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: PKRNVWMC727
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 USB Modems 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 USB Modem or modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
USB Modem 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.
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.
