Renseignements sur l’exposition aux fréquences radio et le débit d’absorption spécifi que (DAS) Le DAS de ce produit a été évalué et il respecte les directives de la FCC concernant l’exposition aux ondes radioélectriques. RF 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:  PKRNVWMC620 I  C ID:  3229A-U620  PN:  U620Your 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 scientic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic 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 USB Modems and wireless modems uses a unit of measurement known as the Specic 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 certied power level in all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of the USB modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the USB 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 this device is made available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied 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 as required by the FCC for each model.CAUTIONThis USB modem is approved for use in normal-size laptop computers only. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this modem should not be used in congurations that cannot maintain at least 5 mm from
23users and bystanders. For example, this modem should not be used in certain laptop and tablet computers and congurations where the USB connectors are unable to provide or ensure the necessary separation is available between the modem and its users to satisfy compliance.     Please ensure that the modem is positioned as indicated in the illustrations to maintain SAR compliance and for proper performance. This modem has been designed and tested to meet SAR compliance as outlined by the FCC. If the modem is connected to USB ports other than those shown above please ensure the device maintains a separation distance of at least 5 mm.D d’autorisation du matériel de la FCC : PKRNVWMC679 IC ID : 3229A-U620  PN : U620  Le modem sans fi l est un émetteur et receveur radio. Il est conçu et fabriqué pour ne pas dépasser les limites d’expositions à l’énergie des fréquences radio (RF) émises par la commission fédérale des communications (FCC) du gouvernement des États-Unis. Ces limites font partie de directives complètes et constituent les niveaux d’énergie RF permis pour l’ensemble de la population. Les directives sont fondées sur des normes mises au point par des organisations scientifi ques indépendantes à l’aide de périodiques et de l’évaluation rigoureuse d’études scientifi ques. Les normes comprennent une marge de sécurité substantielle conçue pour assurer la sécurité de la population, peu importe l’âge et l’état de santé.Les normes sur l’exposition des appareils sans fi l, comprenant les modems USB mobiles et les modems sans fi l, utilisent une unité de mesure appelée « débit d’absorption spécifi que » ou « DAS ». Les tests pour le DAS sont faits à l’aide de positions d’utilisation habituelles étudiées par la FCC quand l’appareil testé émet à sa puissance certifi ée maximale sur toutes les bandes de fréquence. Même si le DAS est déterminé à la puissance certifi ée maximale, le niveau du DAS du modem USB en marche peut être largement inférieur à la valeur maximale. Une telle chose se produit parce que le modem USB est conçu pour fonctionner à diérentes puissances afi n de n’utiliser que la puissance nécessaire pour rejoindre le réseau. En général, plus l’utilisateur est près de la station de base sans fi l, moins la puissance est grande.Avant que l’appareil soit rendu disponible pour le grand public, il doit être testé et la FCC doit recevoir une certifi cation attestant qu’il ne dépasse pas la limite établie par la prescription sur l’exposition sans danger adoptée par le gouvernement. Les tests sont conduits aux positions et aux endroits requis par la FCC pour chaque modèle.MISE EN GARDE : Ce modem USB est approuvé pour une utilisation avec un ordinateur portable de taille normale seulement. Pour être conforme aux exigences sur l’exposition aux fréquences radio de la FCC, ce modem ne devrait pas être utilisé si sa position ne lui permet pas de le maintenir à au moins 5 mm des utilisateurs ou des passants. Par exemple, ce modem ne devrait pas être utilisé avec certains ordinateurs portables et tablettes électroniques dont les connecteurs USB ne peuvent fournir la distance nécessaire entre le modem et son utilisateur pour assurer la conformité.Bien vouloir s’assurer que le modem est positionné comme indiqué dans les photos pour maintenir la conformité au DAS et pour jouir de l’effi cacité maximale. Ce modem a été conçu et testé conformément au DAS indiqué dans les directives de la FCC. Si le modem est connecté à un port USB diérent de ceux décrits ci-dessus, bien vouloir s’assurer que l’appareil demeure à une distance d’au moins 5 mm.FPO FPO
24Wireless CommunicationsIMPORTANT  Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data occasionally can be lost or delayed. 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 aect communications.Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several dierent factors including signal reection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio channels. Verizon 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 U620L, or failure of the U620L to transmit or receive such data.Limited Warranty and LiabilityNovatel Wireless, Inc. warrants for the 12-month period immediately following receipt of the Product by Purchaser that the Product will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

25Safety HazardsDo not operate the MiFi U620L in an environment that might be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger, specically:Areas where prohibited by the lawFollow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn o the host device and remove the modem from the USB port when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it might cause interference or danger.Where explosive atmospheres might be presentDo not operate your modem in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere might exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions.Users are advised not to operate the modem 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 liqueed 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 o your vehicle engine.Near medical and life support equipmentDo not operate your modem 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 o. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborneIn addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the host device is turned o and your modem is removed from the USB port 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 vehicleThe 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 oense.
26Electrostatic 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.
