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 IIG 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 IIG OEM GPRS modem is designed for use in a variety of host units, "enabling" the
host platform to perform wireless data communications. However, there are certain criteria relative
to integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, handheld or PocketPC, monitor
and control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC
compliance requirements.
In order to use the Enabler IIG 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: Power at antenna port is +33 dBm. The maximum gain is 1.4
dBi. GSM1900 mode: Power at antenna port is 30 dBm. The maximum gain is 7 dBi in order
to meet the requirements of maximum 2 watts EIRP for mobile transmitters. If RF power and/or
antenna gain is desired, a separate FCC certification is required.
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.
If used in a "portable" application such as a handheld 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:
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, with results submitted to the FCC for approval
prior to selling the integrated unit. If unable to meet SAR requirements, then the host unit
must be restricted to "mobile" use (see below).
Unintentional emissions, FCC Part 15; results do not have to be submitted to the FCC
unless requested, although the test provides substantiation for required labeling (see
below).

GSM0128IG001 6 Revision Draft – 9/22/08
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.
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 modem transmitter module
FCC ID: MIVGSM0128
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: MIVGSM0128
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.
Substitute MIVGSM0108 for the quad-band modem label.
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.

!
The Enabler IIG 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.
