1.2 STATEMENTS
Release Notes
1.2.1
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statements
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statements:
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 any interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
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.
FCC Warning: The FCC requires that you be notified that any changes or modifications to
this device not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.
This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
Only those antennas with same type and lesser gain filed under this FCC ID number can be
used with this device.
The final system integrator must ensure there is no instruction provided in the user manual
or customer documentation indicating how to install or remove the transmitter module.

Release Notes
Required end product labeling:
Any device incorporating this module must include an external, visible, permanent marking
or label which states: “Contains FCC ID: VOB-E1729.”
1.2.2
Industry Canada (IC) Statements
Industry Canada (IC) Statements:
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre
le fonctionnement.
RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of
20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.
Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:
Cet appareil est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements définies pour un
environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance
minimale de 20 centimètres entre le radiateur et votre corps.
Required end product labeling:
Any device incorporating this module must include an external, visible, permanent marking
or label which states: “Contains IC:7361A-E1729.”

Appendix A: Antenna Used in NB106-N WWAN Module FCC and IC
Tests
NB106-N WWAN module does not have its own transmitting antenna. Transmitting power
is delivered to the connector of the main antenna. In the tests on NB106-N NGFF WWAN
module for FCC and IC certification, a dipole antenna is used and connected to the main
antenna connector.
The antenna gains listed in the following table are the maximum permissible ones that
comply with ERP/EIRP and MPE Limit.
