SAR certification information
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) maximum results found during testing for the AD3700 are as follows (with
expanded uncertainty 21.9%):
SAR
GSM850
SAR
(W/kg)
GSM1900
SAR
(W/kg)
WCDMA
Band V
(W/kg)
WCDMA
Band II
(W/kg)
CDMA2000

(W/kg)
CDMA2000
PCS
(W/kg)
Body 0.851 0.603 0.423 1.3 0.391 0.716
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only
uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of mobile devices.
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure. To ensure compliance with RF
exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a minimum of 1.5 cm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the
following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of modems. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by
limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep modems away from the head and body.

FCC Regulations:
This modem complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This modem has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation if this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
z
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
z
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
