The HL8548 has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Integrators may use the
HL8548 in their final products without additional FCC certification if they meet the following conditions.
Otherwise, additional FCC approvals must be obtained.
1. At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user's body must be
maintained at all times.
2. To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only
exposure condition must not exceed:

3.0 dBi in the cellular band

5.0 dBi in the PCS band
3. The HL8548 may transmit simultaneously with other collocated radio transmitters within a
host device, provided the following conditions are met:

Each collocated radio transmitter has been certified by FCC for mobile application.

At least 20 cm separation distance between the antennas of the collocated transmitters
and the user's body must be maintained at all times.

The output power and antenna gain must not exceed the limits and configurations
stipulated in the following table.
