142 Section 5B: Regulatory Information
Regulatory Notices
The design of the AirCard 597E ExpressCard complies with U.S. Federal
Communications 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:
䢇 ANSI / IEEE C95.1-1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
䢇 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86,
1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields
䢇 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
䢇 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)
FCC ID: N7NAC597E
CAUTION: The AirCard 597E ExpressCard has been tested for compliance with FCC/
IC RF exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with the side
loading ExpressCard slot and can be used in laptop computers with substantially
similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics.
This ExpressCard must not be colocated or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter. Use of this device in any other configuration may exceed
the FCC RF Exposure compliance limit. Note: If this ExpressCard is intended for use
in any other portable device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy
the SAR requirements of Part 2.1093 of FCC rules.
WARNING (EMI) - United States FCC Information - This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a class B computing device peripheral,
pursuant to Parts 15, 22, and 24 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
