70 Safety and Notices The following topics address important safety precautions, general notes, and required RF exposure information for your mobile broadband device. Safety Precautions The following topics outline important safety precautions that must be observed when using your mobile broadband device.
71 Regulatory Information The following topics provide important regulatory information. Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) forWireless Device The SAR value corresponds to the relative amountof RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of awireless device. The SAR value of a device is the result of anextensive testing, measuring and calculationprocess. It does not represent how much RF thedevice emits. All device models are tested attheir highest value in strict laboratory settings.But when in operation, the SAR of a device canbe substantially less than the level reported tothe FCC. This is because of a variety of factorsincluding its proximity to a base station antenna,device design and other factors. What is importantto remember is that each device meets strictfederal guidelines. Variations in SARs do notrepresent a variation in safety. All devices must meet the federal standard, whichincorporates a substantial margin of safety. Asstated above, variations in SAR values betweendifferent model devices do not mean variationsin safety. SAR values at or below the federalstandard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for useby the public. The highest reported SAR values of the Ride-Fi are: Simultaneous : 1.483W/Kg Body-worn: 1.349W/Kg For body-worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 20 cm from the user’s body. FCC Radio Frequency Emission This device meets the FCC Radio FrequencyEmission Guidelines. FCC ID number: 2ACCJB028 More information on the device’s SAR can befound from the following FCC website: http://fcc.gov/oet/ea/
72 FCC Notice 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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: Reorient the direction of the internal antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TVtechnician for help. Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by (manufacturer name) may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
