SAR INFORMATION
THIS MODEL MODEM MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile modem employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the 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 modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the modem is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a modem model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for each model. The highest SAR value for this model modem when tested for use near the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.32 W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various modems and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model modem with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model 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: RB2-R772. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
modems used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your modem OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
INTERFERENCE TO MEDICAL DIVICES
Certain electronic equipment may be shielded against RF signal from your wireless modem (pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and so
on). Turn your modem OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. RF signals
may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic system in motor vehicles.
EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the modem is in use.
Do not move the antenna close to, or couching any exposed part of the body when making a call.
NEAR BODY OPERATION
This device was tested for typical near body operations with the back of the modem kept 0.5 cm from the body. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, it must have a minimum distance including the antenna of 0.5 cm from the
body during normal operation

INFORMATION TO THE USER
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
