Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by
Sierra Wireless, Inc. could void c om pliance with regulatory rules, and
thereby your authority to use this equipment.
The design of the WWAN module complies with U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of radio frequency (RF)
exposure for portable devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards
previously set by Canad ian, U.S. and international standards bo dies:
• 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 F req uency Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Cod e 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Ra nge from 3 kHz to 300 GH z
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIR P ) 1998, Guidelines for
limiting exposure to time-varying electric, mag netic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 3 00 GHz)

The WWAN module has been evaluated for compliance with FCC/IC RF exposure
limits in this laptop configuration. This WWAN module must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any other antenn a or transmitter other than the
transmitters that have been appro ved with this laptop. Use of this device in any
other configuration may exceed the FCC RF Exposure compliance limit.
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices
are absolutely s afe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being u sed. Whereas high levels of RF can produce hea lth effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to l ow-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health e ffects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have s uggested that some b iological effects might occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research. The WWAN and the WLAN radio devices have been tested
and found to comp ly with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment
and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
