GSM/GPRS Modem Information

Wireless telemetry is provided via attachment of the GSM Module
to the FlowHawk monitor. The GSM Module contains a third-
party, R&TTE-CE-certified, commercial GSM/GPRS modem.
Integration of the modem into the GSM Module was performed in
accordance with guidelines set forth in the third party’s Integration
Manual in order to maintain the FCC approval.

Use of the modem, as installed in the GSM Module, is considered a
Mobile wireless application, meaning the module is capable of
being moved between locations. However, it is NOT considered a
Portable device, which indicates it is used in close proximity to a
user’s body (like a handset). Users of the GSM Module must
maintain a distance from the antenna of at least 200 mm (7.87 in)
when the unit is operational.

Users cannot provide their own antennas due to strict limitations on
antenna gains and other variables that may produce a dangerous RF
condition and violate IS and European safety requirements. Only
antennas provided by IETG for use with the GSM Module may be
used.

Compliance with applicable European Directives is demonstrated
through the following marking:

CE 0889

This marking indicates that the Enfora GSM0308 OEM module is
entirely encapsulated to meet IS requirements. The only user-
accessible part of the modem is the SIM card carrier.
