Avis de la commission fédérale des communications (FCC – États-Unis)
Les appareils électroniques, y compris les ordinateurs et les modems sans fi l, génèrent de l’énergie RF en lien
avec leur fonction prévue et sont donc soumis aux règlements de la FCC.
L’équipement a été testé et s’est qualifi é à l’intérieur des limites acceptables d’un appareil digital de Classe B
conformément à l’article 15 du règlement de la FCC et la NMB-003 d’Industrie Canada: CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-
3(B). Ces limites sont conçues pour fournir une protection raisonnable contre le brouillage préjudiciable
lorsque l’équipement est utilisé dans un environnement résidentiel.
L’équipement génère de l’énergie des fréquences radio et est conçu pour être utilisé conformément au guide

Renseignements sur l’exposition aux fréquences radio et le débit d’absorption spécifi que (DAS)
Le DAS de ce produit a été évalué et il respecte les directives de la FCC concernant l’exposition aux ondes
radioélectriques.
RF Exposure/Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Equipment Authorization FCC ID: PKRNVWMC730, ISED IC ID: 3229A-MC730 PN: USB730L
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 scientic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic 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 Specic 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 certied
power level in all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the
actual SAR level of the USB 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 certied 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 as required by the FCC for each model.
50
CAUTION
This USB modem is approved for use in normal-size laptop computers only. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, this modem should not be used in congurations that cannot maintain at least 5 mm from
users and bystanders. For example, this modem should not be used in certain laptop and tablet computers
and congurations where the USB connectors are unable to provide or ensure the necessary separation is
available between the modem and its users to satisfy compliance.
Please ensure that the modem is positioned as indicated in the illustrations to maintain SAR compliance and
for proper performance. This modem has been designed and tested to meet SAR compliance as outlined by
the FCC. If the modem is connected to USB ports other than those shown above please ensure the device
maintains a separation distance of at least 5 mm.
NOTE: The Modem USB730L is not a handheld device.
D d’autorisation du matériel de la FCC ID: PKRNVWMC730, ISED IC ID : 3229A-MC730 PN : USB730L
Le modem sans fi l est un émetteur et receveur radio. Il est conçu et fabriqué pour ne pas dépasser les limites
d’expositions à l’énergie des fréquences radio (RF) émises par la commission fédérale des communications
(FCC) du gouvernement des États-Unis. Ces limites font partie de directives complètes et constituent les
niveaux d’énergie RF permis pour l’ensemble de la population. Les directives sont fondées sur des normes
mises au point par des organisations scientifi ques indépendantes à l’aide de périodiques et de l’évaluation
rigoureuse d’études scientifi ques. Les normes comprennent une marge de sécurité substantielle conçue
pour assurer la sécurité de la population, peu importe l’âge et l’état de santé.
Les normes sur l’exposition des appareils sans fi l, comprenant les modems USB mobiles et les modems sans
fi l, utilisent une unité de mesure appelée « débit d’absorption spécifi que » ou « DAS ». Les tests pour le DAS
sont faits à l’aide de positions d’utilisation habituelles étudiées par la FCC quand l’appareil testé émet
à sa puissance certifi ée maximale sur toutes les bandes de fréquence. Même si le DAS est déterminé à la
puissance certifi ée maximale, le niveau du DAS du modem USB en marche peut être largement inférieur à la
valeur maximale. Une telle chose se produit parce que le modem USB est conçu pour fonctionner à
diérentes puissances afi n de n’utiliser que la puissance nécessaire pour rejoindre le réseau. En général, plus
l’utilisateur est près de la station de base sans fi l, moins la puissance est grande.
Avant que l’appareil soit rendu disponible pour le grand public, il doit être testé et la FCC doit recevoir une
certifi cation attestant qu’il ne dépasse pas la limite établie par la prescription sur l’exposition sans danger
adoptée par le gouvernement. Les tests sont conduits aux positions et aux endroits requis par la FCC pour
chaque modèle.
MISE EN GARDE : Ce modem USB est approuvé pour une utilisation avec un ordinateur portable de taille
normale seulement. Pour être conforme aux exigences sur l’exposition aux fréquences radio de la FCC, ce
modem ne devrait pas être utilisé si sa position ne lui permet pas de le maintenir à au moins 5 mm des
utilisateurs ou des passants. Par exemple, ce modem ne devrait pas être utilisé avec certains ordinateurs
portables et tablettes électroniques dont les connecteurs USB ne peuvent fournir la distance nécessaire entre
le modem et son utilisateur pour assurer la conformité.
51
Bien vouloir s’assurer que le modem est positionné comme indiqué dans les photos pour maintenir la
conformité au DAS et pour jouir de l’effi cacité maximale. Ce modem a été conçu et testé conformément au
DAS indiqué dans les directives de la FCC. Si le modem est connecté à un port USB diérent de ceux décrits
ci-dessus, bien vouloir s’assurer que l’appareil demeure à une distance d’au moins 5 mm.
52
Wireless Communications
IMPORTANT Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications,
data occasionally can 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 might adversely aect communications.
Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several dierent
factors including signal reection, 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 USB730L, or failure of the USB730L to
transmit or receive such data.
