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 employs 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 tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the USB modem while operating can be well below the maximum 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 0.823 W/kg on the body with 5mm separation between USB modem to SAR phantom. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various USB Modem and at various 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: KA2WM152A3. FCC Compliance This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
