RF Exposure/Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for
exposure to radio waves.
FCC Equipment Authorization ID: PKRNVWMC760
Your wireless modem 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 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 devices including mobile USB Modems and
wireless modems 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 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 USB Modem or
modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the USB 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
wireless base 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.
THE FCC HAS GRANTED AN EQUIPMENT AUTHORIZATION FOR THIS WIRELESS
MODEM WITH ALL REPORTED SAR LEVELS EVALUATED AS IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE FCC RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. THE HIGHEST SAR VALUE FOR THIS MODEM
WHEN TESTED FOR COMPLIANCE AGAINST FCC STANDARDS WAS 1.54 W/KG
USER-LAP POSITION.
