Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
The following information includes important safety guidelines regarding exposure to radio
frequency (RF) signals and the use of electronic devices as determined by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
Your modem is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out RF signals. The FCC has adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
wireless cellular devices. The FCC guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously
set by the U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standards Institute - ANSI
C95.1 (1992); National Council on Radiation and Measurements - NCRP Report 86 (1986);
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection - ICNIRP (1996). If you use the
modem in accordance with these guidelines, the level of RF exposure will fall within the FCC
guidelines and the standards previously identified.
To comply with the FCC RF exposure rules, the modem has been evaluated against the Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits defined in Section 1.1310 of the FCC rules for the uncontrolled
environment. During normal operation, the modem should be kept a minimum distance of 20cm (8
inches) away from the user and other persons to ensure compliance with the MPE limits.
Care and Cleaning Guidelines
Use a clean soft cloth, slightly moistened with water, and wipe the outside surface of the Wireless
Broadband Modem only.
Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives when cleaning your Wireless Broadband
Modem. These items may scratch the surface or damage the interior components of the Wireless
Broadband Modem.
Avoid dropping, shaking or striking the Wireless Broadband Modem. This may damage its
components.
