Note: If the antenna connection is shorted or open, the modem will not sustain permanent damage. Rev 1 Dec.17 9 41111980

Product Technical Specification Shielding The module is fully shielded to protect against EMI and must not be removed. Antenna and Cabling When selecting the antenna and cable, it is critical to RF performance to match antenna gain and cable loss. Choosing the Correct Antenna and Cabling When matching antennas and cabling: • The antenna (and associated circuitry) should have a nominal impedance of 50  with a return loss of better than 10 dB across each frequency band of operation. • The system gain value affects both radiated power and regulatory (FCC, IC, CE, etc.) test results. Designing Custom Antennas Consider the following points when designing custom antennas: • A skilled RF engineer should do the development to ensure that the RF performance is maintained. • If both UMTS and CDMA modules will be installed in the same platform, you may want to develop separate antennas for maximum performance. Determining the Antenna’s Location When deciding where to put the antennas: • Antenna location may affect RF performance. Although the module is shielded to prevent interference in most applications, the placement of the antenna is still very important—if the host device is insufficiently shielded, high levels of broadband or spurious noise can degrade the module’s perfor- mance. • Connecting cables between the module and the antenna must have 50  impedance. If the impedance of the module is mismatched, RF performance is reduced significantly. • Antenna cables should be routed, if possible, away from noise sources (switching power supplies, LCD assemblies, etc.). If the cables are near the noise sources, the noise may be coupled into the RF cable and into the antenna. Disabling the Diversity Antenna Use the AT command !RXDEN=0 to disable receive diversity or !RXDEN=1 to enable receive diversity. Rev 1 Dec.17 10 41111980

RF Specifications Note: A diversity antenna is used to improve connection quality and reliability through redundancy. Because two antennas may experience difference interference effects (signal distortion, delay, etc.), when one antenna receives a degraded signal, the other may not be similarly affected. Ground Connection When connecting the module to system ground: • Prevent noise leakage by establishing a very good ground connection to the module through the host connector. • Connect to system ground using the module’s mounting hole. • Minimize ground noise leakage into the RF. Depending on the host board design, noise could potentially be coupled to the module from the host board. This is mainly an issue for host designs that have signals traveling along the length of the module, or circuitry operating at both ends of the module interconnects. Interference and Sensitivity Several interference sources can affect the module’s RF performance (RF desense). Common sources include power supply noise and device- generated RF. RF desense can be addressed through a combination of mitigation techniques (Methods to Mitigate Decreased Rx Performance on page 12) and radiated sensitivity measurement (Radiated Sensitivity Measurement on page 13). Note: The EM7565 is based on ZIF (Zero Intermediate Frequency) technologies. When performing EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) tests, there are no IF (Intermediate Frequency) components from the module to consider. Interference From Other Wireless Devices Wireless devices operating inside the host device can cause interference that affects the module. To determine the most suitable locations for antennas on your host device, evaluate each wireless device’s radio system, considering the following: • Any harmonics, sub-harmonics, or cross-products of signals generated by wireless devices that fall in the module’s Rx range may cause spurious response, resulting in decreased Rx performance. • The Tx power and corresponding broadband noise of other wireless devices may overload or increase the noise floor of the module’s receiver, resulting in Rx desense. The severity of this interference depends on the closeness of the other antennas to the module’s antenna. To determine suitable locations for each wireless device’s antenna, thoroughly evaluate your host device’s design. Rev 1 Dec.17 11 41111980

Product Technical Specification Host-generated RF Interference All electronic computing devices generate RF interference that can negatively affect the receive sensitivity of the module. Proximity of host electronics to the antenna in wireless devices can contribute to decreased Rx performance. Components that are most likely to cause this include: • Microprocessor and memory • Display panel and display drivers • Switching-mode power supplies Device-generated RF Interference The module can cause interference with other devices. Wireless devices such as AirPrime embedded modules transmit in bursts (pulse transients) for set durations (RF burst frequencies). Hearing aids and speakers convert these burst frequencies into audible frequencies, resulting in audible noise. Methods to Mitigate Decreased Rx Performance It is important to investigate sources of localized interference early in the design cycle. To reduce the effect of device-generated RF on Rx performance: • Put the antenna as far as possible from sources of interference. The drawback is that the module may be less convenient to use. • Shield the host device. The module itself is well shielded to avoid external interference. However, the antenna cannot be shielded for obvious reasons. In most instances, it is necessary to employ shielding on the components of the host device (such as the main processor and parallel bus) that have the highest RF emissions. • Filter out unwanted high-order harmonic energy by using discrete filtering on low frequency lines. • Form shielding layers around high-speed clock traces by using multi-layer PCBs. • Route antenna cables away from noise sources. Radiated Spurious Emissions (RSE) When designing an antenna for use with AirPrime embedded modules, the host device with an AirPrime embedded module must satisfy any applicable standards/local regulatory bodies for radiated spurious emission (RSE) for receive-only mode and for transmit mode (transmitter is operating). Note that antenna impedance affects radiated emissions, which must be compared against the conducted 50-ohm emissions baseline. (AirPrime embedded modules meet the 50-ohm conducted emissions requirement.) Rev 1 Dec.17 12 41111980

RF Specifications Radiated Sensitivity Measurement A wireless host device contains many noise sources that contribute to a reduction in Rx performance. To determine the extent of any receiver performance desensitization due to self- generated noise in the host device, over-the-air (OTA) or radiated testing is required. This testing can be performed by Sierra Wireless or you can use your own OTA test chamber for in-house testing. Rev 1 Dec.17 13 41111980

In such areas, the EM7565 module MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the EM7565 module can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Rev 1 Dec.17 14 41111980

Regulatory Compliance and Industry Certifications In an aircraft, the EM7565 module MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the EM7565 module can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Use of a cellular phone in an aircraft is illegal in some jurisdictions. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both. Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The EM7565 module may be used normally at this time. Important Compliance Information for United States and Canada The EM7565 module, upon commercial release, will have been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Integrators may use the EM7565 module in their final products without additional FCC/IC (Industry Canada) certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, additional FCC/IC approvals must be obtained. 1. At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times. 2. To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only exposure condition must not exceed the limits stipulated in Table 4-1 on page 16. 3. The EM7565 module may transmit simultaneously with other collocated radio transmitters within a host device, provided the following conditions are met: · Each collocated radio transmitter has been certified by FCC/IC for mobile application. · At least 20 cm separation distance between the antennas of the collocated transmitters and the user’s body must be maintained at all times. · The radiated power of a collocated transmitter must not exceed the EIRP limit stipulated in Table 4-1 on page 16.

Mobile and portable stations must not have antenna gain exceeding 1 dBi in Band 30. Additionally, both the FCC and IC prohibit the use of external vehicle-mounted antennas for mobile and portable stations in this band. Fixed stations may use antennas with higher gain in Band 30 due to relaxed EIRP limits. EM7565 modules used as fixed subscriber stations in Canada or fixed customer premises equipment (CPE) stations in the United States may have an antenna gain up to 10 dBi in Band 30, however, the use of outdoor antennas or outdoor station installations are prohibited except if professionally installed in locations that are at least 20 meters from roadways or in locations where it can be shown that the ground power level of -44 dBm per 5 MHz in the bands 2305–2315 MHz and 2350–2360 MHz or -55 dBm per 5 MHz in the bands 2315–2320 MHz and 2345–2350 MHz will not be exceeded at the nearest roadway. For the purposes of this notice, a roadway includes a highway, street, avenue, parkway, driveway, square, place, bridge, viaduct or trestle, any part of which is intended for use by the general public for the passage of vehicles. Mobile carriers often have limits on total radiated power (TRP), which requires an efficient antenna. The end product with an embedded module must output sufficient power to meet the TRP requirement but not too much to exceed FCC/IC's EIRP limit. If you need assistance in meeting this requirement, please contact Sierra Wireless. **Important: Airborne operations in LTE Band 48 are prohibited. Rev 1 Dec.17 16 41111980

Regulatory Compliance and Industry Certifications 4. A label must be affixed to the outside of the end product into which the EM7565 module is incorporated, with a statement similar to the following: · This device contains FCC ID: N7NEM75 Contains transmitter module IC: 2417C-EM75 where 2417C-EM75 is the module’s certification number. 5. A user manual with the end product must clearly indicate the operating requirements and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC/IC RF exposure guidelines. The end product with an embedded EM7565 module may also need to pass the FCC Part 15 unintentional emission testing requirements and be properly authorized per FCC Part 15. Note: If this module is intended for use in a portable device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093 and IC RSS-102. Rev 1 Dec.17 17 41111980
