Photon Access Manager EpiValley - 17 - +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.
