2.3.6 Using the USB Modem Extension Cable
• The UM150 Modem package includes an extension USB Y-shaped cable.
Although the cable is not required for use with your UM150 Modem, it offers
increased performance for your UM150 Modem under certain operating
conditions. Simply insert the USB connector into the USB port of your
computing device to deliver power boost, increased RF performance, and to
solve clearance issues.
Using the USB Modem Extension Cable:
1) Plug the single end of the Y-shaped cable into the UM150 Modem. [A]
2) Depending on the condition you are trying to solve (power boost, increased
RF performance, or clearance issues), plug either one of the two connected
ends of the USB modem extension cable into the Type A USB port(s) on your
computer. [B]
Note: The USB modem extension cable connector labeled #1, is the primary data power
cable used to either extend the UM150 modem away from your computer allowing you
to locate the modem in a more optimum signal location or solve any computer USB port
clearance issues. The USB modem extension cable connector labeled #2, is a power
boost cable and must be used with connector #1 to provide the modem up to 1Amp of
current for use in weaker signal areas.
3) The device is connected to and powered by the computer as soon as the USB
cable is plugged properly into the appropriate Type A USB port(s).
4) Launch VZAccess Manager and click Connect.

or reception failure could result in damage of any kind to the user or
another party, including but not limited to personal injury, death or loss
of personal property. UTStarcom bears no responsibility for damages or
losses of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmission
using the USB device, or for failure of the USB device to transmit or
receive such data.
2) Do not use this USB device in areas where blasting is in progress,
where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical
equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be
susceptible to any form of radio interference. Turn off this USB device
in these areas, since it can transmit signals that could interfere with this
equipment.
3) Do not use this USB device in any aircraft whether the aircraft is on the
ground or in flight. Make sure to turn off this USB device in aircraft.
If used in an aircraft, it can transmit signals that could interfere with

5. SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATES (SAR)
Maximum: SAR 0.445 W/kg CDMA835 Body
SAR 0.476 W/kg PCS1900 Body
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 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 mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. *
Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 a phone model is 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
when worn on the body , as described in this user guide, is 1.19 W/Kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID: PP4PX-600.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at
http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-
stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR RF EXPOSURE
Body worn operation
This device was tested in multiple notebook computer configurations with USB
port configurations for typical near-body operations with the back of the USB
Modem kept 20mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements it can be used in notebook computers with substantially similar physical
dimensions,construction, and electrical and RF characteristics,and that maintain a
minimum 20mm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the USB
Modem, including the antenna. The antenna(s) used for this USB Modem must not be
co-located or must not operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
within a host device.
Safety Information
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS POTENTIALLY
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
INTERFERENCE TO MEDICAL DIVICES
Certain electronic equipment may be shielded against RF signal from you wireless
phone. (pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and so on) Turn your phone OFF in health c are
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. RF signals
may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic system in motor
vehicles.
EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Do not move the antenna close to, or
couching any exposed part of the body when making a call.
FCC Compliance Information
This device complies with Part 15 of 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.

INFORMATION TO THE USER
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 of a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
*- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.
Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for
Compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Connecting
of peripherals requires the use of grounded shielded signal cables.
