FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action
in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided. During operation, a 20cm separation
distance should be maintained between the antenna, whether extended or retracted, and the
user’s/bystander’s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure FCC RF
exposure compliance.
CAUTION
Change or modification without the express consent of Maxon Electronics Australia Pty. Ltd. voids
the user’s authority to use the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with
instructions, can cause harmful radiation to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful
interference in radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna
Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver

2 GND System reference(ground)
(Note 1) To keep overall performance of the MM-5100 Wireless Modem such as RF and audio, the
power supply should meet some electrical characteristics. For best performance, good supply
regulation is required because the most important characteristic of power supply is supply voltage
stability.
(Note 2) If supply voltage falls below 5.7v, the MM-5100 Wireless Modem will automatically power
down and then restart once voltage increased to 6.0v. The MM-5100 Wireless Modem is protected
against voltage over 36V.
(Note 3) If the over-voltage is continuous, the protection is guaranteed by the fuse.
In cases of transient-voltage or surge current, protection is guaranteed by TVS(Transient Voltage
Suppressor) device.

Multiple service functions (eg: SMS and Data communication) of the MM-5100 Wireless Modem will
be through the TE2 and Rm interface.
“RS-232 Data” port and/or “USB” port are both for data communication however, the Modem can
communicate with only one port at a time. The Modem looks for active connection on power up and
communicates with the connection found. If both connections are active, the USB will be selected.
The USB is a Qualcomm standard that operates under MS-Windows-98SE and MS-Windows2000.

(Note 1) While the Modem is in power save mode, the MM-5100 will power itself down whenever
there is 30 seconds of inactivity on the receiver and transmitter inputs.
The MM-5100 remains powered down until an AT command is received via Host and/or has detected
an incoming call. For exiting power down state, the MODEM needs a dummy AT command to wake-
up from the power down state because the first command will be ignored.
(Note 2) ESD protection for RS-232 signal lines to +/- 15KV.
(Note 3) DM_TXD and DM_RXD signals are used for factory testing purpose.
