It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific Organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted 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 device 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted
21 requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest FCC SAR value for this device when tested for use at the when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.92 W/Kg . (Body-worn measur ements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. 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 model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of ttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: PH7EU230. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for device used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAFETY INFORMATION FOR RF EXPOSURE Body worm operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the device kept 5 mm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. Safety Information 1. SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. 2. INTERFERENCE TO MEDICAL DIVICES Certain electronic equipment may be shielded against RF signal from you wireless device. (pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and so on) Turn your device OFF in health c are facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic system in motor vehicles. 3.EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the device is in use. Do not move the antenna close to, or couching any exposed part of the body . FCC Compliance Information This device complies with Part 15 of 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.
22 U.S.A. U.S.FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT INFORMATION TO THE USER NOTE : This equipment 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 radiate 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 of a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. *- ?Consult the dealer or an exp erienced radio/TV technician for assistance. Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for Compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Connecting of peripherals requires the use of grounded shielded signal cables Europe SAR Limits For Safe Exposure To Radio Waves Your HSUPA express card is a radio transceiver (transmits and receives). It does not exceed the safe limits of radio wave exposure established by international guidelines. These safety guidelines are well within safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age or health. ˙ The exposure guidelines for mobile devices utilize a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. In Europe, the SAR limit guideline stated by the scientific organization ICNIRP is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and Industry Canada and the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) requirements set an SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. ˙ SAR tests are performed in body positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all test frequency bands. Actual device
23 SAR operating levels may be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only that power necessary to reach a network. That amount varies depending on base station proximity and other factors. ˙ There may be different SAR values depending on the mode, all modes are designed to meet radio wave requirements. The highest CE body SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of this device by the head is 1.86 W/kg. Note that different SAR values may result from use of device accessories and enhancements. SAR values may vary depending on regional measuring and testing standards and the network band.
