The GSM Socket Modem is approved as a host-independent modem module. To
maintain type approvals, permits and/or licenses valid, the guidelines described in this
document must be followed.
7.1 Considerations for Regulatory Approvals
The AL7020S Socket Modem has been assessed and has been found to comply with
the following regulatory approvals:
- FCC
- DOC
- PTCRB
- R&TTE
- EMC
- GCF
7.1.1 Regulatory Requirements
The Federal Communications Commission (FEC) requires application for certification
of digital devices in accordance with CFR Title 47, Part 2 and Part 15. This includes
Electromagnetic Energy Exposure (EME) testing. As the AL7020S modem is not a
standalone transceiver but is an integrated module, the AL7020S cannot be tested by
itself for EME certification. It is, however, the integrator’s responsibility to have the
completed device tested for EME certification.
7.1.2 Regulatory Statement
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation,
usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating the AL7020S
module. 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.
Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design,
manufacture and intended use of the product. Altec assumes no liability for customer
failure to comply with these precautions.
1. The AL7020S must be operated at the voltages described in the technical
documentation.
2. The AL7020S must not be mechanically nor electrically changed. Use of
connectors should follow the guidance of the technical documentation.
3. The AL7020S is designed the meet the EMC requirements of ETS 300 342.
4. When integrating the AL7020S into a system, Altec recommends testing the
system to ETS300342-1.
4. The AL7020S meets the safety requirements of EN60950.
5. Systems using the AL7020S are subject to mandatory EMC testing under directive
89/336/EEC (see item 3 above). Other directives, such as the LVD directive
73/23/EE, may also apply to a system using the AL7020S module.
