Warning and Notice
To the Owner
If inadequately shielded, some electronic devices may be affected by the
electromagnetic interference caused by the modem, such as the electronic
system of vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of such devices before using
the modem if necessary.
Operating the modem may interfere with medical instruments such as hearing
aids and pacemakers. Always keep the modem more than 20 centimeters
19
away from such medical instruments when your modem is turned on. Turn
the modem off if necessary. Consult a physician or the manufacturers of
medical instruments before using the modem if necessary.
Be aware of the usage limitation when using the modem at places such as oil
warehouses or chemical factories, where there are explosive gases or
explosive products being processed. Turn off the modem if necessary.
Do not use electronic transmission devices in aircrafts, at petrol stations or in
hospitals. Observe and obey all warning signs, and turn off the modem in
these conditions.
Do not touch the inner antenna area unless it is necessary. Otherwise the
performance of the modern may be affected.
Keep the modem out of the reach of little children. The modem may cause an
injury if used as a toy.
When the modem is operating, do not touch the metallic parts. Failing to do
so may cause burns.
Using Your USB Modem
Use original accessories or accessories that are authorized. Using any
unauthorized accessories may affect the performance of the modem and
violate the related national regulations about telecom terminals.
20
Avoid using the modem near or inside metallic structures or establishments
that can emit electromagnetic waves, because signal reception may be
affected.
The modem is not waterproof. Keep the modem dry and store it in a shady
and cool place.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
23
This device 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 device
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 device 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
device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device 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. SAR compliance has been
established in the host product(s) (laptop computers), tested at 5mm separation
distance to the human body, and tested with USB slot configurations including
Horizontal-UP, Horizontal-Down, Vertical-Front, Vertical-Back. This device can
be used in host product(s) with substantially similar physical dimensions,
construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. The highest SAR value,
tested per FCC RF exposure guidelines for USB dongle, as described in this
user guide, is 1.39 W/kg. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC
24
and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-MF861
FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
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
25
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.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
