SAR INFORMATION
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. 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.

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.
