safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure for portable devices, which in turn are
consistent with the following safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S. and
international standards bodies:
• ANSI / IEEE C95.1-1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86,
1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radio
frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz

electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz).
FCC ID: RUT-OA3541 — Industry Canada ID: 1737G-OA3541
CAUTION: The OmniAccess 3500 NLG card has been tested for compliance with FCC/IC
RF exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with the side loading PC
Card slot and can be used in laptop computers with substantially similar physical
dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This PC card must not
be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Use
of this device in any other configuration may exceed the FCC RF Exposure compliance
limit. Note: If this PC Card is intended for use in any other portable device, you are
responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of Part 2.1093 of
FCC rules.
Where appropriate, the use of the equipment is subject to the following conditions:

peripheral, pursuant to Parts 15, 22, and 24 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
Section 4B: Regulatory Information 91 interference to radio communication.
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
