E362 Module Installation and Collocation
Guidelines for Host Devices
1.0 Introduction
This document provides module and antenna installation guidelines for notebook computers to be
authorized for use with the E362 module through a FCC Class I or Class II Permissive Change
process. As the grantee Novatel Wireless is responsible for all integrations and must be
consulted on all regulatory matters involving the E362.
The module was originally granted by the FCC as a mobile device with respect to RF Exposure
compliance. This document outlines what RF Exposure considerations are required when
integrating the E362 into a laptop type device.
The following installation host configurations are addressed in this document.
1) The E362 module can be installed as a standalone transmitter in notebooks meeting the
following conditions:
a. Mobile notebooks where >20cm separation distance is provided between the
E362 transmitting antenna and the end user. The technical parameters for mobile
measurements are defined in Section 2.1.
b. Portable notebooks where ≤20cm separation distance is provided between the
E362 transmitting antenna that meet the technical parameters defined in Section
3.0. Devices require SAR evaluation and consultation by the grantee (Novatel
Wireless) is required.
2) Collocated transmitters that can operate simultaneously with the E362 module is only
allowed if the technical requirements defined in Section 3.0 are satisfied.
3) Should end-user installation be available module/notebook Two-Way Authentication is
required. Please contact Novatel Wireless and section 2.4.1 for additional details.
4) The FCC and Industry Canada IDs must be permanently affixed on the exterior of the
notebook or readily accessible under a panel or battery pack of the host device that
cannot be separated from the host device itself.
The label must state: This device contains FCC ID: PKRNVWE362
5) These installation guidelines are not applicable to non-notebook host devices or
tablet PCs. The installation guidelines are applicable for notebook computers
where the E362 and collocated antennas are located in the display portion of a
notebook computer. SAR evaluation is completed with the display open at a
ninety-degree angle as defined in KDB pub 616217 and Section 4 of KDB pub
447498.

2.0 Module Installation Guidelines
This section defines host installation limitations for mobile and portable hosts.
2.1 Installation Guidelines
2.1.1 Mobile Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance >20cm)
The E362 module can be installed for use in any authenticated mobile host device as long as the
antenna gain of the host antenna does not exceed the gain listed in table 1. (See section 4.0 for
the measurement guidelines of separation between the transmitting antenna and the user.) The
modem must not be collocated with other antennas or transmitters unless the guidelines are
followed within this document. Please section 3 for collocated information.
The maximum E362 conducted power and host antenna gain is listed in Table 1.

CDMA2000 1850 24.50 0.282
UMTS 1850 24.50 0.282
2.1.2 Portable Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance ≤20cm)
The E362 module can be installed for use in a portable host device with the WWAN antenna
limitation. This type of installation requires a Class II permissive change specifically if the
antennas are not documented or if the conditions in section 1, 5) are not met. RF Exposure
compliance is required using KDB pub 447498 or KDB pub 616217 methods. See section 4 to
determine the antenna measurement of the laptop to define the device as ‘portable’.
2.1.4 End User Installation
Two-way authentication documentation is required to be submitted as part of a Class II or Class I
permissive change allowing end-user installation into notebooks that utilize the method of
authentication.
2.1.5 User Instructions
Installers and end user must be provided with specific information to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements for Mobile or portable devices.

3.0 Collocated Installation Guidelines
3.1 Collocated transmitters in mobile applications
Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E362 module in mobile
configurations, provided the technical parameters listed in KDB pub 447498 section 8 are met.
These procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop devices.
These parameters are:
a) Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions and
categorically excluded by § 2.1091(c) can be incorporated in mobile host devices without
further testing or certification when:
i. The closest separation among all simultaneous (radiating) transmitting antennas
is ≥20cm, or
ii. The antenna separation distance and MPE compliance boundary requirements
that enable all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated within the host to
comply with MPE limits are specified in the application filing of at least one of the
certified transmitters incorporated in 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 simultaneous transmitting antennas.
b) All transmitters in the final product must be at least 20cm from users and nearby persons.
For antenna distance instructions please see section 4.0.
3.2 Collocated transmitters in portable applications
When multiple transmitters are being utilized in a portable configuration all possible combinations
of antennas and transmitters needs to be considered with respect to RF Exposure. Detailed
analysis must be considered when evaluating the affects of multiple transmitters in close
proximity to the end user. Any design that provides multiple transmitters in a portable exposure
condition must be evaluated be Novatel Wireless before integrating the E362.

4.0 Individual SAR Evaluation
Portable RF exposure evaluation must be completed evaluated on notebook computers that
provide ≤20.0 cm of separation distance between the WWAN antenna and the end user. This
distance is measured and is required to be maintained with the display orientated at 90 degrees
as illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1-1
Determining Portable Antenna Locations
Mobile Device – The E362 antenna is located at a distance greater than 20cm from the user.
Portable Device - The E362 antenna is located at a distance ≤20cm from the user.
