Important safety/compliance
information
The design of the AirCard 402 modem complies with U.S.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry
Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of radio
frequency (RF) exposure for portable devices, which in turn
are consistent with the following safety standards previously
set by Canadian, U.S. and international standards bodies:
•
ANSI / IEEE C95.1‐1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag‐
netic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure‐
ments (NCRP) Report 86, ‐1986, Biological Effects and
Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
•
Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human
Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
•
International Commission on Non‐Ionising Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998, Guidelines for limiting exposure to
time‐varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up
to 300 GHz)
FCC ID: N7NAC402.
CAUTION: The AirCard 402 modem must be 1.2 cm or more
from users during operation, to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements. It is recommended to use the AirCard 402
modem in a PC Card slot whenever possible. If the laptop
computer has two slots, it is recommended to use the upper
slot for optimum modem performance. When the AirCard 402
modem is inserted into the laptop computer during lap held
usage, it is recommended that the antenna portion of the
AirCard 402 modem be moved away from the leg to ensure the
maximum data rate is available to the user. The AirCard 402
modem has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF
exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with
the side loading ExpressCard or PC Card slot and can be used
in laptop computers with substantially similar physical dimen‐
sions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This
modem must not be used with any other antenna or trans‐
