E371 Module Installation and Collocation Guidelines for Host Devices Version 2.2 1.0 Introduction This document provides module and antenna installation guidelines for notebook computers to be authorized for use with the E371 module through the FCC Class I or Class II Permissive Change process. As the grantee Novatel Wireless is responsible for all integrations and must be consulted on all regulatory matters involving the E371. The module was originally granted by the FCC as a portable device with respect to RF Exposure compliance. This document outlines what RF Exposure considerations are required when integrating the E371 into a laptop type device for mobile or portable operation. For other basics and details about FCC RF exposure compliance requirements for mobile and portable devices, see FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. The following installation host configurations are addressed in this document. 1) The E371 module can be installed as a standalone transmitter in notebooks meeting the following conditions:
a. Mobile device notebooks where >20cm separation distance is provided between the E371 transmitting antenna and the end user. The technical parameters for mobile measurements are defined in Section 2.1.1. b. Portable device notebooks where the separation distance is <20cm to 2.5cm provided between the E371 transmitting antenna that meet the technical parameters defined in Section 2.1.2. These devices may not require SAR evaluation and are covered by the original FCC/IC application. c. Portable device notebooks where the separation distance is <2.5cm provided between the E371 transmitting antenna that meet the technical parameters defined in Section 2.1.3. Devices require SAR evaluation and consultation by the grantee (Novatel Wireless) is required. Note:
1. Standalone when referenced in this document is defined where a single transmitter is transmitting, as opposed to two or more transmitters transmitting simultaneously. 2. Mobile Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a distance greater than 20cm from the user. 3. Portable Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna is located at a distance less than 20cm from the user. 2) Collocated transmitters that can operate simultaneously with the E371 module is only allowed if the technical requirements defined in Section 4.0 are satisfied. 3) Should end-user installation be available module/notebook Two-Way Authentication is required. Please contact Novatel Wireless for additional details. 4) The FCC and Industry Canada IDs must be permanently affixed on the exterior of the notebook or readily accessible under a panel or battery pack of the host device that cannot be separated from the host device itself. Page 5 of 20 Novatel Wireless Inc. The label must state:
This device contains FCC ID: PKRNVWE371 This device contains IC:3229A-E371 Version 2.2 5) These installation guidelines are not applicable to non-notebook host devices or The installation guidelines are applicable for notebook computers tablet PCs. where the E371 antennas and collocated antennas are located in the display portion of a notebook computer. SAR evaluation is completed with the display open at a ninety-degree angle as defined in KDB pub 616217 and Section 4 of KDB pub 447498. 6) These guidelines do not apply to devices that require power reduction to meet SAR limits. These integrations must be coordinated directly through Novatel Wireless. Page 6 of 20 Novatel Wireless Inc. 2.0 Module Installation Guidelines Version 2.2 This section defines host installation limitations for mobile device and portable device hosts. 2.1 Installation Guidelines 2.1.1 Mobile Device Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance >20cm) The E371 module can be installed for use in any authenticated mobile device notebook as long as the antenna gain of the host antenna does not exceed the gain listed in table 1. The modem must not be collocated with other antennas or transmitters unless the guidelines are followed within this document. Please refer to section 4.0 for collocated information. The maximum E371 conducted power and host antenna gain is listed in Table 1.

Authentication occurs in two methods:
1. Installation Software including list of pre-approved Notebooks and Modules. Software installed on the modem:
a) b) PID/VID identification numbers in Module: Factory Installed c) Module identification numbers in Notebook: Factory Installed 2. Implementation:
When a Module Upgrade Kit is procured the module is available for End-User installation in approved Notebook computers. The connection manager software is run on the Notebook and the Module ID numbers are checked against a pre-determined list of approved ID numbers in the installation software. Both the Notebook and the Module are checked. If either ID does not match, the installation of the Driver is halted and the Module will not work. Moving the Module to other NON approved notebooks will not allow the module to operate. Since the driver will ONLY operate in pre-approved Notebooks with the proper ID and while a properly ID-checked Module is resident, you cannot load the driver for NON-approved Modules or Notebooks. Page 8 of 20 Novatel Wireless Inc. Version 2.2 2.1.5 User Instructions Installers and end user must be provided with specific information regarding FCC RF exposure requirements for Mobile or portable devices. As an example the following text should be provided in the user guide with the regulatory information:
This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF Exposure limits under mobile exposure conditions (antennas are greater than 20cm from a persons body). This device has also been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF exposure limits under portable exposure conditions (antennas are within 20 cm of a person's body) when installed in certain specific configurations. Before this device is made available for sale to the public, it was evaluated to ensure that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. Page 9 of 20 Novatel Wireless Inc. Version 2.2 3.0 Individual SAR Evaluation Portable RF exposure evaluation has been completed based on SAR measurements on a representative PIFA antenna in a representative notebook computer. Integrations that provided 2.5cm of separation distance between the edge of the WWAN antenna and the end user orientated at 90 degrees as illustrated in Figure 1-1 and 1-2 do not require additional SAR testing. The measured SAR value at 2.5cm was 0.374W/kg. As indicated in KDB 447498 section 2 a), i) when SAR values are <0.4W/kg for a conservative exposure measurement the devices can be used in portable host platforms with no restrictions. These instructions are restricted to laptop and notebook type devices. Please refer to section 4.0 for collocation guidelines.

Page 13 of 20 Novatel Wireless Inc. 6.0 Simultaneous RF Exposure Evaluation Guidelines For Collocated Transmitters Allowable through a Class I Permissive change Version 2.2 6.1 Mobile Simultaneous Transmission guidelines Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E371 module in mobile configurations, provided the technical parameters listed in KDB pub 447498 section 8 are met. These procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices. These parameters are:
a) Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions and categorically excluded by 2.1091(c) can be incorporated in mobile device notebooks without further testing or certification when:
i. The closest separation among all simultaneous (radiating) transmitting antennas is 20cm, or ii. The antenna separation distance and MPE compliance boundary requirements that enable all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated within the host to comply with MPE limits are specified in the application filing of at least one of the certified transmitters incorporated in the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for portable use are incorporated in a mobile device notebook the antenna(s) must be 5 cm from all other simultaneous transmitting antennas. b) All transmitters in the final product must be at least 20cm from users and nearby persons. 6.2 Mobile Hosts calculations through power density calculations This section can be used to select WWAN transmitters and antennas for use in Mobile device configurations. Simultaneous transmitters must be selected to ensure that the compliance evaluation will not result in issues with the WWAN transmitters or antennas. The following tables provide guidance on maximum recommended gain and conducted powers of WLAN transmitters. Per OET 65, when RF sources have different frequencies, the fraction of the FCC power density limit shall be determined and the sum of all fractional components shall be less than 1. The fractional MPE calculation is also addressed in FCC KDB 616217 D03 (Simultaneous Transmission Considerations). Page 14 of 20 Novatel Wireless Inc. Version 2.2 These tables are for reference only and are to be used as a guide. Table 5 The power density calculations for standalone transmitters at an exposure separation distance of 20 cm are shown in table 5 with the declared transmit power and antenna gain values. The calculations are based on a cable loss of 0 dBi. The collocated transmitter values represent worst-case transmit power and antenna gains allowable for use with the E371 WWAN module. For frequency dependent limits, the lowest transmitter frequency was used to represent the lowest MPE limit (e.g. 706.5MHz = 0.4717mW/cm2). The WLAN power levels listed represent the worst-case values for the corresponding frequency ranges. Table 6 - Based on the WWAN MPE calculations in table 5 this table provides guidance on the collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 700MHz band of the E371. Table 7 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 850MHz band of the E371. Table 8 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 1700MHz band of the E371. Table 9 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 1900MHz band of the E371.

Evaluations of the simultaneous transmitters will be applied against KDB 616217 D03 or KDB 447498 D01. These procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices. To reduce the possibility of SAR testing of simultaneous transmitters the following steps should be applied:
1. Antennas that are located < 5 cm from persons ii. i. Keep the closest antenna separation distance 5 cm for all simultaneous transmitting antennas within the host or device; and If available calculate the sum of the 1-g SAR to ensure it is < 1.6 W/kg for all simultaneous transmitting antennas that require stand-alone SAR evaluation; and iii. The output power is 60/f(GHz) mW for any simultaneous transmitting antenna(s) for which stand-alone SAR evaluation is not required. 2.
