RF exposure requirements for mobile approval

Certain Sierra Wireless embedded modules have been approved for mobile
operations only in accordance to 47 CFR Part 2.1091 (b). The Reference Guide
for your EM model contains the FCC ID Number if approved.

Product labeling requirements

For mobile devices, using the FCC approval obtained by Sierra Wireless, a label
must be attached to the outside of your product- into which the authorized
module is incorporated- with a statement similar to the following:
You will also need to provide a manual with your end product that clearly states
the operating requirements and conditions that must be observed to ensure
compliance with current FCC RF exposure guidelines (as detailed above).
The warnings must appear in a prominent location in the User Guide for your
product and may include the following text:
1 8
Warning: If this module will be used as a portable device, you are
responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements
of 47 CFR Part 2.1093 (b).
To ensure the module meets the current FCC exposure
guidelines, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be
maintained between the module's antenna and the body of the
user and any nearby person at all times and in all applications and
uses. Additionally, in mobile applications, maximum antenna gain
must not exceed 6.0 dBi (or less, depending on actual FCC grant
verbiage) in order to comply with FCC regulations limiting both
maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation.
"This device contains TX FCC ID: N7N-XXXXX"
Note: Sierra Wireless can provide specific FCC ID numbers for
each particular EM that has completed module level certification
testing.
Caution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly
permitted by the manufacturer could void compliance with
regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this device.
Warning (EMI): This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits were designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
