28 Section 3B. Regulatory Information
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 cards and 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 that it
does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
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.
