Installation/Integration OEM integrators must follow Sequans installation instructions to provide for and benefit from FCC compliant module integrations and must abide especially by the following:
The maximum antenna gain values (accounting for cable attenuation) to comply with the FCC maximum ERP/EIRP limits and with RF Exposure rules:
The Sequans module integration guidelines must be closely followed. Compliance of host integrations of the module is limited to hosts adaptation designs which are identical to Sequans reference design. Host integrations with adaption designs deviating from Sequans reference design require either class 2 permissive change to this modular approval or a separate host approval with different FCC-ID;
Host integrations with co-located (simultaneously operating) radio transmitters must be evaluated in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter rules and may require either class 2 permissive change to this modular approval or a separate host approval with different FCC-ID, dependent on the result of the evaluation; Inquiry at FCC or a TCB is urgently recommended. Integrations of the module into host products which are intended for portable use, i.e. less than 20cm distance between its radiating structures (antenna) and the body of nearby persons, or which otherwise put additional technical requirements like Hearing Aid compatibility require either class 2 permissive change to this modular approval or a separate host approval with different FCC-ID;
Compliance with Unwanted Emission Limits for Digital Device If the OEM host integration fully complies with the above described reference design and can completely inherit and rest on compliance of the existing modular approval the OEM remains still responsible to show compliance of the overall end-product with the FCC limits for unwanted conducted and radiated emissions from the digital device (unintentional radio) portion of such end-product (commonly addressed as part 15B compliance or similar). GM01Q D PROPRIETARY SEQUANS Communications 4 End-product Labelling FCC-ID The module's FCC-ID must either be visible from the exterior of the host product (e.g. per window) or per electronic display, or shall be displayed on an additional exterior label per the following or similar string:
contains FCC-ID: 2AAGMGM01Q Digital Device - Unwanted Emissions Notice If the end-product falls under part 15 of the FCC rules (it shall display the following user notice on its exterior acc. to part 15.19 (the notice may be printed in the manual in case the host is too small):
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Further Labelling Requirements may apply dependent on the FCC rule parts relevant to the host product. End-product User Instructions / Notices in the Manual At a minimum, end-product users must be provided with the following notices at a prominent location of the product literature furnished with the product:
* Product Modifications Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
* RF Exposure Compliance This equipment complies with FCC radio frequency radiation exposure rules and limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, when installed and operated with minimum distance of 20cm between its radiating structures (antenna) and the body of nearby persons and when not operated simultaneously with other nearby radio-transmitters. Maximum Antenna Gain The user instructions of end-products equipped with standard external antenna connectors for the modular radio transmitter providing the option to connect other antennae than those which may or may not be bundled with the end-product must list the maximum allowed antenna gain values as derived from those given above, accounting for the cable attenuations of the actual installation. Digital Device - Unwanted Emissions Notice If the end-product is or contains a digital device (unintentional radio portions) and is not exempted by its use case (like vehicular use) the following part 15.105 (b) user notice shall be provided at prominent location of the product literature:
GM01Q D PROPRIETARY SEQUANS Communications 4 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
which the receiver is connected. Further User Notices May be required dependent on the FCC rule parts relevant to the host product. Non-allowed User Instructions The end-product user guidance may NOT include instructions about how to install or de-install the module. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Note that the Voh values in the tables below do not apply to GPIOs configured in open drain mode. GPIOs can be individually configured in open drain mode. When in open drain mode they either drive the line to Vol, or leave it floating, to be pulled up by an external pullup resistance. The PCB designer must ensure that the voltage on these pads never exceeds Vih of the IO group to which they belong. Refer to GM01Q Pin List to know the type of IO pad used on every termination. The Minimum values for Iol and Ioh should not be exceeded to guarantee that the logical level are not spoiled for each pad type. The Nominal values for Iol and Ioh represent the nominal values for the pad type. They are provided for information only. The Maximum values for Iol and Ioh represent the maximal values for the pad type. They are provided for information only. By default, during boot time:
The pad defined as GPIO as default function, with BIDIR or BIDIR_WAKE types, are configured as input, output disabled, with no internal pull-up and no internal pull-down. The pads defined as RFDATA as alternate function are configured as input, output disabled, with no internal pull-up and no internal pull-down. Contact Sequans's Support Team for detail on persistent AT Commands availability to change these default behaviors.

GM01Q D PROPRIETARY SEQUANS Communications 21 4.2 UART Interfaces SIGNAL AND PINS UART INTERFACES Figure 4-1 represents the typical implementation for the hardware flow control for UART0, UART1 and UART2. TXD and RXD signals are mandatory. RTS and CTS are strongly recommended. The other signals are optional. GM01Q is designed for use as DCE (Data Communication Equipment). Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections, the DCE device will communicate with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:
Port TXD on Application sends data to the modules TXD signal line. Port RXD on Application receives data from the modules RXD signal line.

PROPRIETARY SEQUANS Communications GM01Q D SIGNAL AND PINS LTE LOW POWER MODE 4.4 LTE Low Power Mode 4.4.1 General Information Important: The GM01Q module is provided with an internal RTC whose supply is VBAT1. As a consequence, VBAT1 should not be removed, in order to keep RTC active. The GM01Q will automatically enter in low-power mode. GM01Q can be woken from low power mode by external sources through:
SIM_DETECT input signal to cope with SIM card insertion or removal into a SIM card connector with built-in hardware detection. The RTS0 input signal whenever data traffic is initiated by the host connected to the module UART0 with hardware flow control; The default configuration to wake-up the module is low level. Two dedicated input signal WAKE0 and WAKE1. They are not configured by default as wake-up source but a persistent AT command can enable them. For instance, WAKE0 or WAKE1 can be used to detect an alarm from an external IC such as a sensor.

Figure 4-5: Digital Bi-Directional IOs in PS-P or Active Mode Behavior in PS-PM In PS-PM the Digital bi-directional IOs are completly powered Off. In PS-PM the Digital bi-directional IOs can be seen as high-impedance from the outside. Table 4-3 shows the Digital bi-directional IOs expected impedance value as seen from the ouside in PS-PM.

Figure 4-6 shows a simplified diagram of the PMU bi-directional wake IOs in PS-P or active mode. Note:
The PMU bi-directional wake IOs output buffer requires the 3.0V power supply to be ON. Figure 4-6: PMU Wake IOs in PS-P or Active Mode GM01Q D PROPRIETARY SEQUANS Communications 26 SIGNAL AND PINS LTE LOW POWER M Behavior in PS-PM. Note:
The PMU bi-directional wake IOs output buffer is disabled in PS-PM. Figure 4-7 shows a simplified diagram of the PMU bi-directional wake IOs in PS-PM. Figure 4-7: PMU Wake IOs in PS-PM Mode In PS-PM, all PMU bi-directional wake IOs are high impedance with ultra low leakage current. This corresponds to a minimum impedance of 180 MOhm at the maximum input supply voltage of 3.6 V. If an event is presented on the wake IO pad and this wake IO has been configured to be sensitive on that event, this will take the system back to Active mode. 27 PROPRIETARY SEQUANS Communications GM01Q D SIGNAL AND PINS LTE LOW POWER MODE Table 4-4 shows the values of the measured leakage current (measurements taken on silicon) for the PMU bi-directional wake IOs.
