Environmental Specifications
Operating Temperature
The M6e module may be considered as a single electronic component. It is designed so that all the internal
components have safe margins to their thermal limits when the heat spreading plate (bottom, non-labeled
side) does not exceed 70°C. The heat spreading plate temperature must not exceed 70° C. Heat sinking
will be required for high duty cycle applications.
When heat spreading plate reaches 70°C, the RF Shield (top, antenna connector side) may exceed 70°C,
which is acceptable.

1
Power consumption is defined for TTL RS232 operation. Power consumption may vary if the USB interface is con-
nected.
2
Power consumption is defined for operation into a 17dB return loss load or better. Power consumption may
increase, up to 8.2W, during operation into return losses worse than 17dB and high ambient temperatures.
