1.0 Safety Precautions
1.1 Important Safety Information
The following information applies to the devices described in this manual. Always observe all
standard and accepted safety precautions and guidelines when handling any electrical device.
Save this manual: it contains important safety information and operating instructions.
Do not expose the Enfora Enabler EDG0208 product to open flames.
Ensure that liquids do not spill into the devices.
Do not attempt to disassemble the product; doing so will void the warranty. With the exception
of the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM), this product does not contain consumer-
serviceable components.
2.0 Regulatory Compliance FCC
2.1 Integration Considerations and Installation Requirements
The Enabler IIE modem is designed for use in a variety of host units, "enabling" the host
platform to perform wireless data communications.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
In order to use the Enabler IIE modem without additional FCC certification approvals,
the installation must meet the following conditions:
Maximum RF output power and antenna gain to meet Maximum Permissible Exposure
Requirements:
GSM850 mode: Maximum antenna gain is 6.5 dBi.
GSM1900 mode: Maximum antenna gain is 3.0 dBi.
If used in an application such as a handheld or body worn device with the antenna less than 20
cm (7.9 in.) from the human body when the device is operating, then the integrator is
responsible for passing additional "as installed" testing and the device will require it’s own FCC
ID and FCC testing.
If used in a "mobile" application where the antenna is normally separated at least 20 cm (7.9
in) from the human body during device operation, then an appropriate warning label must be
placed on the host unit adjacent to the antenna. The label should contain a statement such as
the following:
WARNING
RF exposure. Keep at least 20 cm
(7.9 in) separation distance from
the antenna and the human body.
Host unit user manuals and other documentation must also include appropriate caution and
warning statements and information.

Integration Guide
Draft
EDG0208IG001 Page 2 Rev. 1.03 –4/19/07
If the FCCID for the modem is not visible when installed in the host platform, then a
permanently attached or marked label must be displayed on the host unit referring to the
enclosed modem.
For example, the label should contain wording such as:
Contains GSM/GPRS/EDGE transmitter module
FCC ID: MIVEDG0208
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.
OR
Contains FCC ID: MIVEDG0208
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.
Any antenna used with the modem must be approved by the FCC or as a Class II Permissive
Change (including MPEL or SAR data as applicable). The "professional installation" provision
of FCC Part 15.203 does not apply.
The transmitter and antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter. Violation of this would allow a user to plug another transmitter in to the
product and potentially create an RF exposure condition.
WARNING
The transmitter and antenna must not be collocated
or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. Failure to observe
this warning could produce an RF exposure
condition.
2.2 Disclaimer
The information and instructions contained within this publication comply with all FCC, GCF,
PTCRB, R&TTE, IMEI and other applicable codes that are in effect at the time of publication.
Enfora disclaims all responsibility for any act or omissions, or for breach of law, code or regulation,

Enfora strongly recommends that all installations, hookups, transmissions, etc., be performed by
persons who are experienced in the fields of radio frequency technologies. Enfora acknowledges
that the installation, setup and transmission guidelines contained within this publication are
guidelines, and that each installation may have variables outside of the guidelines contained
herein. Said variables must be taken into consideration when installing or using the product, and
Enfora shall not be responsible for installations or transmissions that fall outside of the parameters
set forth in this publication.

and instructions contained herein.
The Enabler IIE platform is designed with features to
support a robust connection. There are instances
where the module performance is beyond the control
of the intended design. Integrated designs that require
24 by 7 operation must implement power control via an
external circuit or by implementing power management
as specified within this design guide.
