Regulatory Information (continued)
FCC Equipment Authorization ID: NBZNRM-MC990D
This device is only authorized for use in laptop computers that are identical
or substantially similar to those in its grant application. At least 20cm (8
inches) of separation between the antenna and the users body must be
maintained at all times when using the USB Extension Cable and Notebook Monitor

Safety Notices
DO not operate your Ovation MC990D 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 MC990D may transmit signals that could interfere with this

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 offense.
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.
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the device
must be installed so that a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm (0.60
inches) is maintained between the antenna and all persons during
ordinary operating conditions if Ovation MC990D is used in a portable
configuration.
