FCC Health and safety information

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model USB Modem meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves.
This USB Modem 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 USB Modem emp loys 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

7

positions accepted by the FCC with the USB Modem transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all t ested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the USB modem while op erating can be well be low the maxim um value.
This is because the USB modem 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.

The highest SAR value for the model USB Modem as reported to the FCC is

1.14 W/kg on the body with 5mm separation between USB m odem to SAR

phantom.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various USB
Modem and at v arious positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on

FCC ID: Q78-MF112.
