Option GI0031 USB Modem
CE 0700
FCC-ID: NCMOGI0031
Safety Leaflet
Your USB Modem is like a mobile phone
Your USB Modem uses the same technology as a mobile phone. It is important that you always obey all safety regulations
related to mobile phone use. If you have any doubt about the safe operation of your USB Modem you should remove the
USB Modem from the PC and seek advice from authorized personnel.
This device may not be connected to a USB hub, nor to a PC network, nor to a USB 1.0 interface.
1. Safety Measurements
Please read the following guidelines carefully. Not following these guidelines can cause harm to the USB stick, yourself or
other persons.
1.1 General recommendations for use
ƒ
Always treat your product with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place. Do not expose your product to open
flames or lit tobacco products.
ƒ
Do not expose to liquid, moisture or humidity. Do not expose the USB Modem to rain, or other liquids.
ƒ
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.
ƒ
Do not paint your product.
ƒ
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Doing so may be dangerous and it will void the warranty.
ƒ
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
1.2 Traveling: Handle the USB stick with care while traveling. It is recommended to remove the USB stick from the
laptop.
1.3 Ambient temperatures: Do not expose the USB Modem or the antenna to ambient temperatures beyond the range of
-10 and +55 degrees Celsius.
1.4 Explosive atmosphere: Turn off your PC in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your PC
could generate sparks, which could cause an explosion or fire. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not
always clearly marked. They include fuelling areas (petrol filling stations), below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not
transport or store your PC and accessories in the compartment of a vehicle, which contains flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives.
1.5 Blasting areas – construction sites: Turn off your PC when in a blasting area in order to avoid interfering with twoway radios used in blasting operations.
1.6 Do not use on aircraft: Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. Remove your USB
Modem if you intend to use your PC whilst in an aircraft. Do not use it when the plane is on the ground without permission
from the aircraft crew.
1.7 Do not use in hospitals: Please ensure you follow any local regulations or rules. People are often asked to switch off
all electronic devices in some areas of a hospital; this is a recommendation that Option fully supports. Using the USB
Modem close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly result in interference. If you intend to use your PC in such
areas, you must remove the USB Modem.
1.8 Interference from radio signals: Option relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies about
potential undesired responses to radio emissions from the USB Modem.
1.9 Immunity to interference: Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device due to
its undesired response to radio signals from an external source. Occasionally in some situations you may hear short
sounds coming from audio equipment such as radio or multimedia PC. However, these audible signals do not interfere
with the operation of the equipment.
The 1989 Directive from the European Commission (89/336/ECC)13 governing all forms of electronic equipment concerns
interference that such equipment produces and its immunity to interference from outside. Any equipment compliant with
that directive is unlikely to suffer interference. All wireless devices may get interference, which could affect performance.
1.10 Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators & other medical implant devices
It is possible that the USB Modem may interfere with some types of pacemakers or implanted defibrillators when operated
close to the implanted device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is specific to the implant before using the
USB Modem. Health authorities in many countries have set up advisory services for medical devices and implants
including providing advice about maintaining separation distance between the mobile device or other radio frequency
equipment and the implant. Option operating companies reflect the advice given by their relevant health authority or
national advisory service and/or as a minimum indicate a separation distance of at least 20 cm between the USB Modem
or other radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device.
1.11 Hearing devices: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using
mobile devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of mobile device, the type of
hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the distance between the USB Modem and hearing device
may reduce interference.
1.12 Children: Do not allow children to play with your USB Modem. They could hurt themselves or others, or could
accidentally damage the USB Modem. Your USB Modem contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury
or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.
1.13 Driving: Do NOT use the USB Modem while driving; park the vehicle first.
1.14 SIM cards: To protect against damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) do not touch the SIM card connectors. As
a precaution, always make sure that USB Modem is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.
1.15 Accessories: Only use Option approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products. When used with
accessories Option can only guarantee safe and correct operation of our products if the accessories are tested and
approved by us.
1.16 Safe distance: The USB Modem has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR requirements. These tests
simulate the absorption by the human body of radiation from the USB Modem.
CE Regulations
The SAR limit as defined by the European Council Recommendation is 2,0 W/kg for a mass of 10g (R&TTE Directive
1999 519 EC). The SAR measurements where performed at a distance of 15 mm from a simulated human body, as
required by the Vodafone Test Specification (VFTST_1.901_SAR_Data-cards-V1.0).

FCC Regulations
For FCC, the measurements were made according to the Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Guidelines [OET 65] for evaluating compliance of mobile and portable devices with
FCC limits for human exposure (general population) to radiofrequency emissions. The device was tested in lap held
position with the bottom of the computer in direct contact against the flat phantom.
These guidelines define a limit of 1,6 W/kg averaged over a mass of 1 g.
This device has not been tested with USB slots in a vertical position. As such it may not be used on vertically oriented
USB slots by FCC regulation!

Based on these results, we state that the Option USB Modem complies with SAR requirements.
For day-to-day use we would advise the user to keep a minimum distance from the antenna of 20 cm.
Users concerned with the risk of Radio Frequency exposure may wish to limit the duration of their calls and to position the
antenna as far away from the body as is practical.
The USB Stick has been tested with specific integral antenna for SAR compliance with three notebook computers having
horizontal USB slots. The device can be used in notebook computers with substantially similar physical dimensions,
construction, and electrical and RF characteristics.
1.17 Supply voltage: The USB Modem has to be supplied by a limited power source according to EN 60950-1:2001.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, 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 between the equipment and 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/TV technician for help.
