HSPA Modem Installation Guide

In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) require‐
ments, many airline regulations state that you must sus‐
pend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The
modem is capable of transmitting signals that could inter‐
fere with various onboard systems and controls.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension
or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender,
legal action, or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while
the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The
modem may be used normally at this time.

While operating a vehicle
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a
wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so
detracts from the driver or operatorʹs ability to control and
operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such commu‐
nications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

The design of the Compass 885/888 and AirCard 501 modems
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, 3 kHz 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
•
