Revision History Author Revision Changes Date Wei Li v1.0 Initial Draft 2015-04-16 FCC Compliance This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL
06/16/14 32 INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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 on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Health and safety information Radio Frequency (RF) Energy This model Mifi meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This Mifi is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government: The exposure standard for Mifi employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Mifi 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 Mifi while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the Mifi is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
06/16/14 33 use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the model Mifi as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.45 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among Mifi models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various Mifis and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model Mifi with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model Mifi 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: PKRNVWM100 For body worn operation, this Mifi has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 10 mm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the Mifi at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 10 mm from your body when the Mifi is switched on.
