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 produce 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 exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.The following models (Table 1) that are conformitied have been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.Table 1(FCC) Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website.(IC) Please refer to the information that consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's Website.This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant condition. Users are not permitted to modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized changes made to this device could void your authority to operate this device.Product Name FCC ID IC NumberPCG-21111L AK8PCG21111L 409B-PCG21111LPCG-21112L AK8PCG21112L 409B-PCG21112L4860_LegalSafety.fm Page 9 Thursday, June 25, 2009 4:39 PM
10Exposition aux radiofréquences FCC/ICSelon les preuves scientifiques disponibles, aucun problème de santé n'est associé à l'utilisation d'appareils sans fil de faible puissance. Rien ne prouve cependant que ces appareils sont absolument sans danger. Lorsqu'ils sont utilisés, les appareils sans fil de faible puissance émettent de faibles niveaux d'énergie radiofréquence (RF) dans la gamme des hyperfréquences. Bien que les niveaux élevés de radiofréquence puissent avoir un effet sur la santé (réchauffement des tissus), l'exposition à de faibles niveaux n'ayant pas d'effet thermique n'a aucun impact négatif connu sur la santé. De nombreuses études sur l'exposition aux radiofréquences de faible niveau n'ont révélé aucun effet biologique. Certaines d'entre elles ont sous-entendu qu'il pourrait y avoir de tels effets, mais leurs résultats n'ont pas été confirmés par des recherches supplémentaires.Les modèles suivants (Tableau 1 ) ont été testés et se sont avérés conformes aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements définies par la FCC et IC pour les équipements non contrôlés ; ils répondent aux règles sur l'exposition aux rayonnements RF (radiofréquence) figurant dans le Supplément C de la norme OET65 de la FCC et à celles de la norme RSS-102 d'IC.Tableau 1(FCC) Veuillez vous reporter au rapport de test SAR téléchargé sur le site Web FCC.(IC) Veuillez vous reporter aux informations relatives au code de sécurité 6 que vous pouvez obtenir sur le site Web de Santé Canada.Cet appareil et sa ou ses antennes ne doivent pas être placés à proximité d'autres antennes ou émetteurs ni fonctionner avec eux, sauf dans la condition Grant. Les utilisateurs ne sont pas autorisés à modifier cet émetteur. Toute modification apportée à cet émetteur peut annuler vos droits d'utilisation de l'appareil.IC RSS-210 (Canada)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 of the device.L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.Nom du produit ID FCC Numéro ICPCG-21111L AK8PCG21111L 409B-PCG21111LPCG-21112L AK8PCG21112L 409B-PCG21112L4860_LegalSafety.fm Page 10 Thursday, June 25, 2009 4:39 PM
11Personal Medical DevicesFor models with the wireless WAN function onlyWhen Wireless WAN (EV-DO module) power is transmitting, it may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted medical devices.
