4.5 Operating Temperatures
See also Section 4.2.4.1 for information about the NTC for on-board temperature measure-
ment, automatic thermal shutdown and alert messages.
Note that within the specified operating temperature ranges the board temperature may vary
to a great extent depending on operating mode, used frequency band, radio output power and
current supply voltage. Note also the differences and dependencies that usually exist between
board (PCB) temperature and ambient temperature as shown in the following Figure 39. The
possible ambient temperature range depends on the mechanical application design including
the module and the PCB with its size and layout. A thermal solution will have to take these dif-
ferences into account and should therefore be an integral part of application design.

1. Restricted operation allows normal mode data transmissions for limited time until automatic thermal
shutdown takes effect. Within the restricted temperature range (outside the operating temperature
range) the specified electrical characteristics may be in- or decreased.

2. Due to temperature measurement uncertainty, a tolerance on the stated shutdown thresholds may oc-
cur. The possible deviation is in the range of ± 2°C at the overtemperature limit.
