RF Exposure/Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
FCC Equipment Authorization ID: PKRNVWCC760
Your wireless modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for wireless devices including mobile wireless modems uses a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions reviewed by the FCC with the device under test transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before this device is made available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC RF
exposure limit. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear or worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model.
THE FCC HAS GRANTED AN EQUIPMENT AUTHORIZATION FOR THIS WIRELESS MODEM WITH ALL REPORTED
SAR LEVELS EVALUATED AS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. THE HIGHEST SAR
VALUE FOR THIS MODEM WHEN TESTED FOR COMPLIANCE AGAINST FCC STANDARDS WAS 1.179 W/KG
USER-LAP POSITION.
