MTQ-LVW3 Device Guide
Selecting Antennas
Select an antenna based on your product and application. Typically, both antennas are the same because either
can be the main receive antenna. However, if the antenna connectors are too close together, use a similar antenna
on a short cable for the second receive only antenna.
Antenna Approvals and Safety Considerations
Note the following:
PTCRB and the carriers conduct antenna diversity tests.
There are no EMC concerns about antenna diversity.
All antennas need to have a minimum flammability rating.
Safety requirements depend on your final product.
Antennas are not approved for outdoor use. Do not extend antennas outside of any building.
Diversity and Power Draw
There are no significant power draw differences.
Important
: You must deploy with two antennas, unless your carrier has authorized you to deploy with one
antenna.
OEM Integration
FCC & IC Information to Consumers
The user manual for the consumer must contain the statements required by the following FCC and IC regulations:
47 C.F.R. 15.19(a)(3), 15.21, 15.105 and RSS-Gen Issue 3, Dec 2010; 7.1.2 and 7.1.3
FCC Grant Notes
The OEM should follow all the grant notes listed below. Otherwise, further testing and device approvals may be
necessary.
FCC Definitions
Portable: (§2.1093)
— A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the
radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
Mobile: (§2.1091)
— A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally
maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.
Actual content pending Grant
:
This device is a mobile device with respect to RF exposure compliance. The
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons, and must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product guidelines. Installers and end-users must be provided with specific
information required to satisfy RF exposure compliance for installations and final host devices. (See note under
Grant Limitations.) Compliance of this device in all final host configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee.
Note:
Host design configurations constituting a device for portable use (<20 cm from human body) require
separate FCC/IC approval.
Note:
Only use antennas approved respectively as listed for the unlicensed radios (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi)
