Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing the Verizon Wireless USB727 Modem for BroadbandAccess and
NationalAccess service!
Before installing the USB727 Modem VZAccess Manager software and drivers, review this manual which
outlines the features of the USB727 Modem hardware.
Important: Do not plug the USB727 Modem into the Type A USB port until you have installed VZAccess
Manager and have activated BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess service for your USB727 Modem. (See
the VZAccess Manager User Guide for detailed instructions on installation and software features, located on the
Installation CD.)

the 800/1900 bands enabling you to connect at high speeds to the Internet, your corporate Intranet, and your
email while you're away from the office.
Wireless communications
Important Notice
Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data can occasionally 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 may
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.
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 USB727 Modem, or failure of the USB727 Modem to transmit or
receive such data.
Safety hazards
Do not operate the USB727 Modem in an environment that may 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 and remove the modem from the USB port when instructed to do so, or when you suspect
that it may cause interference or danger.
Where explosive atmospheres may be present
Do not operate your modem in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may 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 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 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.
USB727 Modem USER GUIDE
Near Medical and life support equipment
Do not operate your modem in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near
any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host
communications device must be turned off. The modem may 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 host device is turned off 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 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 offence.
Limitation of liability
The information contained in this document is subject to change without notice and should not be construed as
a commitment by Verizon Wireless Inc.

RF Exposure/Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
FCC Equipment Authorization ID: PKRNVWMC727
Your 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 USB Modems 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 USB Modem or 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 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 0.775 W/KG USER-LAP POSITION
