8.2 Compliance with FCC and IC Rules and Regulations
The Equipment Authorization Certification for the Gemalto M2M modules reference application
described in Section 8.1 will be registered under the following identifiers:
•PLS8-X:
FCC Identifier QIPPLS8-X
Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-PLS8X
Granted to Gemalto
M2M GmbH
•P
LS8-V:
FCC Identifier QIPPLS8-V
Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-PLS8V
Granted to Gemalto
M2M GmbH
Manufacturers of mobile or f
ixed devices incorporating PLS8-X/PLS8-V modules are autho-
rized to use the FCC Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the PLS8-X/PLS8-V 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: QIPPLS8-X" or "Contains FCC ID: QIPPLS8-V" and
accordingly “Contains IC: 7830A-PLS8X“ or “Contains IC: 7830A-PLS8V“. The integration is
limited to fixed or mobile categorised 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 9 for FCC and IC.
IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating PLS8-X/PLS8-V 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.
