The design of the AirCard 595 PC Card 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 PC Card has been tested for
compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the laptop
computer(s) configurations with the side loading PC Card slot
and can be used in laptop computers with substantially similar
physical dimensions, 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 respon‐
sible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of
Part 2.1093 of FCC rules.
