E371 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 E371 module through the 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 E371.
The module was originally granted by the FCC as a portable device with respect to RF Exposure
compliance. This document outlines what RF Exposure considerations are required when
integrating the E371 into a laptop type device for mobile or portable operation.
For other basics and details about FCC RF exposure compliance requirements for mobile and
portable devices, see FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
The following installation host configurations are addressed in this document.
1) The E371 module can be installed as a standalone transmitter in notebooks meeting the
following conditions:
a. Mobile device notebooks where >20cm separation distance is provided between
the E371 transmitting antenna and the end user. The technical parameters for
mobile measurements are defined in Section 2.1.1.
b. Portable device notebooks where the separation distance is <20cm to ≥2.5cm
provided between the E371 transmitting antenna that meet the technical
parameters defined in Section 2.1.2. These devices may not require SAR
evaluation and are covered by the original FCC/IC application.
c. Portable device notebooks where the separation distance is <2.5cm provided
between the E371 transmitting antenna that meet the technical parameters
defined in Section 2.1.3. Devices require SAR evaluation and consultation by the
grantee (Novatel Wireless) is required.
Note:
1. “Standalone” when referenced in this document is defined where a single transmitter
is transmitting, as opposed to two or more transmitters transmitting simultaneously.
2. Mobile Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a
distance greater than ≥20cm from the user.
3. Portable Device Definition - FCC defines as a transmitting antenna is located at a
distance less than ≤20cm from the user.
2) Collocated transmitters that can operate simultaneously with the E371 module is only
allowed if the technical requirements defined in Section 4.0 are satisfied.
3) Should end-user installation be available module/notebook Two-Way Authentication is
required. Please contact Novatel Wireless 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.

Version 2.2
The label must state:
• This device contains FCC ID: PKRNVWE371
• This device contains IC:3229A-E371
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 E371 antennas 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.
6) These guidelines do not apply to devices that require power reduction to meet SAR
limits. These integrations must be coordinated directly through Novatel Wireless.

2.1.4 End User Installation
Two-way authentication documentation has been submitted as part of a Class II permissive
change allowing end-user installation into notebooks that utilize the method of authentication.
Authentication occurs in two methods:
1.
Software installed on the modem:
a) Installation Software including list of pre-approved Notebooks and Modules.
b) PID/VID identification numbers in Module: Factory Installed
c) Module identification numbers in Notebook: Factory Installed
2. Implementation:
When a Module Upgrade Kit is procured the module is available for End-User installation
in approved Notebook computers.
The connection manager software is run on the Notebook and the Module ID numbers
are checked against a pre-determined list of approved ID numbers in the installation
software. Both the Notebook and the Module are checked. If either ID does not match,
the installation of the Driver is halted and the Module will not work.
Moving the Module to other NON approved notebooks will not allow the module to
operate. Since the driver will ONLY operate in pre-approved Notebooks with the proper
ID and while a properly ID-checked Module is resident, you cannot load the driver for
NON-approved Modules or Notebooks.

2.1.5 User Instructions
Installers and end user must be provided with specific information regarding FCC RF exposure
requirements for Mobile or portable devices.
As an example the following text should be provided in the user guide with the regulatory
information:
This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF Exposure limits under
mobile exposure conditions (antennas are greater than 20cm from a person’s body). This device
has also been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF exposure limits under portable
exposure conditions (antennas are within 20 cm of a person's body) when installed in certain
specific configurations.
Before this device is made available for sale to the public, it was evaluated to ensure that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.

Version 2.2
3.0 Individual SAR Evaluation
Portable RF exposure evaluation has been completed based on SAR measurements on a
representative PIFA antenna in a representative notebook computer. Integrations that provided
≥2.5cm of separation distance between the edge of the WWAN antenna and the end user
orientated at 90 degrees as illustrated in Figure 1-1 and 1-2 do not require additional SAR testing.
The measured SAR value at 2.5cm was 0.374W/kg.
As indicated in KDB 447498 section 2 a), i) when SAR values are <0.4W/kg for a conservative
exposure measurement the devices can be used in portable host platforms with no restrictions.
These instructions are restricted to laptop and notebook type devices. Please refer to section 4.0
for collocation guidelines.

6.0 Simultaneous RF Exposure Evaluation Guidelines
For Collocated Transmitters Allowable through a Class I
Permissive change
6.1 Mobile Simultaneous Transmission guidelines
Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E371 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 device notebooks
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 device
notebook 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.
6.2 Mobile Hosts calculations through power density calculations
This section can be used to select WWAN transmitters and antennas for use in Mobile device
configurations. Simultaneous transmitters must be selected to ensure that the compliance
evaluation will not result in issues with the WWAN transmitters or antennas.
The following tables provide guidance on maximum recommended gain and conducted powers of
WLAN transmitters.
Per OET 65, when RF sources have different frequencies, the fraction of the FCC power density
limit shall be determined and the sum of all fractional components shall be less than 1. The
fractional MPE calculation is also addressed in FCC KDB 616217 D03 (Simultaneous
Transmission Considerations).
Page 14 of 20
Novatel Wireless Inc.
Version 2.2
These tables are for reference only and are to be used as a guide.
Table 5 – The power density calculations for standalone transmitters at an exposure separation
distance of 20 cm are shown in table 5 with the declared transmit power and antenna gain values.
The calculations are based on a cable loss of 0 dBi. The collocated transmitter values represent
worst-case transmit power and antenna gains allowable for use with the E371 WWAN module.
For frequency dependent limits, the lowest transmitter frequency was used to represent the
lowest MPE limit (e.g. 706.5MHz = 0.4717mW/cm ). The WLAN power levels listed represent the
worst-case values for the corresponding frequency ranges.
Table 6 - Based on the WWAN MPE calculations in table 5 this table provides guidance on the
collocated power density with the various WWAN modems in the 700MHz band of the E371.
Table 7 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated
power density with the various WWAN modems in the 850MHz band of the E371.
Table 8 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated
power density with the various WWAN modems in the 1700MHz band of the E371.
Table 9 - Based on the references in table 5, this table provides guidance on the collocated
power density with the various WWAN modems in the 1900MHz band of the E371.

6.3 Portable Simultaneous Transmission guidelines
Collocated transmitters can be operated simultaneously with the E371 module in portable
configurations. Evaluations of the simultaneous transmitters will be applied against KDB 616217
D03 or KDB 447498 D01. These procedures apply to antennas in the display screen for laptop
devices.
To reduce the possibility of SAR testing of simultaneous transmitters the following steps should
be applied:
1.
Antennas that are located < 5 cm from persons
i. Keep the closest antenna separation distance ≥ 5 cm for all simultaneous
transmitting antennas within the host or device; and
ii.
If available calculate the sum of the 1-g SAR to ensure it is < 1.6 W/kg for all
simultaneous transmitting antennas that require stand-alone SAR evaluation; and
iii. The output power is ≤ 60/f(GHz) mW for any simultaneous transmitting antenna(s)
for which stand-alone SAR evaluation is not required.
2. Antennas that are located ≥ 5 cm from persons may require additional review and
consultation by the FCC.
The operating and installation requirements, including restrictions, must be provided for OEM
integrators and end users to comply with simultaneous transmission SAR requirements.

6.4 Portable Device Hosts: Sum of Total SAR < SAR Limit
A portable collocated transmitter can be operated simultaneously with the WWAN transmitter
provided the individual SAR results for the portable collocated transmitter are less than the value
specified below based on Section 4)a) of the Supp note for FCC KDB 616217 D03. The
maximum individual SAR value is based on the worst case SAR recorded on the external
antenna at 2.5cm (0.374 W/kg).
SARcollocated ≤ 1.6 − 0.374W / kg
SARcollocated ≤ 1.226W / kg
6.5 Portable Device Hosts Sum of WWAN SAR + Collocated MPE <1
(Mobile Collocated transmitter with a portable transmitter)
For mobile collocated transmitters operating greater than 1 GHz, mobile collocated transmitter
can be operated simultaneously with the portable WWAN transmitter, provided the individual
MPE results for the mobile collocated transmitter are less than the value specified below based
on Section 4)a) of FCC KDB 616217 D03. The maximum individual SAR value is based on the
worst case SAR recorded on the test antenna at 2.5cm (0.374 W/kg).

6.6 Portable Device Hosts Max Collocated SAR Vs. Distance
If the summation of SAR exceeds the FCC limit, collocation is permitted through a Class I
permissive change provided the minimum allowable separation distance derived from the
equation below is satisfied. An alternate equation provides the maximum collocated SAR based
on a specified separation distance. In addition, the sum of the highest MPE must be less than the
corresponding MPE limit as defined in section 4. B) ii) of FCC KDB 616217 D03.
