13.1 FCC Regulations

17

EVDO USB Modem User Manual

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference.

This USB Dongle complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

This USB Dongle has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, 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.

18

EVDO USB Modem User Manual

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate

the equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

13.2 RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
This USB Dongle 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.

The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific 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 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 USB Dongle 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are
to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

19

EVDO USB Modem User Manual

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when

tested for body, as described in this user guide, is 0.349 W/kg for
CDMA2000 BC0 band , 0.788 W/kg for CDMA2000 BC1 band.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
USB Dongles and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of

www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: PH7MV242.

For body operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use the positions the device a minimum of 0.5
cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

This USB dongle transmitter is approved for use in typical laptop
computers. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this USB
dongle should not be used in other devices or certain laptop and tablet
computer configurations where the USB connectors on the host
computer are unable to provide or ensure the necessary operating
configurations intended for the device and its users or bystanders to
satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements. This transmitter must

not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
