Important safety/compliance
information
The design of the AirCard 595 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: N7NAC595
CAUTION: The AirCard 595 has been tested for compliance with
FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configu‐
rations with the side loading PC Card slot and can be used in
laptop computers with substantially similar physical dimen‐
sions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This
PC card must not be co‐located or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter. Use of this device in any
other configuration may exceed the FCC RF Exposure
compliance limit. Note: If this PC Card is intended for use in
any other portable device, you are responsible for separate
approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of Part 2.1093 of FCC
rules.
