Notice
SMART-MR10/15 User Manual Rev 5 9
FCC
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 have been tested and found to comply with the emission limits for
a Class B digital device. The Class B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 have been
certified by FCC for use in the 2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz band (FCC ID # UTU01018518).
There are two versions of the SMART-MR15 - a CDMA version and a GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version.
The CDMA version (NovAtel part number 01018606) contains FCC ID # RI7CC864-DUAL and the
GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version (NovAtel part number 01018712) contains FCC ID # RI7UC864G.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Re-orient or relocate the SMART-MR10/15
Increase the separation between the equipment and the SMART-MR10/15
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
SMART-MR10/15 is connected
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada regulations limiting both maximum RF
output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum system gain (antenna
gain minus system loss) must not exceed 0.9 dBi in the U.S. Cellular band and 3.0 dBi
in the PCS band for the GSM/GPRS/HSDPA variant, and 6.0 dBi in the Cellular band
and 6.0 dBi in the PCS band for the CDMA variant. System loss is the total of external
cable and connector losses and SMART-MR15 internal losses. For reference and
system gain calculation purposes, the SMART-MR15 has internal losses of 0.6 dB for
the 800 MHz Cellular band and 1.8 dB for the 1900 MHz PCS band.
In order to maintain compliance as a Class “B” digital device, shielded cables must be
used for the RS-232 serial data ports (Belden 1036A or equivalent) and twisted pair
cable should be used for the CAN port (note: shielded twisted pair will also improve
CAN performance in electrically harsh environments). I/O signals should be referred to
one of the two signal grounds (connector pin 9 or connector pin 15) and not power
ground (connector pin 2). If I/O signals route to different areas of the vehicle, dedicated
signal grounds for I/O should be spliced into a common connection to one of the two
signal grounds (pin 9 or pin 15), at a point close to the SMART-MR10/15.
