RF Certification/Restrictions
80-99208-1 Rev. D B-3
RF Restrictions
The GSP-1620 modem must be used with the QUALCOMM-
provided antenna, and no modification to the RF transmit or
receive path is permitted in the form of amplifiers.
QUALCOMM Incorporated must be consulted before any
changes can be made in the RF path, including cable length
deviations from the QUALCOMM-provided or recommended
cabling. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance with
the Globalstar communications network and Government
Radio Regulations.
Radio Astronomy Zones
Radio Astronomy exclusion zones may be blacked out of
Globalstar service. The OEM manufacturer should consult
with the Globalstar Service Provider to ensure that service is
available in the location(s) of the installed OEM product.
GPS Interference Elimination
The modem antenna must be installed a minimum distance
of 30 inches from a GPS antenna to ensure compatibility
between the two satellite systems.
Radio Frequency Exposure Restrictions
The GSP-1620 modem incorporates a relatively low-power
radio transmitter, receiver, and antenna (the DRA). When it
is ON it receives and sends radio frequency (RF) signals. In
August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
portable wireless phones and devices. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standards previously set by both
US and international standards bodies:
• ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard [American National
Standards Institute / Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers]
• NCRP Report 86 (1986) [National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements]
