USB760 Modem USER GUIDE_revB 1Welcome Congratulations on purchasing the Verizon Wireless USB760 Modem for BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess service! Before installing the USB760 Modem VZAccess Manager software and drivers, review this manual which outlines the features of the USB760 Modem hardware. This dual-band USB Modem operates over the high-speed BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess networks in 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.
USB760 Modem USER GUIDE_revB 2Wireless 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 USB760 Modem, or failure of the USB760 Modem to transmit or receive such data. Safety hazards Do not operate the USB760 Modem in an environment that may be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger specifically; Areas where prohibited by the law o 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 o 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. o 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. o 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. Near Medical and life support equipment o 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 o 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 o 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.

This equipment has been tested to, and found to be within the acceptable limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide ion against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential environmThis equipment generates radio frequency energy and is designed for use in accordance with the manufacturer’s user manual. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reasonable protect ent. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna Increase the separation between the equipment and the 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/television technician for help This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE YOURSELF. SUCH ACTION MAY VOID THE WARRANTY. THE USB760 MODEM IS FACTORY TUNED. NO CUSTOMER CALIBRATION OR TUNING IS REQUIRED. CONTACT VERIZON WIRELESS TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICING YOUR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE. FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. MODIFICATIONS: The FCC requires that you be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Verizon Wireless, Inc. may void your authority to operate the equipment. This USB modem is approved for use in normal size notebook computers only (typically with 12” or larger display screens). To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this modem should not be used in configurations that cannot maintain at least 11 mm (approximately 0.43” or 7/16”) from users and bystanders; for example, in certain notebook and tablet computers and configurations where the USB connectors are unable to provide or ensure the necessary separation is available between the modem and its users to satisfy compliance.
USB760 Modem USER GUIDE_revB 26 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: PKRNVWMC760 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 1.53 W/KG USER-LAP POSITION.
