⚠ The gain of the system antenna(s) used for the SARA-R5 series modules (i.e. the combined
transmission line, connector, cable losses and radiating element gain) must not exceed the value
specified in the FCC Grant for mobile and fixed or mobile operating configurations:
o 7.8 dBi in 700 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-12 band
o 9.2 dBi in 750 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-13 band
o 9.4 dBi in 850 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-5 band
o 7.4 dBi in 850 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-26 band
o 6.8 dBi in 1700 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-4 band
o 10.3 dBi in 1900 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-2 band
o 10.4 dBi in 1900 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-25 band
4.2.3 Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that
are not expressly approved by u-blox could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
⚠ Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating SARA-R5 series modules are authorized to
use the FCC Grants of the SARA-R5 series modules for their own final host products according to
the conditions referenced in the certificates.
⚠ Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating SARA-R5 series modules are authorized to
use the FCC Grants of the SARA-R5 series modules for their own final host products if, as per FCC
KDB 996369, the antenna trace design implemented on the host PCB is electrically equivalent to
the antenna trace design implemented on the u-blox host PCB used for regulatory type approvals
of the SARA-R5 series modules, described in details in section 2.4.2.3.
⚠ In case of antenna trace design change, an FCC Class II Permissive Change application is required
to be filed by the grantee, or the host manufacturer can take responsibility through the change in
FCC ID (new application) procedure followed by an FCC Class II Permissive Change application.
⚠ If the FCC Grants of the SARA-R5 series modules can be used for the final host product, as the
conditions above are met, 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: XPYUBX19KM01"
⚠ IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating the SARA-R5 series modules
are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant related to the
specific portable device. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements for portable devices.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
⚠ Additional Note: as per 47 CFR 15.105 this equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
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. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
o Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
o Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
o Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected
o Consultant the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
