FCC Regulations:
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 device 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 radiated 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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user s
authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
(1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
(2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
(3) To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the
maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile exposure condition must not exceed:
Standalone Condition:
。 8.0 dBi in 700 MHz Band
。8.0 dBi in 850 MHz Band
。5.0 dBi in 1700 MHz Band
。7.5 dBi in 1900 MHz Band
Assuming collocated with a WLAN transmitter with maximum 27 dBm average EIRP power
。 7.0 dBi in 700 MHz Band
。5.0 dBi in 850 MHz Band
。5.0 dBi in 1700 MHz Band
。7.5 dBi in 1900 MHz Band
Remark: This assumption is not valid if the output power of the collocated WLAN transmitter is higher than 27 dBm.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement
of the end product, which integrates this module. 20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between
the antenna and the users for the host this module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm separation with the
antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency
exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. The end user has to also be informed that any
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required

2.6. SIM interface

The following figures describe the additional logic connection between the M14Q2G and the SIM card.
Figure 5. SIM card circuit (example)
2.7. Control interface (wakeup)
In applications where power consumption is a major factor in performance metrics (such as
battery-operated sensors that are based on IOT/M2M modem solution and also include a third party
host), it is necessary to define a simple interface that will allow both the modem and the host to be able
to enter low power states whenever possible and the other side to wake it up once required.
For example, if the host has no data to transmit nor any other tasks, it may enter some low power state
according to its own capabilities and configurations. If during that period the host is in a low power state
and the modem suddenly receives data, it must wake-up the host.
A similar requirement exists from the other side. For example, if the modem is in a low power state and
suddenly the host must transmit data, it must be able to wake-up the modem.
The interface consists of two signals: One is driven by the host and received by the modem; the other is
driven by the modem and received by the host.
Each side can wake the other side by toggling wakeup signal high and allowing the other side to go to

3.3. Antenna Guidance
The antenna should be 50ohm characteristic impedance with the return loss of better than -10dB
at the operation band. The antenna gain would affect the radiated power and regulator test result.
3.4. Interference and sensitivity
This section includes tips to assist developers in identifying the interference that may affect the M14Q2G
when is it used in systems.
 Interference from other wireless devices
– Harmonics, inter-modulated signal generated from wireless devices that fall in RX ranges of
the M14Q2G, may result in degraded RX performance.
– It is highly recommended to check RX performance of entire systems within the shielding
environment.
 Interference from host interface
– High-speed signal-switching elements in systems can easily couple noise into the module
(Ex.: DDR memory, LCD modules, DC-DC converter).
 Methods to avoid sources of interference

– Antenna location is important; we recommend directing the antenna away from high-speed
switching signals. Furthermore, the trace from the module to the antenna should be as
short as possible and must be shielded by complete grounding.
– The M14Q2G is well shielded; the high-speed elements on a system should have shielding
reserved during the early stages of development.
3.5. Radiated sensitivity measurement
Over-the-air testing can demonstrate the TRX ability of the whole system. Keys elements that affect the
measurement are:
Module ability (refer Specification)
Antenna Gain
System noise source
The OTA performance should be performed in an OTA chamber.
3.6. GNSS external circuit design
One GNSS SAW filter, LNA, and another GNSS SAW filter need to be used between the module and
antenna. in129 GPIO05Pin129 GPI

5.2. Labeling
When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC ID label must be visible through a window on
the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door or cover is easily re-moved. If not, a
second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text:
Co tai s FCC ID: NKRM18Q2
The grantee's FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met

7. Safety Recommendation
Be sure the use of this product is allowed in the country and in the environment required. The use of this
product may be dangerous and must be avoided in the following areas:
 Where it can interfere with other electronic devices in environments such as hospitals, airports,
and aircraft
 Where there is a risk of explosion such as gasoline stations and oil refineries
It is the responsibility of the user to comply with his or her country s regulations and the specific
environmental regulations.
Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty s validity.
We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for a correct wiring of the
product. The product must be supplied with a stabilized voltage source, and the wiring must conform to
the security and fire-prevention regulations.
This product must be handled with care; avoid any contact with the pins because electrostatic discharge
may damage the product. Same caution must be taken regarding the SIM card; carefully check the
instructions for its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM when the product is in power-saving mode.
The system integrator is responsible of the functioning of the final product; therefore, care must be
taken for the external components of the module as well as for project or installation issues—there may
be a risk of disturbing the GSM network or external devices or of having an impact on device security. If
you have any doubts, please refer to the technical documentation and the relevant regulations in force.
Every module must be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The antenna must
be installed with care in order to avoid any interference with other electronic devices.
