Important Safety Information
The following information applies to the devices described in this manual. Always observe all standard and accepted safety precautions and guidelines when handling any electrical device.
- Save this manual: it contains important safety information and operating instructions.
- Do not expose the MD2000 product to open flames.
- Ensure that liquids do not spill onto the devices.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the product: Doing so will void the warranty. This product does not contain consumer-serviceable components.
The MD2000 module device may not be used in an environment where radio frequency equipment is prohibited or restricted in its use. This includes air crafts, airports, hospitals, and other sensitive electronic areas.
Do not operate RF device sin an environment that may be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger,specifically;
- Areas where prohibited by the law.
- Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
- Where explosive atmospheres may be present.
- Do not operate your modem in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware of and comply with all signs and instructions.
- Users are advised interoperate the modem while they are at refueling point or service station.
- Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
- Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.
- Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
- Near Medical and life support equipment.
- Do not operate your modem in any area where medical equipment, or life support equipment may be located, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be turned off. The modem may transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
- On an aircraft, either on the ground orairborne.
- In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the host device is turned off prior to boarding an aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.
- While operating vehicle
- The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communication devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.

Regulatory Compliance
This section summarizes the responsibilities and actions required of manufacturers and integrator who incorporate OEM versions of the Inseego Corp.MD2000 module device into their products. In certain situations and applications, these products will require additional FCC or other regulatory approvals prior to sale or operation.
Appropriate instructions,documentation and labels are required for all products. For more information concerning regulatory requirements,please contact Inseego Corp.
FCC CERTIFICATION
Inseego Corp. certifies that the MD2000 Radio Module FCC ID: PKRISGMD2000 complies with the RF requirements applicable to broadband PCS equipment operating under the authority of 47 CFR Part 22, Part 24, and Part 27 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This certification is contingent upon installation, operation and use of the MD2000 module device and its host product in accordance with all instructions provided to both the OEM and end user. When installed and operated in a manner consistent with the instructions provided, the MD2000 module device meets the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure at defined in Section 1.1310 of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
The MD2000 modem device is designed for use in a variety of host units, “enabling” the host platform to perform wireless data communications. However, there are certain criteria relative to integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, hand-held, monitor and control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC compliance requirements.
Important Information for Integrator
This section provides guidance for using the MD2000 in host devices through the FCC Permissive Change process. When utilizing the permissive change process, Inseego Corp., the grantee, is responsible for all integrations and must be consulted on all regulatory matters involving the MD2000.
The MD2000 module device is granted with FCC modular approval for mobile¹ applications, and may be installed as a standalone² transmitter in final products meeting the following conditions. If the following conditions are followed, it may be used in final products without additional FCC certification. Otherwise, additional FCC approvals must be obtained.
- The transmitter antenna connected to the MD2000 module device must be install provided at least 20cm separation from the human body at all times.
- The MD2000 module device and transmitter antenna must not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna within a host device.
- A label containing the FCC ID must be permanently affixed to the exterior of the host device into which the MD2000 module device is installed. The label may also be under a panel or battery pack if it is readily accessible and cannot be separated from the host device itself. The label must contain a statement similar to the following;
- Contains FCC ID: PKRISGMD2000
If any of these conditions are not met, then additional information should be sought from the FCC or an FCC qualified test laboratory.
If the MD2000 module device is intended for use in a portable device, the OEM integrator is responsible for approval to satisfy FCC SAR requirements. Refer to FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C for information about FCC RF exposure compliance requirements for mobile and portable devices. The system user manuals and other documentation must clearly indicate operating conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and also include appropriate caution and warning statements and information.
The host device containing the MD2000 module device may also require compliance to FCC Part 15 Subpart B – Unintentional Radiators.
