Do not leave the USB Stick Modem in a motor vehicle parked in direct sunlight for more than fifteen
minutes.
Do not expose the USB Stick Modem to open flames.
Do not modify the antenna or substitute any other antenna. Doing so may result in product
failure and possible exposure to unsafe levels of RF.
Switch your USB Stick Modem off when near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, a potentially explosive
atmosphere such as a gasoline station, or when in an area in which blasting is in progress. Also, switch
it off when on an aircraft. Follow any other rules, regulations, or posted notices that apply to the use of
electronic or radio equipment in areas such as hospitals. The easiest way to turn off the USB Stick

use it while driving or while supervising or operating machinery.
The USB Stick Modem, like any other wireless communications device, cannot
guarantee a connection in all circumstances. Do not rely on it for matters where a connection
is essential.
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.
Your modem is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out RF signals. The USB Stick Modem has been evaluated against the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) limits defined by the FCC for devices of this type and the highest report SAR value complies with
the 1.6W/kg averaged over 1g complies with this limit. The highest SAR value measured for the USB
Stick modem was 1.50W/kg averaged over 1g.
This USB modem is approved for use in normal size laptop computers only (typically with 12 inch or
larger display screens). To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this modem should not be
used in configurations that cannot maintain a distance of at least 5mm (approximately 0.2 inch) from
users and bystanders.
For example, in certain laptop and tablet computers or other configurations where the USB connectors
on the host computer are unable to provide or ensure the necessary separation between the modem
and its users or bystanders to satisfy the RF exposure compliance requirements.
