1 Introduction
1.1 General Description
iSR3500 series is a product line of single-module platform optimized for
ultra low cost GSM/GPRS modem and generic mobile applications. It
integrates all the functions necessary for a dual-band GSM/GPRS wireless
communication, including baseband, mixed signal, power amplifier, power
management, RF transceiver, front-end switch and memory in a single
monolithic module with board-to-board connector
The highly integrated module is ideal for application requiring GSM, and is
capable of working on 2-layer motherboard with no further RF calibration
required.

User’s Information ---- Additional information
Cautions
Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC compliance Information
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must
accept any interference received. Including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Information to User
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:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver- Connect the equipment
into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE: Required Minimum distance between antenna and the user is 20cm.
The FCC requires that a label must be placed on the outside of the final product stating:
“Contains FCC ID: VDQDC3500” depending of the module to be integrated.
