Software Update
Replace the SIM card
Software or firmware updates for the mobile hotspot may
become available periodically. You will receive an alert when
an update becomes available, and you can check for updates
manually from the mobile hotspot or from the AT&T Mobile
Hotspot Manager homepage.
Once an update becomes available, you can load it immediately
or postpone installation for up to 12 hours. After 12 hours, the
update installs automatically.

4 hours reminding you that the update is available.
If you are updating now, a message will appear if your mobile
hotspot’s battery is low. Plug your mobile hotspot into your
wall charger, and then tap Begin. (This ensures the update
will complete without the device shutting off midway through
the update.)

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves.
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 mobile devices 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
Regulatory and Safety Information
53
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 device as reported to the FCC
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.0 8W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ
among device models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
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 and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/after searching on:
FCC ID: SRQ-MF923
SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation
distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry
this device, at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.
FCC Compliance
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate th
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.
・Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
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.
a) Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform,
puncture or shred

c) Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified
d) Only use the battery with a charging system that has
been qualified with the system per CTIA Certification
Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725.
Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
e) Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive
objects to contact battery terminals.
f) Replace the battery only with another battery that has been
qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725.
Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.
g) Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations
h) Battery usage by children should be supervised.
i) Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery
is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user
suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
j) Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other
hazard.
