1.3.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM module
must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This
requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable AGS2-W based applications to be
evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international regulations.
Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are
advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For European and US-
markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer
of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives
are in force outside these areas.
Products intended for sale on US markets
ES 59005/ANSI C95.1 Considerations for evaluation of human exposure to Electromagnetic
Fields (EMFs) from Mobile Telecommunication Equipment (MTE) in the
frequency range 30MHz - 6GHz
Products intended for sale on European markets
EN 50360 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with
the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic
fields (300MHz - 3GHz)
IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications based on AGS2-W modules are required to have their
final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate relat-
ed to the specific portable mobile (see also Section 7.2).

1.3.3 Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating AGS2-W. Manufacturers of the
cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating
personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Fail-
ure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and in-
tended use of the product. Cinterion Wireless Modules assumes no liability for customer’s
failure to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of
mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guide-
lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hear-
ing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close
to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufac-
turer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker
patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while
it is on.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it can-
not be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is
forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe
these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the
offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any elec-
trical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while
switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets,
radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations
and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you
suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driv-
ing a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation.
Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or opera-
tion can constitute a safety hazard.
IMPORTANT!
Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks.
Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential com-
munications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone
features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate
those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi-
nal or mobile.

3.1 Operating Modes
The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following
chapters.
Table 7: Overview of operating modes
Normal operation GSM/GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command.
Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was
registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered
and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power sav-
ing can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC
SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The
CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 alternatingly
activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow perma-
nent access to all AT commands.
GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network,
paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send
and receive.
GSM TALK Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power
consumption depends on network coverage individual set-
tings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping
sequences, antenna.
GPRS IDLE Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is cur-
rently sent or received. Power consumption depends on
network settings and GPRS configuration (e.g. multislot set-
tings).
GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption
depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),
uplink/downlink data rates, GPRS configuration (e.g. used
multislot settings) and reduction of maximum output power.
Power Down Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command.
Only a voltage regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active.
Interfaces are not accessible.
Operating voltage (connected to BATT+) remains applied.
Alarm mode Restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in Power
Down mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT
commands is accessible.

4 Antenna Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50. AGS2-W is capable of sustaining a total mismatch
at the antenna lines without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.
The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi-
ated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are
not included on the AGS2-W module and should be placed in the host application if the antenna
does not have an impendance of 50.
Regarding the return loss AGS2-W provides the following values in the active band:

5.2 Operating Temperatures
Please note that the module’s lifetime, i.e., the MTTF (mean time to failure) may be reduced, if
operated outside the extended temperature range. A special URC reports whether the module
enters or leaves the extended temperature range (see [1]; AT^SCTM).
Note that within the specified operating temperature ranges the board temperature may vary
to a great extent depending on operating mode, used frequency band, radio output power and
current supply voltage.
When data are transmitted over GPRS the module automatically reverts to a lower Multislot
Class if the temperature rises to the limit specified for normal operation and, vice versa, returns
to the higher Multislot Class if the temperature is back to normal.

1. Extended operation allows normal mode speech calls or data transmission for limited time until automatic
thermal shutdown takes effect. Within the extended temperature range (outside the normal operating
temperature range) the specified electrical characteristics may be in- or decreased.

7.2 Compliance with FCC and IC Rules and Regulations
The Equipment Authorization Certification for the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference appli-
cation described in Section 7.1 will be registered under the following identifiers:
FCC Identifier: QIPAGS2
Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-AGS2
Granted to Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH
Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating AGS2-W modules are authorized to use
the FCC Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the AGS2-W modules for their own final
products according to the conditions referenced in these documents. In this case, an FCC/ IC
label of the module shall be visible from the outside, or the host device shall bear a second label
stating "Contains FCC ID QIPAGS2", and accordingly “Contains IC 7830A-AGS2“.
The integration is limited to fixed or mobile categorised host devices, where a separation dis-
tance between the antenna and any person of min. 20cm can be assured during normal oper-
ating conditions. For mobile and fixed operation configurations the antenna gain, including
cable loss, must not exceed the limits 7.24 dBi (850 MHz) and 3.30 dBi (1900 MHz). See [3].
IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating AGS2-W modules are required to have
their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate
related to the specific portable mobile. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements for por-
table mobiles (see Section 1.3.2 for detail).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note:
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 protec-
tion 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.
The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that after the module is installed and operational
the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements.
