assisted GPS Modem Integration Guide

• If used in a "mobile" application where the antenna is normally separated at least

20 cm (7.9 in) from the human body during device operation, then an appropriate warning label must be placed on the host unit adjacent to the antenna. The label should contain a statement such as the following:

RF exposure. Keep at least 20 cm

(7.9 in) separation distance from

the antenna and the human body.

• Host unit user manuals and other documentation must also include appropriate

caution and warning statements and information.

• If the FCCID for the modem is not visible when installed in the host platform, then a

permanently attached or marked label must be displayed on the host unit referring to the enclosed modem.

For example, the label should contain wording such as:

Contains GSM/GPRS modem transmitter module

FCC ID: MIVMLG0208

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

Contains FCC ID: MIVMLG0208

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

• Any antenna used with the modem must be approved by the FCC or as a Class II

Permissive Change (including MPEL or SAR data as applicable). The "professional installation" provision of FCC Part 15.203 does not apply.

• The transmitter and antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with

any other antenna or transmitter. Violation of this would allow a user to plug another transmitter in to the product and potentially create an RF exposure condition.

The transmitter and antenna must not be collocated

Figure 2 – UDP API Architecture

Assisted GPS System Overview

The Enfora Enabler II-G A-GPS module provides a compelling, integrated module approach to providing Assisted GPS, and GPRS packet data solutions in a single module. This implementation provides various alternatives from simple autonomous GPS processing to Assisted GPS solutions. The integration of the GPS chipset inside the Enabler modem reduces the complexity of system integration when location aware solutions are being developed. This allows for smaller sizes, faster updates, and lower overall system cost. The following diagram demonstrates the Assisted GPS architecture using Enfora Enabler II-G A-GPS module. For additional detail regarding the various GPS alternatives available, see GSM2000PB001MAN - Enfora Integrated GPS Module Overview.
