Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used
in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used
in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or
any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or
received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or
receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress, where explosive
atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment
which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem
MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with
this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on
the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When
operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard
systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door
is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of
a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the
some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an
offence.
Limitations of Liability
warranties of any kind, either expressed or
implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or
noninfringement. The recipient of the manual shall endorse all risks arising from its use.
The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a
commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR
REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS
PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY
THIRD PARTY.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability
arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless product, regardless of the number of events,
occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the
Sierra Wireless product.

1. Introduction
This document aims to provide a guideline for designing applications based on the AirPrime SL
series. Recommendations are provided to maximize the compatibility between the modules when
using different variants of the SL series for the same application from GSM version (SL6xxx) to HSPA
version (SL8xxx), or to CDMA/EVDO version (SL5xxx).

Not Connected
When a pin is marked as not connected, it means that no connection should be
made from the pin to the application board.
Reserved
When a pin is marked as Reserved, it means that no connection should be made
from the module pin to the application board; and that there might be a
connection to the pin from within the module.

The nominal voltage is 3.6V across all SL series variant. However, the SL6087 offers a wider voltage
range as compared to the other SL series embedded modules. Refer to the following table for more
details.

There is a difference between the main antenna port of the SL6087, SL80xx and SL501x. It is recommended to reserve an antenna path selection circuit on
the application design.

Note: Antenna path impedance control (50Ω) is necessary for the layout implementation.
It is recommended to reserve the ESD protection circuit on each antenna port.

4.1.2.2.1.2. Speaker Output Power
The SL6087 and SL808x use different audio amplifiers which results in different output power levels. The difference in the output power level can be easily
compensated using gain control.Refer to the AT Command Reference Guide compatible with the specific SL embedded module for more information.

The SL series embedded modules digital audio interface works in master mode. To make the application compatible with various SL series embedded
modules, the external device which connects to the embedded modules digital audio interface must be compatible operating
clock rates. The following table shows the operating mode details between the SL series embedded modules.

4.1.2.3. JTAG and UART1 Interface
The pins used for UART1 in the SL6087 correspond to the JTAG pins of the SL808x, SL809x and SL501x. To make the SL6087 application compatible with
either HSPA version SL808x/SL809x or EVDO version SL501x, UART1 must not be used. It is recommended to reserve test points for these pins in the
application board for debugging use or for SL6087 firmware upgrade.
In case the UART interface is required, it is suggested to use UART2 of the SL6087 or UART1 of the SL808x/SL809x/SL501x instead. Note that UART2 is
not enabled by default on the SL6087. Software customization is required before the SL6087 is soldered onto the application board. Refer to section 4.1.2.4
UART2 Interface for more information about the UART2 interface of the SL6087.
The following table describes the JTAG pin out of the SL808x, SL809x and SL501x whose pin numbers correspond to the UART1 signals of the SL6087.
