SAFETy
FIRST

Please read all the safety notices before using this
device.

Do not use your device near fuel or chemicals or in any
prescribed areas such as service stations, reneries,
hospitals, and aircraft. Obey all warning signs where
posted.

RADIO FREquENcy SAFETy INFORMATION

Your device has an internal antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption, do
not shield the device or cover with any object. Covering
the antenna affects signal quality, and may cause your
device to operate at a higher power level than needed,
and may shorten battery life.

RADIO FREquENcy ENERgy

Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit
power level is optimised for best performance and
automatically reduces when there is good reception.
Maximum power is only used at the edge of network
coverage so under most circumstances, the power
output is very low. Under poor network conditions the
Telstra Pre-Paid 4G Wi-Fi (760S) transmits at a higher
power, may get hot and have signicantly shorter
battery life.

DEcLARATION OF cONFORMITy —
MAXIMuM pERMISSIBLE EXpOSuRE

Your device is designed to be used at least 20 cm from
the body. We declare that the product detailed in this

Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian
Communications and Media Authority Section 376
of the Telecommunications Act 1997 when used at a
distance of not less than 20cm from the body. The
worst case SAR test result for 10g tissue size measured
at 10mm distance is 1.393mW/g.

ROHS DEcLARATION
(RESTRIcTION OF HAzARDOuS SuBSTANcES)

The manufacturer declares that your device is free from
hazardous materials and complies with EU directive
