3) If this USB device does cause harmful interference with radio or
television signals (determine this by turning the USB device off and on),
attempt to correct the interference by trying one or more of the following:
• Reorient or relocate the antenna.
• Increase the separation between the USB device and receiver.
• Connect the USB device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
4) This USB device does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference causing
equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the
Department of Communications.
5) If you have purchased this product under a United States Government
contract, it shall be subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph
(C)(1)(ii) of Defense Federal Acquisitions Regulations (DFARs) Section
252.227-7013 for Department of Defense contracts, and as set forth in
Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FARs) Section 52.227-19 for civilian
agency contracts or any successor regulations. If further government
regulations apply, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with such
regulations.
6.4 Safety Precautions
1) Data transmission and reception cannot be guaranteed because of the
nature of wireless communications. Data can be delayed, corrupted
or lost during transmission. Even though it is quite rare that significant
data delay or loss occurs if the USB device is used in a normal manner,
this USB device should not be used in cases that data transmission
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
various aircraft systems.
4) Do not use this USB device while driving a car, since it can distract
driver’s driving. In some area, using the communication device while
driving a car is illegal.

5. SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATES (SAR)
Maximum: 0.579 W/kg CDMA835 BODY SAR
1.24 W/kg AWS1700 BODY SAR/ 1.04 W/kg PCS1900 BODY SAR
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 1.24 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: O6Y-UM100.
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 10mm 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 10mm 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.
