Notes on the user guide
Information on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets the limits for protecting the health of the public from the effecs of
exposure to electromagnetic fields when it is operated in connection with the designated antenna(s) like described in the user manual.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to emission from electromagnetic fields recommended
by international guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines for the protection of the public and establish permitted levels of exposure to electromagnetic radiation for the population. The guidelines were confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure limit employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted in all frequency bands with the device transmitting at its highest
power level with minimum possible distance to the body. The actual SAR level of the
device during operation with the designated antenna(s) is below the maximum value
and is additionally decreased by a distance to the device. This is because the device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
enable seamless network connection.
Notes on the user guide
This user guide describes how to set up and configure the SE680 WiMAX modem.
Installation of the individual components is dealt with in the assembly instructions,
which you received together with the SE680 WiMAX modem.

The SE680 WiMAX
The SE680 WiMAX
What is WiMAX?
WiMAX stands for "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access", a modern wire-
less network technology that enables fast Internet connection even in remote areas.
With WiMAX technology you are no longer dependent on a DSL infrastructure in your
home or place of work. Instead, you connect your PC or network wirelessly to radio
stations operated in your region by your provider. As a result, WiMAX gives you fast,
economical broadband Internet access, even in places that are not connected to the
DSL cable network.
The WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16 generally defines WiMAX technology. Your SE680
WiMAX modem already meets the latest IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard, a mobile
WiMAX standard that offers many extra possibilities.
The SE680 WiMAX modem
With your SE680 WiMAX modem, you can make use of everything the Internet has to
offer:
Downloads
– Even large files download quickly to your PC.
– Complex Website designs are no longer characterised by the time they take to
download – you can enjoy flash animation and high-resolution graphics immediately after clicking on a link.
Audio
– Play back audio files straight from the Internet.
– Listen to the radio via the Internet in superb digital quality.
Video
– View short or longer films you find on the Internet without tedious waiting times.
– Watch television via the Internet (IPTV).
– Use "Video on Demand" and order films that are transmitted to you via the
Internet.
Real time
– Take part in video conferences and feel as if you are sitting in the same room as
the people you are talking to.
– Speak to and see your chat partners.
VoI P
– Benefit from the economical telephone rates for Internet telephony (Voice over
IP, VoIP). Your PC does not even need to be switched on.

Establishing a radio connection with a WiMAX network
i
Adjusting the antenna
Adjust your SE680 WiMAX modem facing towards the base station.
Click Next.
Establishing a radio connection with a WiMAX network
The Basic Setup Wizard will now scan the frequencies to establish an initial radio connection to a WiMAX network.
The frequency scan begins automatically. A progress bar indicates how far the scan
has progressed. In addition, you will see in the Remaining time area roughly how
much time is still needed for the complete scan. Depending on how your SE680 WiMAX
modem has been preconfigured by your provider, the scan can last several minutes
before the first radio connection is established.
During the scan, the SE680 WiMAX modem must not be moved; this is
the only way to guarantee a complete scan with the current antenna
alignment.
As soon as a radio connection has been established with a WiMAX network, the scan
will end. The progress bar is fully filled in and the display in the Remaining time area
jumps to 0 seconds.
If the scan has been successful, read on in Chapter "Precisely aligning the antenna"
on page 22.
If the scan has not been successful:
The integrated antenna is a directional antenna this means that it must at least be pointing roughly in the direction of a WiMAX network base station in order to establish a
radio connection. The access data must also have been entered correctly.
If the scan was not successful:
First check your access data by going back to the WiMAX configuration page
page 20).
(
If you have entered your access data correctly, adjust the SE680 WiMAX modem.
Turn your SE680 WiMAX modem by approx. 20°. Turn or move the device a little at
a time and note the signal strength display. Use this to move the antenna to the
position with the best signal strength.
