⚠ Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information: this equipment complies with radiation exposure
limits prescribed for an uncontrolled environment for fixed and mobile use conditions. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the
radiator and the body of the user or nearby persons. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except as authorized in the
certification of the product. The gain of the system antenna(s) used for the modules (i.e. the
combined transmission line, connector, cable losses and radiating element gain) must not exceed
the values stated in the Declaration of Conformity of the modules, for mobile and fixed or mobile
operating configurations:
• SARA-R410M-02B modules:
o 8.2 dBi in 800 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-20 band uplink
o 8.4 dBi in 900 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-8 band uplink
o 11.3 dBi in 1800 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-3 band uplink
• SARA-R410M-83B modules:
o 7.61 dBi in 700 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-28 band uplink
o 8.28 dBi in 800 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-20 band uplink
o 8.53 dBi in 900 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-8 band uplink
