REGULATORY COMPLIANCE 

FCC 

The  modem  was  tested  and  certified  to  meet  FCC  Parts  15  in  a  stand-alone  configuration,  which  demonstrated  that  the 
GSM2338 Nitro complies with Part 15 emission limits. FCC Part 22 & Part 24 is covered by the Enfora Enabler IIIG  “modular 
approval” process for a transmitter. This approach, described by FCC Public Notice DA 00-131407 released June 26, 2000, is 
intended to afford relief to equipment manufactures by eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new equipment authorization 
for the same transmitter when installed in a new device. 

In  order  to  use  the  GSM2338  Nitro  without  additional  FCC  certification  approvals,  the  installation  must  meet  the  following 
conditions: 

For  the  transmitter  to  meet  the  MPE  categorical  exclusion  requirements  of  2.1091,  the  ERP  must  be  less  than  1.5  watts  for 
personnel separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9in). Therefore the maximum antenna gain cannot 3.3dBi. If greater 
than 1.5 watts exists, then additional testing and FCC approval is required. 

R&TTE - 

 

The GSM2338 Nitro modem has been fully tested and complies with all the requirements of EN301 489-1, EN301 489-7 and 
EN60950-1:2002.  Compliance  to  EN301  511  has  been  demonstrated  by  testing  on  both  the  GSM2338  and  the  integrated 
GSM0308 module.
