  • Page 5 This document provides module and antenna installation guidelines for notebook computers to be authorized for use with the E371 module through the FCC Class I or Class II Permissive Change process. As the grantee Novatel Wireless is responsible for all integrations and must be consulted on all regulatory matters involving the E371.
  • Page 6 5) These installation guidelines are not applicable to non-notebook host devices or tablet PCs. The installation guidelines are applicable for notebook computers where the E371 antennas and collocated antennas are located in the display portion of a notebook computer. SAR evaluation is completed with the display open at a ninety-degree angle as defined in KDB pub 616217 and Section 4 of KDB pub 447498.
  • Page 7 2.1.2 Portable Device Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance ≤20cm or ≥2.5cm) The E371 module can be installed for use in a portable device notebook as a Class I change if the antenna separation distance is ≤20cm or ≥2.5cm. Table 2.0 describes the limitations if there are no collocated transmitters.
  • Page 8 2.1.3 Portable Device Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance ≤2.5cm) The E371 module can be installed for use in a portable device notebook as a Class II change if the antenna separation distance from the user is ≤2.5cm. Table 3.0 describes the limitations if there are no collocated transmitters.

  • Page 10 Novatel Wireless Inc. Version 2.2 3.0 Individual SAR Evaluation Portable RF exposure evaluation has been completed based on SAR measurements on a representative PIFA antenna in a representative notebook computer. Integrations that provided ≥2.5cm of separation distance between the edge of the WWAN antenna and the end user orientated at 90 degrees as illustrated in Figure 1-1 and 1-2 do not require additional SAR testing.

Figures 1-1 and 1-2 are used to illustrate the proper separation distance with different antenna orientations. These illustrations are to be used as a design reference and are not to scale.
  • Page 12 *Based on the original antenna tested with the module. Other devices may be approved as collocated transmitters, provided the technical requirements of FCC KDB 616217 D03 are satisfied. Please contact Novatel Wireless for additional installation instructions. Page 12 of 20...
  • Page 13 Novatel Wireless as part of a Class I permissive change request. The following items are required address simultaneous transmission concerns. These documents will be kept on file at Novatel Wireless to support our Class I claim. A Class II permissive change is required if the technical requirements cannot be met.
  • Page 14 Permissive change 6.1 Mobile Simultaneous Transmission guidelines Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E371 module in mobile configurations, provided the technical parameters listed in KDB pub 447498 section 8 are met. These procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices.
  • Page 15 Table 6 - Based on the WWAN MPE calculations in table 5 this table provides guidance on the collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 700MHz band of the E371. Table 7 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 850MHz band of the E371.

  • Page 17 Pass 6.3 Portable Simultaneous Transmission guidelines Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E371 module in portable configurations. Evaluations of the simultaneous transmitters will be applied against KDB 616217 D03 or KDB 447498 D01. These procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices.
  • Page 18 Novatel Wireless Inc. Version 2.2 6.4 Portable Device Hosts: Sum of Total SAR < SAR Limit A portable collocated transmitter can be operated simultaneously with the WWAN transmitter provided the individual SAR results for the portable collocated transmitter are less than the value specified below based on Section 4)a) of the Supp note for FCC KDB 616217 D03.
