ICON 505M FCC-ID: NCMOGI1505 Safety & Certification Leaflet Your iCON 505M is like a mobile phone Your iCON 505M uses the same technology as a mobile phone. It is important that you always obey all safety regulations related to mobile phone use. If you have any doubt about the safe operation of your iCON 505M you should remove the iCON 505M from the PC and seek advice from authorized personnel. This device may neither be connected to a USB hub, nor to a PC network, nor to a USB 1.0 interface. Handle with care This device is designed to be plugged directly into the USB port of a computer, however, every precaution should be taken to avoid stress on the device should the computer be lifted, moved, relocated or packaged. Should regular movement of this nature be envisaged, an extender cable (sometimes supplied with the device) should be used so as to avoid damage to the device. It should be noted that any damage sustained as a result of the aforementioned mishandling will be regarded as “User Damage” and shall render the product warranty null and void 1. Safety Measurements Please read the following guidelines carefully. Not following these guidelines can cause harm to the USB stick, yourself or other persons. 1.1 General recommendations for use  Always treat your product with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place. Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.  Do not expose to liquid, moisture or humidity. Do not expose the iCON 505M to rain or other liquids.  Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.  Do not paint your product.  Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Doing so may be dangerous and it will void the warranty.  Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily. (This is located either inside the product or as an external antenna.) 1.2 Traveling: Handle the USB stick with care while traveling. It is recommended to remove the USB stick from the laptop. 1.3 Ambient temperatures: Do not expose the iCON 505M or the antenna to ambient temperatures beyond the range of -10 and +55 degrees Celsius. 1.4 Explosive atmosphere: Turn off your PC in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your PC could generate sparks, which could cause an explosion or fire. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked. They include fuelling areas (petrol filling stations), below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store your PC and accessories in the compartment of a vehicle which contains flammable gas, liquid or explosives. 1.5 Blasting areas – construction sites: Turn off your PC when in a blasting area in order to avoid interfering with two-way radios used in blasting operations. 1.6 Do not use on aircraft: Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. Remove your iCON 505M if you intend to use your PC whilst in an aircraft. Do not use it when the plane is on the ground without permission from the aircraft crew.

People are often asked to switch off all electronic devices in some areas of a hospital. This is a recommendation that Option® fully supports. Using the iCON 505M close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly result in interference. If you intend to use your PC in such areas, you must remove the iCON 505M. 1.8 Interference from radio signals: Option® relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies about potentially undesirable reactions to radio emissions from the iCON 505M. 1.9 Immunity to interference: Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device due to its response to radio signals from an external source. Occasionally, in some situations you may hear short sounds coming from audio equipment such as radio or multimedia PC. However, these audible signals do not interfere with the operation of the equipment. The Directive from the European Commission (2004/108/EC) governing all forms of electronic equipment concerns interference that such equipment produces, and its immunity to interference from outside. Any equipment compliant with that directive is unlikely to suffer interference. All wireless devices may get interference which could affect performance. 1.10 Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators & other medical implant devices It is possible that the iCON 505M may interfere with some types of pacemakers or implanted defibrillators when operated close to the implanted device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is specific to the implant before using the iCON 505M. Health authorities in many countries have set up advisory services for medical devices and implants including providing advice about maintaining separation distance between the mobile device or other radio frequency equipment and the implant. Option® operating companies reflect the advice given by their relevant health authority or national advisory service, and as a minimum recommend a separation distance of at least 20 cm between the iCON 505M or other radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device. 1.11 Hearing devices: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using mobile devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of mobile device, the type of hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the distance between the iCON 505M and hearing device may reduce interference. 1.12 Children: Do not allow children to play with your iCON 505M. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the iCON 505M. Your iCON 505M contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard. 1.13 Driving: Do NOT use the iCON 505M while driving. Park the vehicle first. 1.14 SIM cards: To protect against damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the iCON 505M is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card. 1.15 Accessories: Only use Option® approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products. When used with accessories, Option® can only guarantee safe and correct operation of our products if the accessories are tested and approved by us. 1.16 Safe distance: The iCON 505M has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR requirements. These tests simulate the absorption by the human body of radiation from the iCON 505M. This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the FCC. The measurements were made according to the Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Guidelines [OET 65] for evaluating compliance of mobile and portable devices with FCC limits for human exposure (general population) to radiofrequency emissions. The device was tested in all applicable USB orientations with a separation of 5 mm to the flat phantom. The FCC guidelines define a limit of 1.2 W/kg averaged over a mass of 1 g for single platform devices, in this case a notebook platform.
