2.3.3 Application
The power supply is one of the key issues in the design of a PCI Extreme product. The PCIE-100 is
supplied by one single power supply VBATT.
Due to the bursted emission in GSM / GPRS, the power supply must be able to deliver high current
peaks in a short time.
When designing the power supply for your application please pay specific attention to power losses.
Ensure that the input voltage VBATT never drops below specification. Any voltage drops that may
occur in a transmit burst should not exceed XXX mV.
The best approach to reducing voltage drops is to use a board-to-board connection as
recommended, and a low impedance power source. The resistance of the power supply lines on the
host board and of a battery pack should also be considered.
2.3.4 Power consumption
Power consumption is dependent on the configuration used. It is for this reason that the following
consumption values are given for each mode, RF band and type of wireless feature needed (GSM,
GPRS, EDGE and UMTS)
All the following information is given assuming a 50 Ω RF output.
The following consumption values were obtained by performing measurements on PCIE-100
samples at a temperature of 25° C.
Three VBATT values are used to measure the consumption, VBATT

The SIM interface controls 1.8V and 3V SIM card. It is recommended to add Transient Voltage
Suppressor diodes (TVS) on the signal connected to the SIM socket in order to prevent any

TVS diodes with low capacitance (less than 10 pF) have to be connected on SIM-CLK and SIM-DATA

7.2 Safety recommendations (for information only)
IMPORTANT: FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM APPLICATION BASED ON
PCIE-100. PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY
7.2.1 RF safety
7.2.1.1 General
Your GSM terminal is based on the GSM standard for cellular technology. The GSM standard is
spread all over the world. It covers Europe, Asia and some parts of America and Africa. This is the
most used telecommunication standard.
Your GSM terminal is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives
radio frequency energy. When you use your GSM application, the cellular system which handles your
calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
7.2.1.2 Exposure to RF energy
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
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Maximum antenna gain that can be used with this product is 4.9dBi for 850MHz and 10.9dBi for
1900MHz
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using GSM terminals. Although
research on health effects from RF energy has focused on the current RF technology for many
years, scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After
existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had
been tested, it has been concluded that the product was fitted for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do to minimize
exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In
addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular terminal efficiently by following the
below guidelines.

agreement.

PRELIMINARY
7.2.1.3 Efficient terminal operation
For your GSM terminal to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality:
If your terminal has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call
with the antenna retracted. However your GSM terminal operates more efficiently with the antenna
fully extended.
Do not hold the antenna when the terminal is « IN USE ». Holding the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level than needed.
7.2.1.4 Antenna care and replacement
Do not use the GSM terminal with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your
manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved
antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments
could damage the terminal and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type
approval.
WM_DEV_PCIE100_PTS_003
July, 01th 2008
7.2.2 General safety
7.2.2.1 Driving
Check the laws and the regulations regarding the use of cellular devices in the area where you have
to drive as you always have to comply with them. When using your GSM terminal while driving,
please:
• Give full attention to driving,
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
7.2.2.2 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy.
However RF energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment.
7.2.2.3 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment
is adequately shielded from RF energy.
7.2.2.4 Medical electronic equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc...)
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your terminal OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.

PRELIMINARY
7.2.2.5 Aircraft
Turn your terminal OFF before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your terminal while the
aircraft is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit
using your modem while airborne.
7.2.2.6 Children
Do not allow children to play with your GSM terminal. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves
or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could
damage the modem, or make calls that increase your modem bills.
7.2.2.7 Blasting areas
WM_DEV_PCIE100_PTS_003
July, 01th 2008
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a « blasting area » or in
areas posted: « turn off two-way radio ». Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
7.2.2.8 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your terminal OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your application or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injuries or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle
which contains your terminal or accessories.
Before using your terminal in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country
in which the vehicle is to be used.
