The Equipment Authorization Certification for the Gemalto M2M modules reference application
described in Section 8.1 will be registered under the following identifiers:
•ALS3-US R4:
FCC Identifier QIPALS3-USR4
Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-ALS3USR4
Granted to Gemalto M2M GmbH
Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating ALS3-US R4 modules are authorized
to use the FCC Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the ALS3-US R4 modules for their
own final products according to the conditions referenced in these documents. In this case, the
FCC label of the module shall be visible from the outside, or the host device shall bear a second
label stating "Contains FCC ID: QIPALS3-USR4" and accordingly “Contains IC: 7830A-
ALS3USR4“. The integration is limited to fixed or mobile categorized host devices, where a
separation distance between the antenna and any person of min. 20cm can be assured during
normal operating conditions.
For mobile and fixed operation configurations the antenna gain, including cable loss, must not
exceed the limits listed in the following Table 10 for FCC and IC.
IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating ALS3-US R4 modules are required to
have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Cer-
tificate related to the specific portable mobile. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements
for portable mobiles (see Section 1.4 for detail).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
