1 Introduction
The purpose of this guideline is to enable mechanical and electrical installation of the RD-1/RD-2 WWAN module
into a host laptop with the minimum of risk of damage to the module. Possible misuse cases are identified and
mitigation defined. Failure to observe these guidelines at all times during the unpacking, handling and assembly
processes may result in avoidable damage to the module. This document provides the minimum handling
requirements for satisfactory handling.
2 FCC part 15 notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This
device may not cause harmful interference; and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment. Antenna to be used with this equipment should be dipole type with 3 dBi
maximum gain.
NOTE: Modifications not expressly approved by Nokia could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: Required Minimum distance between antenna and the user is 20cm.
The FCC requires that a label must be placed on the outside of the final product stating:
“Contains FCC ID: LJPRD-1” or “Contains FCC ID: LJPRD-2” depending of the module to be integrated.
3 ESD/Static Sensitive Device
The RD-1/RD-2 WWAN module is a static sensitive device. Charges and discharges in excess of ± 1000V may
result in irreparable damage to the module. Ambient relative humidity (RH) should be considered, lower humidity
may result in the possibility for higher electrostatic potentials to accumulate resulting in higher discharges to or from
the module. Consequently operators should take all necessary electrostatic precautions before and during
handling of the module. These include, but are not limited to
The use of grounded wrist straps when handling the module or the packaging
Temporary storage (if required) in ESD approved trays
The use of protective hand and/or finger covering where during the complete unpacking and assembly
process
The use of static protective mats
After removal from protective packaging modules should remain physically isolated from each other.

4 Unpacking
The modules are shipped in either single module clamshell or 100 module trays
4.1 Individual Module Clamshell
Figure 1: Representative* example of individual module Single clamshell with RD-1/RD-2 module
The module should only be removed from the clamshell package directly before insertion into the host laptop. The
packaging is opened by holding the middle tab in between the thumb and forefinger of one hand and gently prising
one of the outer tabs using the other thumb and forefinger. This process should be repeated for the other outer
tab. Once both of the outer tabs have been freed from the centre tab then the packing should be bent back along
the hinge line until flat. Holding one hand out flat the packaging can be place open side down on the palm of the
hand and gentle pressure applied to the back of the package until the module pops out into the palm, the
packaging should then be place to one side. The module should then be held prior to installation in accordance
with the General Handling guidance given in paragraph 5.1
4.2 100 Module Trays

The module should only be removed from the clamshell package directly before insertion into the host laptop.
Before opening the packaging the correct orientation of the package top side must be checked and set from the
package markings. The packaging is opened by placing the thumb in bottom of package bevelled slot, located each
corners in package cover, and gently prising package cover and bottom off using the other thumb. This process
should be repeated for the opposite corner. Once two or more corners from the package coverage have been freed
from the package bottom the cover of the package can be removed. The package cover should be place to one
side. The module is removed from the package by gripping the corner with the PWB hole between the thumb and
forefinger and lifting module gently off from the package. The module should then be held prior to installation in
accordance with the General Handling guidance given in paragraph 4.2
*Figures 1 and 2 are intended to be representative of the packaging discussed and should not be considered as constituting a description of the
actual module(s) and/or packaging delivered.
5 Handling
5.1 General Handling
PCI Express Mini Card circuit boards are significantly thinner than standard PC motherboards. A consequence of
this is that solder joints on the PCI Express Mini Card circuit boards are more susceptible to cracking and damage
resulting from bowing and flexing of the circuit board material during handling. Accordingly the RD-1/RD-2 WWAN
module should be treated with significantly more care to avoid damage.
The module should not be intentionally bent along any axis. When inserting the module into the host PC pressure
should only be applied along the axes and at the points prescribed in this document.
The module should be lightly gripped between the thumb and forefinger of the same hand touching only the edge
areas shown below in red.

6 Installation
Prior to installation into the host laptop the laptop must be grounded and in a completely powered down state with
the battery and any external power supplies removed.
6.1 Insertion into PCI Express Mini Card Connector
The module shall be inserted according to the following steps:
1. Offer the module edge connector up and slide into the female PCI Express Mini Card receptacle such that
both corners of the module contact the respective corners of the receptacle concurrently.
NOTE: Different PCI Express Mini Card connectors may have prescribed insertion angles and these should
be checked prior to offering the module for insertion from the applicable manufacturer’s guidelines.
2. Gently slide the module into the receptacle under resistance is felt.
3. Press gently on the module at the point indicated below until the module is seated and a click is felt from
the retaining latches.
STEP: 1. 2. 3.
