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 of the following measures: x Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. x Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. x Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. x Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.    FCC Caution To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).  This device complies with Part 15 of the 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.
 Appendices 39 FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.    This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.  Max. SAR levels: 1.180 W/kg GCF RoHS/WEEE  Glossary 2G: Second-generation mobile networking technology. Represents a switchover from analog to digital; most 2G networks use GSM. 3G: Third-generation mobile networking technology that enables simultaneous transfer of voice and non-voice data; most 3G networks use WCDMA. 3.5G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses HSDPA. 3.75G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses HSUPA. APN (Access Point Name/Network): Provides GPRS routing information. Consists of: Network ID: Identifies the external service requested by a GPRS user.   Mobile network operator ID: Specifies routing information. ARFCN (Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number): The specific ID numbers for all radio channels used in cellular mobile communications. bps (bits per second): How data flow is measured. CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol): CHAP identifiers are changed frequently and authentication can be requested by the server at any
Appendices 40  time.  DNS (Domain Name System): Helps route network traffic by making the addressing process more user-friendly. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): How devices obtain IP addresses from a server. DUN (Dial-Up Network): Windows component that enables online access via a modem. EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment/Enhanced Data for Global Evolution): Advanced GPRS that delivers multimedia and other data needing greater bandwidth at up to 237 kbps. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service): Delivers data in packets at up to 86 kbps. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications): The most popular cellular network, mostly operates in 850-900 or 1800-1900 MHz; the primary 2G system. HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access): Advanced WCDMA that delivers downlink bandwidth intensive data at up to 7.2Mbps; typically associated with 3.5G. HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access): Advanced WCDMA that delivers uplink bandwidth intensive data at up to 5.76Mbps; typically associated with 3.75G. HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access +): This is also known as HSPA Evolved, is the next step and is more focused on delivering data services enabling speeds of up to 42Mbps in the downlink and 11Mbps in the uplink. IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity): A number unique to each GSM/UMTS device that can be used block network access by a stolen mobile device. IP (Internet Protocol): Routes packets over a network. Kbps (Kilobits per second): A data flow measure; 1024 bits/second. LAN (Local Area Network): A data network with limited range but good bandwidth. Mbps (Megabits per second): A data flow measure; 1,048,576 bits/second. PAP (Password Authentication Protocol): The difference between PAP authentication and a manual or scripted login, is that PAP is not interactive. The username and password are entered in the client's dialing software and sent as one data package as soon as the modems have established a connection, rather than the server sending a login prompt and waiting for a response. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol): An internet connection method. PIN (Personal Identity Number): Four to eight digital numbers SIM card security code; allows access to the carrier’s network. Rx: Shorthand for Reception. SIM (Subscriber Identity Module): A small card that contains key mobile device identification, subscription and contact information. Tx: Shorthand for Transmission.
 Appendices 41 WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access): Advanced EDGE that supports 384kbps data flow. Most 3G networks use this standard, the same as UMTS.      WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access      WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup
