FCC Compliance (only Part 15B)  This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.  Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the 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 in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 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 receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
   Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 17—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.  Health and safety information  Radio Frequency (RF) Energy This model hotspot meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This hotspot is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government: The exposure standard for wireless mobile hotspots employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.  *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the hotspot 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 hotspot while operating can be well below the maximum value.   This is because the hotspot is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network.  In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the model hotspot as reported to the FCC when tested for use is 1.35 W/kg at body worn with 1cm distance. There may be differences between the SAR levels of various hotspots and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model hotspot with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.  SAR information on this model hotspot 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: Q78-MF51.
