60 Regulatory Statements Federal Communications Commission Notice (FCC – United States) Electronic devices, including computers and wireless modems, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are therefore subject to FCC rules and regulations. This equipment has been tested to, and found to be within the acceptable 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 when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates radio frequency energy and is designed for use in accordance with the manufacturer’s user manual. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are 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 the 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/television technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions. • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE YOURSELF. SUCH ACTION MAY VOID THE WARRANTY. THE [Product Name] MODEM IS FACTORY TUNED. NO CUSTOMER CALIBRATION OR TUNING IS REQUIRED. CONTACT FRANKLIN WIRELESS TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICING YOUR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE. FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. MODIFICATIONS: The FCC requires that you be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Franklin Wireless Corp. may void your authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: The Radio Frequency (RF) emitter installed in your modem must not be located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, unless specifically authorized by Franklin Wireless Technologies.
61 RF Exposure Content FCC Equipment Authorization ID: XHG-R700 This device is authorized for use in mobile and portable applications. This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For better signal reception, coverage range and data throughput, do not place the router near any physical obstruction, including in a pocket or in close proximity of any object. For RF Safety, a mandatory minimum of 5 mm should be maintained between the device and any part of a human body when using the device. Increasing the separation between the device and the body will result in better reception and reduced exposure to radio energy.
62 Wireless Communications This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path. Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the modem might adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several different factors including signal reflection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio channels. Franklin Wireless or its partners will not be held responsible for damages of any kind resulting from the delays or errors in data transmitted or received with the [Product Name], or failure of the [Product Name] to transmit or receive such data. IMPORTANT Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data occasionally can be lost or delayed.

63 Safety Hazards Do not operate the [Product Name] in an environment that might be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger, specifically: Areas where prohibited by the law Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it might cause interference or danger. Where explosive atmospheres might be present Do not operate your device in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere might exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions. Users are advised not to operate the device while at a refueling point or service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Near medical and life support equipment Do not operate your device in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment that might be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be turned off. The device can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the modem is turned off prior to boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls. While operating a vehicle The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
64 Electrostatic discharge (ESD) Electrical and electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Macintosh native connection software might attempt to reinitialize the device should a substantial electrostatic discharge reset the device. If the software is not operational after an ESD occurrence, then restart your computer.
65 Proper Battery Use and Disposal IMPORTANT In event of a battery leak: • Do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or the eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice. • Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed. • Communicate the appropriate steps to be taken if a hazard occurs. Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data occasionally can be lost or delayed. Please review carefully the following general guidelines for safe and responsible battery use. • Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred. • Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert a foreign object into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard. • Only use the battery for the system for which it was specified. • Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. • Do not short circuit a battery or allow a metallic or conductive object to contact the battery terminals. • Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. • Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. • Battery usage by children should be supervised. • Avoid dropping the [Product Name] or battery.
