Please read this document carefully prior to using the 3G Mini-Card MC8781 modem in your Fujitsu Life-Book.Important noticeBecause of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guar-anteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (that is, have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the 3G Mini-Card modem are used in a normal man-ner with a well-constructed network, the card should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the 3G Mini-Card modem, or for failure of the modem to transmit or receive such data.3G Mini-Card MC8781 Regulatory and Safety InformationFujitsu Computer Systems CorporationWWAN.fm Page 1 Friday, November 30, 2007 2:45 PM

2Safety and hazardsThe 3G Mini-Card modem MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas that may be susceptible to radio inter-ference. In particular:Prohibited AreasObey all signs and notices and follow all rules and reg-ulations. Power off the 3G Mini-Card modem when instructed to do so or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.Where explosive atmospheres may be present Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked. Such areas include gas stations, fuel depots, chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where blasting is in progress, 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 cellular phone or vehicle engine. Near medical or life-support equipmentIn areas where medical equipment may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas the 3G Mini-Card modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.On board aircraftIn addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The 3G Mini-Card modem is capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.WWAN.fm Page 2 Friday, November 30, 2007 2:45 PM

3Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspen-sion or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The 3G Mini-Card modem may be used nor-mally at this time.While operating a vehicleThe driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts from the driver or operator's ability to control and operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.Important safety/compliance information for North American usersCaution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by Sierra Wireless, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this equipment.The design of the 3G Mini-Card modem complies with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respect-ing safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure for portable devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S. and international standards bodies:WWAN.fm Page 3 Friday, November 30, 2007 2:45 PM

This 3G Mini-Card modem must not be collocated or operated in con-junction with any other antenna or transmitter other than the transmitters that have been approved with this laptop. Use of this device in any other configura-tion may exceed the FCC RF Exposure compliance limit.3G Mini-Card Modem MC8781 FCC ID: N7NMC8781-FIC: 2417C-MC8781 WWAN.fm Page 4 Friday, November 30, 2007 2:45 PM

5FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statementThe available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can pro-duce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biologi-cal effects. Some studies have suggested that some bio-logical effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The 3G Mini-Card Modem has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio fre-quency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.DO NOT USE THE NOTEBOOK ON YOUR LAP. USING IT ON YOUR LAP WILL BLOCK THE AIR VENTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM AND ALSO CAN REDUCE THE RF EXPOSURE SAFETY DISTANCE DURING RADIO OPERATION.WWAN.fm Page 5 Friday, November 30, 2007 2:45 PM

6Minimum Separation Distance from Transmitting Antennas The actual RF exposure from the Radio antenna largely depends on the distance between the antenna and the body of the user. For all ‘Mobile’ devices and ‘Portable’ devices designed for hand held operation (see above) where antenna is at least 20cms away from the user body, SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) tests are exempt and Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) applies.This equipment has been evaluated as a ‘Portable Hand Held device’ for RF safety, and COMPLIES with International Guidelines for Electromagnetic Radia-tion — Human Exposure standards: USA FCC OET 65 supplement C / IEEE C95.1.
