For the purpose of determining compliance with current FCC rules addressing human
exposure to radio frequency radiation, the FCC has established the following three
categories of transmitting devices:
!
Portable Devices – devices where the antenna is located within 20 cm (7.87 inches)
of any person, including the user, if applicable. Portable devices operating under the
authority of Part 24 (broadband PCS) are limited to a maximum of 2 W EIRP.
!
Mobile Devices – devices designed to be used in other than fixed locations and
generally such that the antenna is located at a minimum of 20 cm (7.87 inches) from
any person, including the user, if applicable. Mobile devices operating under the
authority of Part 24 (broadband PCS) are limited to a maximum of 2 W EIRP.
!
Fixed devices – devices in which the antenna, either integral to the product or
remotely located, is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily
moved to another location.
OEM Responsibilities for All Products Containing the RM1900-1
In addition to any other regulatory requirements, OEMs and integrators must include or
provide the following information, instructions, warnings and labels with any device or
product into which the Eagle II PCS-1900 GSM transceiver has been incorporated:
Information Description

Operating
Instructions
for ensuring
compliance
with current
FCC guidelines
which limit
human
exposure to
radio frequency
radiation
The OEM must provide an operating/installation manual with the final product which clearly indicates that these
operating conditions and restrictions must be observed at all times to ensure compliance with current FCC
guidelines which limit human exposure to radio frequency radiation.
"
20 cm (7.87 inch) separation distance between the antenna and all persons must be maintained at all
times for all fixed and mobile products and applications
"
Portable devices and applications are prohibited unless such devices and products are specifically
authorized by the FCC
"
Maximum antenna gain is limited to 3 dBi* in mobile products and applications
"
Maximum antenna gain is limited to 7 dBi* in fixed products and applications.
"
Modifications and/or additions to the Eagle PCS-1900 GSM transceiver, including use of antennas with
higher gain than those authorized by the FCC, are prohibited
*dBi = antenna gain in dB relative to an isotropic radiator
Attach the following warning label directly to or
displayed next to the antenna. Furthermore, this
label must be visible to and easily readable by all
persons in the immediate vicinity of the antenna
WARNING
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
separation distance of 20 cm (7.87") or more must
be maintained between this antenna and all
persons.
