Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used
in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used
in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or
any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or
received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or
receive such data.

Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can
never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost.
Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra
Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra
Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could
result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal
injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsibility for
damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using Sierra
Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate you SL5011 modem:





In areas where blasting is in progress
Where explosive atmospheres may be present including refueling points, fuel
depots, and chemical plants
Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be
susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the SL5011 modem
MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the SL5011 modem can transmit
signals that could interfere with this equipment
In an aircraft, the SL5011 modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the
SL5011 modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard
systems and may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the
cellular network. Use of cellular phone in aircraft is illegal in some jurisdictions.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular
telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the
ground and the door is open. The SL5011 modem may be used normally at this
time.
Important Compliance Information for USA OEM
Integrators
The SL5011 modem is granted with a modular approval for mobile applications. Integrators
may use the SL5011 modem in their final products without additional FCC/IC (Industry Canada)
certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, additional FCC/IC approvals must
be obtained.
1. At least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be
maintained at all times.
2. To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobileonly exposure condition must not exceed 5dBi for Cellular band and 4dBi for CDMA
PCS band.
3. The SL5011 modem and the antenna must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna within a host device.

4. The RF signal must be routed on the application board using tracks with a 50
characteristic impedance.
Basically, the characteristic impedance depends on the dielectric, the track width and
the ground plane spacing.
In order to respect this constraint, Sierra Wireless recommends using MicroStrip or
StripLine structure and computing the Tracks width with a simulation tool (like AppCad
shown in the figure below and that is available free of charge at
http://www.agilent.com).
AppCad screenshot for MicroStrip design
If a multi-layered PCB is used, the RF path on the board must not cross any signal
(digital, analog or supply).
If necessary, use StripLine structure and route the digital line(s) "outside" the Fstructure
as shown in the figure below.
50Ω line
LGA pin for ANT
Routing examples
Stripline and Coplanar design requires having a correct ground plane at both sides.
Consequently, it is necessary to add some vias along the RF path.

It is recommended to use Stripline design if the RF path is fairly long (more than 3cm),
since MicroStrip design is not shielded. Consequently, the RF signal (when
transmitting) may interfere with neighboring electronics (AF amplifier, etc.). In the same
way, the neighboring electronics (micro-controllers, etc.) may degrade the reception
performances.
The CDMA connector is intended to be directly connected to a 50 antenna and no
matching is needed.
5. A label must be affixed to the outside of the end product into which the SL5011 modem
is incorporated, with a statement similar to the following:
This device contains FCC ID: N7NSL5011
Contains transmitter module IC: 2417C-SL5011
where 2417C-SL5011 is the module’s certification number.
A user manual with the end product must clearly indicate the operating requirements and
conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC/IC RF exposure
guidelines.
The end product with an embedded SL5011 modem may also need to pass the FCC Part 15
unintentional emission testing requirements and be properly authorized.
Note: If this module is intended for use in a portable device, you are responsible for separate
approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093 and IC RSS-102.
