Radio Waves
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European Directive
1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all modem models before they can be put on the market.
The protection of the health and safety for the user and any other person is an essential
requirement of these standards or this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The USB-Modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by
international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific
organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values
under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
