2.2 Regulatory information
2.2.1 Safety warnings
Do not operate the Gobi2000 platform in the following environments:
 In active blasting areas
 In potentially explosive environments such as refuelling points, fuel depots, or chemical plants
 Near medical equipment, especially life support equipment that might be susceptible to radio
interference
 In an aircraft as follows:
 Gobi2000 transmissions could interfere with aircraft electrical and communication
systems. Like cell phones, using the Gobi2000 platform in an aircraft is illegal in some
jurisdictions.
 If cell phone usage is permitted while the aircraft is on the ground, normal Gobi2000
operation is also permitted.
2.2.2 North American compliance
The Gobi2000 platform has been authorized for mobile operation in North America. The initial
authorization grant does not permit end-user installation.
A permissive change will be submitted to add end-user installation and/or portable usage
conditions. The permissive change application includes detailed information on Gobi2000’s
two-way authentication procedure, preventing use of the module in unauthorized notebooks.
For mobile applications, the following conditions must be met:
1. Maintain at least a 20 cm separation between the antenna and the user’s body.
2. Radiated transmit power must be equal to or lower than that specified in the FCC Grant of
Equipment Authorization for FCC ID: J9CGOBI2000.
3. To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, maximum antenna gain (including cable loss) must not exceed:
 Cellular band < 7.5 dBi
 PCS band < 3.5 dBi
4. Independent Gobi2000 operation — the Gobi2000 platform must not be colocated or jointly
operated with any other transmitter or antenna within the host device.
