FCC
The highest SAR value for this CDMA 1x EV-DO USB Modem is 1.08 W/kg (CDMA Cellular Band) The FCC
has granted an Equipment Authorization for this Handheld Printer Terminal 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 / fcc id after
searching on FCC ID: R2NSEC-8380
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://phonefacts.net.*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit
for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6watts/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
agitations in measurements.
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report
and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
WARNING! Read this information before use
Caution
Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
Near-Body Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, maintain a 5mm, separation distance between
the user's body and the Handheld Printer Terminal, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted.
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.
Information to User
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 on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ tv technician for help.
