1.2 Radiation from Electronic Devices
The USB modem is a transmitting device with similar output
power to a mobile phone. It uses an internal antenna to
connect to the mobile network. To get the best performance
from your device do not cover or shield the device in any way
as this will lead to increased output power. Always leave a clear
space around the device to allow the transmit and receive
signals to propagate. It is not intended to be used as a
handheld or body worn device but the SAR tests have been
completed and exceed the Australian regulatory requirements.
