In some countries, operating such communication devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Under extended operation the and EM 100 MODULE modem will generate a noticeable amount of heat. Like all PC Cards, the modem generates heat during normal operation and will be heated by the host computer. For this reason it is recommended that after extended periods of operation, prior to removal and handling, you allow the modem to cool down. FCC ID label must be visible through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door or cover is easily removed. If not, a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text: “Contains FCC ID: PU5-EM100” Federal Communications Commission Notice (FCC—United States) FCC applies to and EM 100 MODULE. Refer to sections on Regulatory Compliance for more details. Electronic devices, including computers and Corporationmodems, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are therefore subject to FCC rules and regulations. This equipment will be tested, and found to be within the acceptable 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 when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates radio frequency energy and is designed for use in accordance with the manufacturer’s user manual. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are 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 the receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Radio Frequency Exposure Evaluation Requirements This Corporationmodule is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
EM100 Data Card Integration Guide R&D Division, Handheld & Mobile Communication, Taipei Design Center, Wistron Corp.Engineering Specification of 27 12establish 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 Corporationdevices including mobile phones and Corporationmodems uses a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the device under test. This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed applications. The antenna installation and operating configurations of this transmitter, including any applicable source-based time-averaging duty factor, antenna gain and cable loss must satisfy MPE categorical Exclusion Requirements of §2.1091. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. transmitting at its highest certified power level in all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone or modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone or modem 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 Corporationbase station antenna, the lower the power output. Before this device is made 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 (for example, at the ear or worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. In general, for the United States market, the embedded modules are treated as “mobile devices” as per FCC CFR47 paragraph 2.1091. A mobile device is defined as “a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.” Manufactures of mobile devices may be able to submit a Maximum Exposure Rate (MPE) calculation in order to demonstrate SAR compliance.
