RF Exposure
Your device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is on, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with
your device, the system handling your connection controls the power level at which your device transmits.
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To ensure compliance with RF
exposure guidelines the device must be used with a minimum of 20cm separation from the body. Failure to observe these
instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Any optional external antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Any external antenna gain must meet RF exposure and max radiated output power limits of the applicable rule section. The
maximum antenna gain for this device as reported to the FCC is: 3.92 dBi (850MHz) and 2.5 dBi (1900MHz).
External antenna
If an external antenna is fitted to the device, both the device and antenna must be used with a minimum of 20cm separation from
the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines. Please consult the health and safety guide of the chosen antenna for
specific body separation guidelines as a greater distance of separation may be required for high-gain antennas.
CE Approval
This device has been tested to and conforms to the regulatory requirements of the European Union and attained CE Marking. The
CE Mark is a conformity marking consisting of the letters “CE.” The CE Mark applies to the products regulated by the central
European health, safety and environmental protection legislation. The CE Mark is obligatory for products it applies to: the
manufacturer affixes the marking in order to be allowed to sell their product in the European market.
The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU. NetComm Wireless declares that the wireless device is
in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive). Compliance with this directive implies conformity to the following European
Norms – N 60950 – Product Safety, EN 301 489 EMC, EN301511 GSM RF, EN301908 UMTS RF, EN 62311 SAR Technical
requirement for radio equipment. A notified body has determined that this device has properly demonstrated that the requirements
of the directive have been met and has issued a favourable certificate of expert opinion. As such the device will bear the notified
body number 0682 after the CE mark.
The CE Marking is not a quality mark. Foremost, it refers to the safety rather than to the quality of the product. Secondly, CE
Marking is mandatory for the product it applies to whereas most quality markings are voluntary.
Marking: The product shall bear the CE mark, the notified body number(s) as depicted to the right. CE0682.
This product has also passed the following certification standards –
CE SAR- EN62311/EN50385
CE RF – EN301511, EN301908-1/-2,
CE EMC – EN301489-1/-7/-24, EN55022/EN55024
CE Safety – EN60950
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the device must be kept at least 20cm away from the human body.
This is a regulatory requirement and applies to all 3G capable devices meeting standard regulatory compliance such as the
compliance standards listed above.
