and is not transferable.
During the warranty period applicable to the product hardware, Enfora, at its

determined to have a covered hardware defect, provided that the purchaser first
notifies Enfora of any such defect, furnishes Enfora with a proof of purchase,
requests and obtains a return merchandize authorization (RMA) number from
Enfora, and returns the product, shipping charges prepaid, to Enfora under that
RMA. If, upon reasonable examination of the returned product, Enfora does not
substantiate the defect claimed by purchaser, or determines that the defect is not
covered under this limited warranty, Enfora will not be required to repair or
replace the product, but may instead reship the product to the purchaser, in
which case purchaser shall be responsible for paying Enfora’s usual charges for
unpacking, testing, and repacking the product for reshipment to purchaser.
Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss or damage in transit to any product returned
by purchaser to Enfora, or any returned product not found to be defective or

purchaser’s exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the original purchase price.
Any returned and replaced product, or any product for which Enfora has refunded

1 Introduction

1.7 Regulatory Compliance FCC
1.7.1 FCC
The modem was tested and certified to meet FCC Parts 15 in a stand-alone
configuration, which demonstrated that the GSM1208 SA-G complies with Part
15 emission limits. FCC Part 22 & Part 24 is covered by the Enfora Enabler-IIG
"modular approval" process for a transmitter. This approach, described by FCC
Public Notice DA 00-131407 released June 26, 2000, is intended to afford relief
to equipment manufacturers by eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new
equipment authorization for the same transmitter when installed in a new device.
In order to use the GSM1208 SA-G without additional FCC certification
approvals, the installation must meet the following conditions:
For the transmitter to meet the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of
2.1091, the ERP must be less than 1.5 watts for personnel separation distance of
at least 20 cm (7.9 in). Therefore, the maximum antenna gain cannot exceed
+3.3dBi. If greater than 1.5 watts exists, then additional testing and FCC
approval is required.
1.7.2 R&TTE -
The GSM1208 SA-G modem has been fully tested and complies with all the
requirements of EN301 489-1, EN301 489-7 and EN60950-1:2001. Compliance
to EN301 511 has been demonstrated by testing on both the GSM1208 and the
integrated GSM0108 module.

2 Installation
2.1 Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Card
The SIM, an integral part of any GSM terminal device, is a “smart card” that is
programmed with subscriber information. The user information consists of an
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, which is registered with
the GSM service provider, and an encryption Ki (pronounced “key”). This
information consists of a microprocessor and memory installed on a plastic card.
To install the SIM card into the modem, insert the SIM card in the modem as
shown below in Figure 3.
Note: The SIM is not provided with the SA-EL modem. The SIM must be
obtained from the GSM service provider and must be provisioned by the
operator for data and/or voice. Always take care to protect the SIM: the
GSM terminal will not operate without the SIM installed.
SIM Lock Switch
Figure 3 - Inserting a SIM Card in a SA-EL Module
Note: The SIM lock must be engaged (locked) in order for the SA-EL to
operate properly.

2.2 Connecting the Power Supply
The SA-EL modem obtains power via the USB cable that connects the modem to
your computer.
To supply power to the SA-EL modem, connect the B connector of your USB
cable to the connector (labeled "USB") on the modem. Connect the A connector
of the USB cable to an USB port on your computer. The user supplies the USB
cable.
Note: Make sure the SIM card is inserted prior to connecting the
USB cable to the SA-EL and your computer.
Also, please make sure that the USB drivers are installed before
connecting the SA-EL to your computer. Please see page nine
(9) for instruction.

EDG1228UG001 7 Version 1.00 – 3/30/2006
2.3 Connecting the Antenna
The user is responsible for supplying the GSM antenna for the SA-EL modem.
The antenna must have a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The VSWR must be
less than 2.0:1. System antenna gain should be 0-2 dB for optimum
performance. See section 1.7 Regulatory Compliance FCC.
The SA-EL operates at the 850/900/1800 and 1900 MHz frequency bands. Care
needs to be taken when connecting the antenna since the right type of antenna
will be required for proper operation of the modem. The antenna connector on
the SA-EL modem is SMA Female. The antenna has to be connected to the
connector labeled “Antenna” as shown below in Figure 5.
