SUMMARY

Wavecom WMO2 Modem

CAUTION :

To ensure that the Modem complies with current FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output
power and human exposure to radiofrequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm
must be maintained between the unit’s antenna and the body of the user and any nearby persons at
all times and in all applications and uses. Additionally, in mobile applications, maximum antenna
gain must not exceed 3 dBi (to comply with Section 24.232(b)) and is limited to 7dBi for fixed
applications. Finally, the tune-up procedure for the WMO2-G1900 ensures that the maximum RF
output power of the devices does not exceed 30.0dBm within the variations that can be expected
due to quantity production and testing on a statistical basis.

WARNING :

This transmitter, including its antenna, has not been approved to operate as a portable device at
less than 20 cm from persons, therefore must not be used in such configuration for complying with
FCC RF exposure requirements.

Holding bridles

Modem mounting

2.2 Installing the modem

To install the modem, plug the device on a DC power supply (for automotive application,
connect the device on the permanent « + » and insert the SIM card in the holder).

INSTALLATION/START-UP

Make sure that an antenna is connected.
In order to extract or to insert the Micro SIM card, it is necessary to press the SIM holder ejector with a sharp element (a pen

for example).
If this sequence is not respected, the SIM holder could be damaged.

2.3 Electrical characteristics

2.3.1 Switching the GSM modem on/off

The device is permanently powered (when connected to the power supply).

2.3.2 Voltage range

Voltage range : 5 to 32V DC (GSM 900) - 6 to 32V DC (GSM 1800/1900)
GND : 0V

2.3.3 Overvoltage/undervoltage

Correct operation of the Wavecom WMO2 modem in communication mode is not guaranteed if input voltage
fall below 5V (GSM 900) - 6V (GSM 1800/1900). The modem is protected against voltage over 32V.
When input voltages exceed 32V, the supply voltage is disconnected in order to protect the electronic components from an
overvoltage.

TWO CASES ARE POSSIBLE:

- IF THE OVERVOLTAGE IS CONTINUOUS, THE PROTECTION IS GUARANTEED BY THE FUSE.

- IN THE CASE OF TRANSIENT PEAKS, THE MODEM GUARANTEES ITS OWN PROTECTION.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING: SPECIFIC DEFAULTS POSSIBLY ENCOUNTERED

5.1 The modem does not answer through the serial link

A) Is the modem correctly powered on?

❏ If not, the correct power supply is 5 to 32V (GSM 900) - 6 to 32V (GSM 1800/1900).

B) Is the serial cable suitable and adjusted in the modem and PC sockets?

❏ A suitable cable must follow pin assignment described on figure 6.
❏ Check in particular, that Rx et Tx are properly connected.

C) Check that your communication program is properly configured:

❏ Modem factory setting for the character framing are:

➫ Data Bits : 8
➫ Parity : None
➫ Stop Bits : 1

❏ The factory setting for baud rate is autobauding mode.

D) Does any other program interfere with your communication program (conflict on communication port access)?

❏ If yes, close any application likely to interfere (e.g. mouse or printer driver).

NOTES ON SAFETY

7. RF EXPOSURE INSTRUCTIONS (WMO2-G1900 ONLY)

Pursuant to 47 CFR § 24.52 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, personal communications services (PCS) equipment is subject to
the radiofrequency radiation exposure requirements specified in § 1.1307(b), § 2.1091 and § 2.1093, as appropriate.

The Wavecom WMO2-G1900 Modem is a GSM (PCS-1900) terminal which operates in the US licensed PCS frequency
spectrum. The device transmits over the 1850-1910 MHz band and receives over the 1930-1990 MHz band.

Wavecom, Inc. certifies that it has determined that the Modem complies with the RF hazard requirements applicable to broadband
PCS equipment operating under the authority of 47 CFR Part 24, Subpart E of the FCC R ules and Regulations. This determination
is dependent upon installation, operation and use of the equipment in accordance with all instructions provided.

The Modem is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” means that the device is
physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. “Mobile” means that the device is
designed to be used in other than fixed locations and generally in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm
(8 inches) is normally maintained between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The Modem
is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications (within 20 cm of the body of the user) and such uses are
strictly prohibited.

8. INSTRUCTIONS TO OEM

This manual includes specific warnings and cautions in order to ensure that OEM are aware of their responsibilities, with regard
to RF exposure compliance, for products into which the Modem is integrated. With this guidance, the OEM will be able to
incorporate into their documentation the necessary operating conditions and warnings.

OEM need to provide a manual with the “final” product that clearly states the operating requirements and conditions and that
these must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure requirements / MPE limits (refer to chapter 7. RF
exposure instructions). This will enable the OEM to generate (and provide the end-user with) the appropriate operating instructions,
warnings and cautions, and/or markings for their product.
