distance of 5mm. While there may be difference between the SAR levels on
various modems and at various positions, they all meet the relevant
International guidelines and EU requirement for RF (radio-waves) exposure.
For body-worn operation, the modem meets EU exposure guidelines provided
that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5cm
from the body.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for 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 (fact sheet n° 193).

Although no danger relating to the use of modem was ever proved, the World
Health Organization advises as a precautionary measure to use your modem
with a good level of network reception as indicated on the software display (4
to 5 bars). It is also advised to keep the modem, during communications,
away from the belly of pregnant women and from the lower abdomen for
teenagers.
The modem is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you
should avoid touching it or degrading it.

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in
positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device
will be compliant with the guidelines when used with HSPA Modem. If you
are not using HSPA Modem ensure that whatever product is used is free of
any metal and that it positions the phone at least 2cm away from the
