REGULATORY NOTICES
This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
FCC Equipment Authorization ID: NBZNRM-U740
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 phones 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 phone or modem while operating can
be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone or 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. The highest SAR value for this modem when tested for compliance
against FCC standards was
0.857W/kg
