Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFI-
CIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
MOTOROLA WDE1000.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Motorola product contains a radio frequency transmit-
ter to convey the information you wish to send as well as
occasional automatic signals used to sustain connection to
the wireless network, and a receiver which enables you to
receive communication and connection information from
the network.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the radio product and may violate FCC regu-
lations. When using any approved accessory antenna, posi-
tion it at least eight inches (20 cm) from any part of any
person.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio product is "IN
USE". Holding the antenna affects communication quality
and may cause the product to operate at a higher power
level than needed.
Product Operation and EME Exposure
Your Motorola product is designed to comply with the fol-
lowing national and international standards and guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy (EME):
• United States Federal Communications Commission,
Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Insti-
tute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). C95. 1-1999 Edition.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998.
• Ministry of Health (Canada). Safety Code 6. Limits of
Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz,
1999.
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommu-
nications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Expo-
sure) Standard 2003.
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution
303 (July 2, 2002) "Regulation of the limitation of
exposure to electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic
fields in the radio frequency range between 9 kHz and
300 GHz." "Attachment to Resolution 303 from July 2,
2002."
The WDE1000 has been tested for compliance with FCC
RF exposure limits in laptop computer configurations with
side PCMCIA slots, and can be used in laptop computers
with substantially similar physical dimensions, construc-
tion, and electrical and RF characteristics.
FCC ID

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your WDE1000 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission lim-
its for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Govern-
ment. 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 WDE1000 employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
(1)
Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
reviewed by the FCC with the WDE1000 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 WDE1000 while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the WDE1000 is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network.
Before a WDE1000 model is available for sale to the pub-
lic, 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 as required by the FCC for each
model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
WDE1000 with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this WDE1000 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:
AZ489FT7016.
(1) In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
modems used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-
stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in measure-
ments.
