Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR Level of
the modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the modem
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output of the modem.
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various modems and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. The modem meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with this device at least 10mm from the body.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientic information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for use of modem. If individuals are concerned,
they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length
of use to keep data card away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193) Additional WHO
information about electromagnetic elds and public health are available on the following
website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital , pursuant
to Part 15 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 radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR):
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 United
States.
During SAR testing, this is set to transmit at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body
with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power
level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless s employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.
