Regulatory and Safety InformationRev 1.1A Sep.09 33Caution: The USB 305 modem must be 5 mm (0.2 inches) or more from the user and bystanders during operation to satisfy FCC (regulatory) RF exposure requirements. It is approved for use with normal-size notebook computers only (typically with 12-inch or larger display screens). For notebook computers with a display screen smaller than 12 inches or if the orientation of the USB slot does not allow for at least 5 mm between the modem and the user or bystanders, use the provided extension cable and clip to ensure a safe distance between the modem antenna and users or bystanders. To meet FCC requirements, use only the supplied USB extension cable and laptop clip; other cables and laptop clips should not be used.
