1.4 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 HC25 based applications to be evalu-
ated 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 C95.1Considerations 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 HC25 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. See also Section 7.2.

1.5 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 HC25. 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
intended use of the product. Siemens AG 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 hearing
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 electri-
cal 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.

4 Antenna Interface

s
HC25_HO_v00.220 Page 17 of 39 2007-03-20
Confidential / Preliminary
4 Antenna Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50Ω. HC25 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at
the antenna connector or pad 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, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression.
Antenna matching networks are not included on the HC25 PCB and should be placed in the
host application.
Regarding the return loss HC25 provides the following values in the active band:
The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. This
is necessary because the antenna connector is DC coupled to ground via an inductor for ESD
protection.
Note: The antenna must be isolated for ESD protection (to withstand a voltage resistance up
to 8kV air discharge).
4.1 Antenna Installation
To suit the physical design of individual applications HC25 offers two alternative approaches
to connecting the antenna:
• Recommended approach: U.FL-R-SMT antenna connector from Hirose assembled on the
top side of the PCB. See Section 4.3 for connector details.
• Antenna pad and grounding plane placed on the bottom side. See Section 4.2.
The U.FL-R-SMT connector has been chosen as antenna reference point (ARP) for the Sie-
mens reference equipment submitted to type approve HC25. All RF data specified throughout

IMPORTANT: Both solutions can only be applied alternatively. This means, whenever an
antenna is plugged to the Hirose connector, the pad must not be used. Vice versa, if the
antenna is connected to the pad, then the Hirose connector must be left empty.

No matter which option you choose, ensure that the antenna pad does not come into contact
with the holding device or any other components of the host application. It needs to be sur-
rounded by a restricted area filled with air, which must also be reserved 1.4mm in height.
Figure 1: Restricted area around antenna pad (side and bottom view)
4.2 Antenna Pad
The antenna can be attached via contact springs.
If you decide to use the antenna pad take into account that the pad has not been intended as
antenna reference point (ARP) for the Siemens HC25 type approval. The antenna pad is pro-
vided only as an alternative option which can be used, for example, if the recommended Hirose
connection does not fit into your antenna design.
Also, consider that according to the GSM recommendations TS 45.005 and TS 51.010-01 a
50Ω connector is mandatory for type approval measurements. This requires GSM devices with
an integral antenna to be temporarily equipped with a suitable connector or a low loss RF cable
with adapter.

5.2 Operating Temperatures
The values stated below are in compliance with GSM recommendation TS 51.010-01.
Table 11 shows the temperatures for automatic shutdown as measured by the on-board mea-
suring element NTC. The maximum allowable ambient temperature that causes the module to
shut down depends on various conditions. The following tables Table 12 and Table 13 show
sample lab environment conditions. Please be aware that the operating duration and the max-
imum ambient temperature will vary significantly for your application.
Note: Generally it is strongly recommended to implement additional measures to lead the heat
out of the application, especially at maximum transmission power levels of WCDMA (24dBm),
e.g. use of ground area for a heat sink or convection (see Section 6.1 for the ground area that
may be used for a heat sink).

6.2 Mounting HC25 to the Application Platform
There are many ways to properly install HC25 in the host device. An efficient approach is to
mount the HC25 PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis.
Fasteners can be M2 screws plus suitable washers, circuit board spacers, or customized
screws, clamps, or brackets. In addition, the board-to-board connection can also be utilized to
achieve better support. To help you find appropriate spacers a list of selected screws and dis-
tance sleeves for 3mm stacking height can be found in Section 8.2.
When using the holes the screws can be inserted from top or bottom.
For proper grounding it is strongly recommended to use the large ground plane on the bottom
of board in addition to the five GND pins of the board-to-board connector. The ground plane
may also be used to attach cooling elements, e.g. a heat sink or thermally conductive tape.
Please take care that attached cooling elements do not touch the antenna pads on the mod-
ule’s bottom side, as this may lead a short-circuit.
To prevent mechanical damage, be careful not to force, bend or twist the module. Be sure it is
positioned flat against the host device (see also Section 8.3 with mounting advice sheet).
6.3 Board-to-Board Application Connector
This section provides specifications for the 50-pin board-to-board (B2B) connector used to con-
nect HC25 to the host application.
For the module’s external interface the following connector series has been chosen:

Height: 3.0 – 5.0 mm
For Hirose sales contacts see Chapter 8.
Note: There is no inverse polarity protection for the board-to-board connector. It is therefore
very important that the board-to-board connector is connected correctly to the host application,
i.e., pin1 must be connected to pin1, pin2 to pin 2, etc. Pin assignments are listed in Section
5.5, pin locations are shown in Figure 6.
