U600 Mobile Broadband Modem 37  SAR INFORMATION THIS MODEL MODEM MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.   Your  wireless  modem  is a  radio  transmitter and receiver. It  is designed  and  manufactured not  to  exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.  The standards include a substantial  safety  margin  designed  to  assure  the  safety  of  all  persons,  regardless  of  age  and  health.  The exposure  standard  for  wireless  mobile  modem  employs  a  unit  of  measurement  known  as  the  Specific Absorption Rate,  or  SAR. The SAR limit set by the  FCC is  1.6 W/kg. *  Tests  for  SAR are  conducted  with  the 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 modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the modem is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use  only  the  power  required to  reach  the  network. In  general,  the  closer  you  are  to  a  wireless  base  station antenna,  the  lower  the  power  output.  Before  a  modem  model  is  available  for  sale  to  the  public,  it  must  be tested  and  certified  to  the  FCC  that  it  does  not  exceed  the  limit  established  by  the  government  adopted requirement for safe exposure.    The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model modem when tested for use near the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.19 W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various modems and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model modem with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model modem 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:  XHG-U600. Additional information  on  Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)  can  be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.   * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile modems used by the public is 1.6 watts/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 variations in measurements.         SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Turn your modem OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cauls  e  an explosion or fire  resulting in bodily injury or even  death.  INTERFERENCE  TO  MEDICAL  DIVICES  Certain  electronic  equipment  may be  shielded  against  RF signal from your wireless modem. (pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and so on) Turn your modem OFF in health c are facilities when  any regulations posted  in these  areas  instruct you  to do  so. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic system in motor vehicles. EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the modem is in use. Do not move the antenna close to, or couching any exposed part of the body when making a call. NEAR BODY OPERATION This device was tested for typical near body operations with the back of the modem kept 0.5 cm  from  the  body.  To  maintain  compliance  with  FCC  RF  exposure  requirements,  it  must  have  a  minimum distance including the antenna of 0.5 cm from the body during normal operation
U600 Mobile Broadband Modem 38   U.S.A.   U.S.FEDERAL  COMMUNICATIONS  COMMISSION  RADIO  FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT INFORMATION TO THE USER NOTE: 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 of a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.    Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for Compliance could void the user‟s authority  to  operate  the  equipment.  Connecting  of  peripherals  requires  the  use  of  grounded  shielded  signal cables.
