The review process between the OEM module integrator and the preferred
regulatory test lab is a crucial step in determining the appropriate device
classification, as it is impractical for Sierra Wireless to define all possible
combinations of design features, antennas, physical configurations, and use-
models.
1. Perform a device review with the preferred regulatory test lab to confirm
device classification.
2. Determine the Certification type (Standalone or C2PC from an existing
Modular Grant).
3. If the device classification is:
· Portable: Preferred regulatory test lab to determine if a PBA or KDB is
required.
· Mobile: Preferred regulatory test lab to determine if a PBA is required.
(Note: A PBA or KDB will likely be required for new technologies such as LTE
or WiMAX.)
4. If the device classification is Mobile, confirm the antenna does not violate the
Gain Limits specific to the module grant as specified in
Important compliance
information for North American users on page 60.
5. Outline and execute a test plan with the preferred regulatory test lab.
Testing is likely to include some or all of Parts 15, 22, 24, 27, and either SAR
(for Portable devices) or MPE (for Mobile devices).
6. Follow product labeling requirements as described in Important compliance
information for North American users on page 60. (Ref §2.925)
7. Include the OEM product instruction manual content on page 63 boilerplate
text within the host product’s instruction manual.
Simultaneous transmission evaluation
The MC7750 modem has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous
transmission as the number of possible multi-transmission scenarios for this
device is large. Any simultaneous transmission condition established through
module integration into a customer-specific product
must be evaluated per the
requirements in KDB447498D01(8) and KDB616217D01,D03 (for laptop,
notebook, netbook, and tablet applications).
These requirements include, but are not limited to:
• Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions
can be incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing or certifi
-
cation when:
· The closest separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is
20
cm,
or
· Antenna separation distance and MPE compliance requirements for All
simultaneous transmitting antennas have been specified in the application
filing of at least one of the certified transmitters within the host device. In
addition, when transmitters certified for portable use are incorporated in a
mobile host device, the antenna(s) must be 5
cm from all other simulta-
neous transmitting antennas.
