2.0 Module Installation Guidelines
This section defines host installation limitations for mobile device and portable device hosts.
2.1.1 Mobile Device Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance >20cm)
2.1 Installation Guidelines
The E371 module can be installed for use in any authenticated mobile device notebook as long
as the antenna gain of the host antenna does not exceed the gain listed in table 1. The modem
must not be collocated with other antennas or transmitters unless the guidelines are followed
within this document. Please refer to section 4.0 for collocated information.
The maximum E371 conducted power and host antenna gain is listed in Table 1.

2.1.2 Portable Device Hosts (WWAN to user separation distance
≤
20cm or
≥
2.5cm)
The E371 module can be installed for use in a portable device notebook as a Class I change if
the antenna separation distance is
≤
20cm or
≥
2.5cm. Table 2.0 describes the limitations if there
are no collocated transmitters. For collocated restrictions please see section 4.0.
