while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts from the driver or operator's
ability to control and operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such com-
munications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

The design of the Sierra Wireless modems complies with U.S. Federal Communi-
cations 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 Canadian, U.S.
and international standards bodies:
• ANSI/IEEE C95.1-2005, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300
GHz
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report
86, -1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radio
frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300
GHz
• International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1998, Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and
electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)
Caution: The Sierra Wireless USB modem must be 1 cm or more from users during
operation, to satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements. The Sierra Wireless USB modem
has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the notebook
computer(s) configurations with horizontal and vertical USB slots and can be used in
notebook computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and
electrical and RF characteristics. This USB modem must not be used with any other
antenna or transmitter that has not been approved to operate in conjunction with this
modem. Note: This USB modem must not be used in any unapproved configurations. For
details, contact Sierra Wireless.
Note: The Sierra Wireless USB modem is approved for normal-size notebook computers
only (typically with 12 inches or larger display screens). For notebook computers with a
display screen smaller than 12 inches or if the orientation of the USB slot does not allow for
at least 1 cm between the modem and the user or bystanders, use the provided extension
cable and clip to ensure a safe distance between the modem antenna and users or
bystanders.
To meet FCC requirements, use only the supplied USB extension cable and laptop clip;
other cables and laptop clips should not be used.
