Any parts that are not used immediately should be properly resealed in the same moisture resistant bag using appropriate equipment or placed into a dry box until they are needed again. The moisture sensitivity level (MSL) shown below is the amount of time the NAD modules may be exposed before this action must be taken. If the allowed MSL time elapses, the NAD modules must be baked per standard protocol to remove moisture. Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL Level 3

(1 Week) 7.2 Electrostatic Discharge The NAD is generally well-protected from ESD by conductive full shielding when mounted on the parent device where adequate protections have been taken at the NAD electrical interfaces. As a stand-alone device, such protection is absent, and care must be taken to protect the NAD from ESD during handling prior to placement onto the parent device. Internal page 19 of 20 5G NAD Module Specification 8 Material Statement:

RF_734_02 04 April 16 Continental Automotive Systems, Inc. Modular Approval Request FCC (KDB 996369 D01 & Part 15.212) FCC ID: LHJ-FE5NAR131A Items to be covered by Single modular transmitters. 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. Answer from applicant Yes, please see exhibition external photos Yes, The modular has buffer modulation /data inputs 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. Yes, please see the schem.pdf 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(b)(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. 6. The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number in accordance with 15.212 (a)(1)(vi)(A) / (B). 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment there are very strict operational and timing authorization. For example, requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 1.1310, 2.1091, 2.1093, and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance.
