Unauthorized modi

cations or changes not expressly approved by
Sierra Wireless, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and
thereby your authority to use this equipment.
The design of the WWAN module 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 Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (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
fi
elds (up to 300 GHz)

The WWAN module has been evaluated for compliance with FCC/IC RF exposure
limits in this laptop con
fi
guration. This WWAN module must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter other than the
transmitters that have been approved with this laptop. Use of this device in any
other con
fi
guration may exceed the FCC RF Exposure compliance limit.
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
The available scienti
fi
c evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices
are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
fi
ndings have not
been con
fi
rmed by additional research. The WWAN and the WLAN radio devices have been tested
and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment
and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
