The FCC ID/IC ID can be used only when all FCC/IC compliance requirements are met. Antenna Installation (1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, (2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. (3) Only antennas of the same type and with equal or less gains as shown below may be used with this module. Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may require additional authorization for operation.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body. Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations: Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements ISED établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.
NOTE IMPORTANTE: Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut pas être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte au Canada.

FM150 module uses PCIe interface, according to the PCIe specification, the PCIe Vmain should be used as the +3.3V power source, not the Vaux. The Vaux is the PCIe backup power source and it is not sufficient as the power supply. In addition, the external DC/DC power supply should not be used, because the external power cannot control the module status through the PCIe protocol. 3.2.1 Power Supply The FM150 module should be powered through the VCC pins, with the continuous current ability of above 2.

By sending AT+CPWROFF=0 command, the module will start the finalization process (the reverse process of initialization), and it will be completed after tsd time (tsd is the time which AP receive OK of “AT+CPWROFF=0”, if there is no response, max tsd is 5s). In the finalization process, the module will save the network, SIM card and some other parameters from memory, do the logout, then clear the memory and shut down PMU.

Active low, open drain output and should add external pull up on platform. 3.4.1.
It shall avoid the discontinuous reference ground, such as segment and space; When the differential signal lines go through different layers, the via hole of grounding signal should be close to that of signal, and generally, each pair of signals require 1-3 grounding signal via holes and the lines shall never cross the segment of plane; Try to avoid bended lines and avoid introducing common-mode noise in the system, which will influence the signal integrity and EMI of difference pair.
Figure 3-14 Length Match Design of PCIe Difference Pair 3.4.2 USB Interface The FM150 module supports USB2.0 which is compatible with USB High-Speed (480 Mbit/s) and USB Full-Speed (12 Mbit/s).It supports USB3.1 Gen2 using for 5G high speed data throughput at the same time. For the USB timing and electrical specification of FM150 module, please refer to Universal Serial Bus Specification 2.0” and “Universal Serial Bus Specification 3.1”.
Since the module supports USB 2.0 High-Speed, it is required to use TVS diodes with equivalent capacitance of 1pF or smaller ones on the USB_D-/D+ differential signal lines, it is recommended to use 0.5pF TVS diodes. USB_D- and USB_D+ are high speed differential signal lines with the maximum transfer rate of480 Mbit/s, so the following rules shall be followed carefully in the case of PCB layout: USB_D- and USB_D+ signal lines should have the differential impedance of 90±10 ohms.
3.5 USIM Interface The FM150 module supports dual SIM card single standby, has dual built-in USIM card interface, which supports 1.8V and 3V SIM cards. 3.5.1 USIM1 Pins The USIM1 pins description as shown in the following table: Pin Pin Name I/O Reset Value Description Type 36 UIM1_PWR PO - USIM1 power supply 1.8V/3V 30 UIM1_RESET O L USIM1 reset 1.8V/3V 32 UIM1_CLK O L USIM1 clock 1.8V/3V 34 UIM1_DATA I/O L USIM1 data, internal pull up(20KΩ) 1.

SIM Card Slot The principles of the N.C.SIM card slot are described as follows: When the SIM card is detached, it connects the short circuit between CD and SW pins, and drives the SIM_DETECT pin low.
SIM_DETECT pin low. When the SIM card is inserted, it connects the short circuit between CD and SW pins, and drives the SIM_DETECT pin high. 3.5.4 USIM Hot-Plugging The FM150 module supports the SIM card hot-plugging function, which determines whether the SIM card is inserted or detached by detecting the SIM_DETECT pin state of the SIM card slot.
The SIM card slot with a metal shielding housing can improve the anti-interference ability. The trace length between the SIM card slot and the module should not exceed 100mm, or it could reduce the signal quality. The UIM_CLK and UIM_DATA signal lines should be isolated by GND to avoid crosstalk interference. If it is difficult for the layout, the whole SIM signal lines should be wrapped with GND as a group at least.
