This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable BGS2-E/BGS2-W based applications to be evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international regulations. Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For European and US markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives are in force outside these areas.

BGS2_HIO_v01.300 Confidential / Released Page 13 of 29 2011-03-08 BGS2-E/BGS2-W Hardware Interface Overview 1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information 14 1.3.3 Safety Precautions The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating BGS2-E/BGS2-W. Manufac-
turers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manu-
facture and intended use of the product. Cinterion Wireless Modules assumes no liability for customers failure to comply with these precautions. When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guide-
lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hear-
ing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufac-
turer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while it is on. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it can-
not be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any elec-
trical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard. Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger. Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driv-
ing a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or opera-
tion can constitute a safety hazard. IMPORTANT!
Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential com-
munications, for example emergency calls. Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi-
nal or mobile.

BGS2_HIO_v01.300 Confidential / Released Page 17 of 29 2011-03-08 BGS2-E/BGS2-W Hardware Interface Overview 3.1 Operating Modes 18 3.1 Operating Modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters. Table 7: Overview of operating modes Normal operation GSM/GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command. Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power sav-
ing can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 alternatingly activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow perma-
nent access to all AT commands. Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network, paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send and receive. Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption depends on network coverage individual set-
tings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna. Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is cur-
rently sent or received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS configuration (e.g. multislot set-
tings). GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network settings (e.g. power control level), uplink/downlink data rates, GPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings) and reduction of maximum output power. GSM IDLE GSM TALK GPRS IDLE GPRS DATA Power Down Alarm mode Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command. Only a voltage regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active. Interfaces are not accessible. Operating voltage (connected to BATT+) remains applied. Restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in Power Down mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is accessible.

BGS2-E/BGS2-W is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna lines without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi-
ated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are not included on the BGS2-E/BGS2-W module and should be placed in the host application if the antenna does not have an impendance of 50. Regarding the return loss BGS2-E/BGS2-W provides the following values in the active band:

cation described in Section 7.1 will be registered under the following identifiers1:
FCC Identifier: QIPBGS2 Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-BGS2 Granted to Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating BGS2-W modules are authorized to use the FCC Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the BGS2-W modules for their own final products according to the conditions referenced in these documents. In this case, an FCC/ IC label of the module shall be visible from the outside, or the host device shall bear a second label stating "Contains FCC ID QIPBGS2", and accordingly Contains IC 7830A-BGS2. IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating BGS2-W modules are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate related to the specific portable mobile. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements for por-
table mobiles (see Section 1.3.2 for detail). Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 1. Applies only for the quad band module variant BGS2-W. BGS2_HIO_v01.300 Confidential / Released Page 29 of 29 2011-03-08
