Warning and notice
Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model USB Modem meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This USB Modem is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile USB Modems employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the USB Modem transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the USB Modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the USB Modem is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model USB Modem as reported to the FCC is 1.02 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among USB Modem models, depending upon available
enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various USB Modems and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model USB Modem with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model USB Modem is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: Q78-MF656.
For body worn operation, this USB Modem has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 0.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory
and are not holding the USB Modem at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 0.5 cm
from your body when the USB Modem is switched on.
