FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this modem complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage
the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
This CDMA MaxCard+ Modem has been tested for FCC RF exposure hand and body SAR compliance with the MM-5500C PC
CardBus form factor. In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the CDMA MaxCard+ Modem must be operated with
MM-5500C PC CardBus form factor.. The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided. During operation, a 1.5cm separation distance should be maintained between the
antenna, whether extended or retracted, and the user’s/bystander’s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure FCC RF
exposure compliance. CAUTION
Change or modification to the modem without the express consent of Maxon Electronics Australia Pty. Ltd. voids the user’s authority
to use the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits pursuant to Part 22 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with instructions, can cause harmful radiation to
radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does
cause harmful interference in radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, 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 distance between the equipment and the receiver

NOTE regarding installation where a personal firewall is in use:
The Application software communicates with the modem via UDP when connected in a dial up session.
The application software uses self addressing IP address 1.1.1.1 when checking for incoming voice calls,
SMS and any change of state. We have discovered that when using personal firewalls, these UDP packets
are blocked and voice, SMS and other notifications are not received by the Application Software. It is
recommended when using a personal firewall on your laptop or PC that you add IP address
1.1.1.1.3333 to the friendly list.
