Regulatory NoticesThis device is designed to be activated on the Sprint network and has a software programming lock that, in part, protects many of the device's features and functions against tampering and unauthorized reprogramming. This device will work with Sprint services—service plans and other services/options must be purchased separately. Operates within the Sprint CDMA frequency band of 800 MHz/1.9 GHz. This device will not operate on any iDEN network. Coverage is not available everywhere. Product meets current FCC Radio Frequency Emission Exposure Guidelines. FCC Equipment Authorization ID number: PKRNVWCC760.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.

Regulatory InformationSection 3B. Regulatory Information 27This 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 and Industry Canada ICES-003. 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:ⅷReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.ⅷIncrease the separation between the equipment and the receiver.ⅷConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.ⅷConsult 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:1. This device may not cause harmful interference.2. 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 MERLIN C777 DEVICE IS FACTORY TUNED. NO CUSTOMER CALIBRATION OR TUNING IS REQUIRED. CONTACT SPRINT 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 Sprint may void your authority to operate the equipment.

28 Section 3B. Regulatory InformationRF Exposure/Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) InformationThis product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves.FCC Equipment Authorization ID: PKRNVWCC760Your wireless modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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 devices including mobile cards and wireless modems uses a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the device under test transmitting at its highest certified power level in all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 this device is made 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 (for example, at the ear or worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. THE FCC HAS GRANTED AN EQUIPMENT AUTHORIZATION FOR THIS WIRELESS MODEM WITH ALL REPORTED SAR LEVELS EVALUATED AS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. THE HIGHEST SAR VALUE FOR THIS MODEM WHEN TESTED FOR COMPLIANCE AGAINST FCC STANDARDS WAS 1.179 W/KG USER-LAP POSITION.

Important Safety Information 31Section 3CImportant Safety InformationࡗImportant Notice (page 31)ࡗSafety and Hazards (page 31)Important NoticeBecause of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Merlin C777 device are used in a normal manner with a well constructed network, they should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. SPRINT SPECTRUM L.P. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Merlin C777 device or for failure of the Merlin C777 device to transmit or receive such data.Safety and HazardsDo not operate the Merlin C777 device in areas where blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Merlin C777 device MUST BE POWERED OFF. It can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.Do not operate the Merlin C777 device in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Merlin C777 device MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, it can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Merlin C777 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 jurisdictions, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
