For European Community Users 0

The manufacturer complies with Directive 2002/96/EC of The European Parliament, and of

The Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment 0

CAUTION:

This device requires the extraction and use of natural resources for its production.

It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the

environment, if not properly disposed.

In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to

diminish the pressure on the natural resources, it is encouraged to use the

appropriate procedures for product disposal. Those procedures will reuse or

recycle most of the materials of the product being disposed of.

The crossed out wheeled bin symbol indicates the product should not be

disposed of along with municipal waste and encourages the appropriate

procedure for device disposal.

If more information is needed on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems,

contact the local or regional waste administration.

Electrically Powered Devices 0

Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. Pacemakers and

hearing aids are considered electrically powered devices.This standard requires devices to

operate properly in an EM Field with a strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to

1000MHz. The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the Dolphin 6000 device is

0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. The RF from the Dolphin 6000

device has no effect on medical devices that meet the IEC specification.

Microwaves 0

The radio in the Dolphin 6000 RF device operates on the same frequency band as a

microwave oven. If a microwave is used within range of the Dolphin 6000 RF device, a

performance degradation in the wireless network may be noticeable. The microwave and

wireless network will continue to function.

Overview 0

The Dolphin 6000 device is designed with an integrated, embedded GSM/GPRS/EDGE

penta-band radio module for WWAN communication.

Requirements 0

Using GSM/GPRS/EDGE requires:

Network subscription to a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network (must know what service providers are in

the area)

An installed SIM card that has been activated by the network service provider (see SIM Card

Installation on page 9-2).

GSM Global System for Mobile communications, GSM is an open, non-proprietary

wireless WAN system.

GPRS General Packet Radio Service, GPRS is a non-voice service that allows

packet-switched data to be instantly sent and received across mobile telephone

networks.

EDGE E-GPRS is a non-voice service that allows packet-switched data to be instantly

sent and received across mobile telephone networks at a higher data rate than

standard GPRS.

Working with GPS 11-1

Working with GPS

Overview 0

The Dolphin 6000 uses a MT3326, a high performance single chip, single die host-based

GPS solution that has an on-chip CMOS RF and digital baseband. The MT3326 meets the

industry s highest levels of sensitivity, accuracy, and Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF) with lowest

power consumption in a small-footprint lead-free package. Its small footprint and minimal

accessory gives important reductions in the design, manufacturing and testing resources

needed for navigation devices and handsets.

With an on-chip integrated LNA, the MT3326 has a total receiver noise figure of 4 dB (before

ADC). With its on-chip image-rejection mixer, the spec of an external SAW filter is decreased.

With an on-chip automatic center frequency calibration band pass filter, an external filter is not

needed. The integrated PLL with Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) gives excellent phase

noise performance and fast locking time.

The MT3326 supports up to 210 PRN channels. With 66 search channels and 22

simultaneous tracking channels, the MT3326 finds and tracks satellites in the shortest time,

even at indoor signal levels. The MT3326 supports various location and navigation

applications, including GPS, SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, MSAS), DPGS (RTCM), and

AGPS.

The on-chip power management design makes the MT3326 easily included into the system

without an extra voltage regulator. With its linear regulator embedded, the MT3326 gives the

user plenty of choices for an application circuit.

Through the MT3326 s excellent low power consumption properties (acquisition 50mW,

tracking 38mW), power sensitive devices, especially embedded systems, do not have to

worry about operating time.

With MT3326 s powerful interface, a host system can communicate with the MT3326

efficiently through UART and SPI at baud rates as fast as 921600 bps, which saves the host

CPU processing time.

From a system design view, if a host system already has TCXO or RTC, the MT3326 can

share these sources with a host system and this will save system BOM costs and system

PCB area.

based on the communication cable. ActiveSync will usually set up a USB connection if using

a USB cable to connect to workstation. ActiveSync will normally set up a RS232 connection if

using a RS232 cable.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless

Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT

Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act

of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of

the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with

hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids

and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing

devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the

amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating

system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with

their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating

on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary

depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be

vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the

phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two

ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a

hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

Dolphin 6000 complies with the FCC’s requirements, and the M rating in this mode is M3 and the T

rating in this mode is T3.

Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating.

Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing

aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable

for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use.

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the

M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with

“normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in

this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.

This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the

U mark.
