The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs 
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). 
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the 
human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC 
requires devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram 
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin 
of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for 
any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power 
level in all tested 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 a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be 
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure 
limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model device are 
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the 
body) as required by the FCC.  
The highest SAR values for this model modem as reported to the FCC 
are: 

GSM1900 Body: 

1.33

 W/Kg

.

This USB modem has demonstrated compliance with FCC RF exposure    
limits in laptop computer configurations with side loading USB slots, 
and can be used in laptop computers with sub-stantially similar
