Like cell phones, using the Gobi2000 platform in an aircraft is illegal in some jurisdictions.If cell phone usage is permitted while the aircraft is on the ground, normal Gobi2000 operation is also permitted.2.2.2 North American complianceThe Gobi2000 platform has been authorized for mobile operation in North America. The initial authorization grant does not permit end-user installation.A permissive change will be submitted to add end-user installation and/or portable usage conditions. The permissive change application includes detailed information on Gobi2000’s two-way authentication procedure, preventing use of the module in unauthorized notebooks.For mobile applications, the following conditions must be met:1. Maintain at least a 20 cm separation between the antenna and the user’s body.2. Radiated transmit power must be equal to or lower than that specified in the FCC Grant of Equipment Authorization for FCC ID: J9CGOBI2000.3. To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, maximum antenna gain (including cable loss) must not exceed:Cellular band < 7.5 dBiPCS band < 3.5 dBi4. Independent Gobi2000 operation — the Gobi2000 platform must not be colocated or jointly operated with any other transmitter or antenna within the host device.

Installation of the Gobi2000 module into a host device can only be completed by authorized personnel unless the FCC certification addresses FCC host/module authentication requirements.6. A label with the following statements must be attached to the host end product:This device contains Tx FCC ID: J9CGOBI2000This equipment contains equipment certified under IC: 2723A-GOBI2000Other regional required regulatory markings7. The host end product must include a user manual that clearly defines operating requirements and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC/IC RF exposure guidelines.8. The host end product must also pass the FCC Part 15 unintentional emission testing requirement and be properly authorized per FCC Part 15.For portable devices, in addition to conditions 3 through 6 described above, a separate approval is required to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093 and IC RSS-102.
