qca.ant@qti.Qualcomm.com 80-58493-3 Rev. AD Confidential Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its affiliated companies May Contain Trade Secrets 12 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 7 Antenna Placement Inside the Host System and RF Exposure The FCC and regulatory bodies of other countries impose strict conditions and limitations on the RF exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for the Module depend on:

Transmit power. Location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system. Expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user. OEM integrators must take great care to ensure each host system complies with the applicable RF exposure requirements. For FCC The antenna-to-user separation distance must be >20 cm. For IC Canada The antenna-to-user separation distance must be >20 mm. To ensure compliance with the radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines, this device must be used at least 20 mm away from your body or nearby persons. Failure to observe this warning could result in the RF exposure levels exceeding the applicable limits. CAUTION: Failure to adhere to these separation/spacing rules will invalidate the FCC certification for the Module. This separation is measured between the closest point of each transmitting antenna inside the host device to the point of contact by the user or nearby person outside of the host device. For notebooks/netbooks/laptops with antenna(s) in the display section, the LCD is opened 90 degrees/perpendicular to the keyboard. The separation distance is then measured from the nearest point of each transmitting antenna to the bottom of the host. NOTE: When one or more of these conditions cannot be met for a particular host system, additional testing is required to secure the necessary certifications for the system. Contact a Qualcomm account representative with any questions regarding compliance for host system(s) with these restrictions. NOTE: These restrictions do not apply to a receive-only antenna. 80-58493-3 Rev. AD Confidential Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its affiliated companies May Contain Trade Secrets 13 MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 8 Simultaneous Transmission with Other Integrated or Plug-In Radios The FCC imposes conditions and limitations when additional radio(s) are co-located in the same host system as the Qualcomm Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. Co-locating other radios, such as an integrated or plug-in wireless WAN/cellular radio with the Qualcomm wireless LAN module requires additional evaluation and possible submission for authorization from the FCC. The rules are highly dependent on the characteristics of the particular radios that are co-

located and simultaneously transmitting. The OEM integrator should seek guidance from a knowledgeable test lab or consultant to determine if additional testing and FCC certification is required. In this case, failure to evaluate and follow the required FCC procedures will invalidate the FCC certification of the Module and end system. Detailed rules from the FCC are described in various Knowledge Database (KDB) publications and can be found using the following instructions. 1. To download the FCC rules for co-located radios:

a. Go to https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm b. Enter 616217 in the publication number search box c. Download latest applicable version of KDB 616217 document. 2. For expert advice regarding co-location rules, the recommendation is to contact an FCC-
