Emergency Call This wireless device functions through receiving and transmitting radio signals. Therefore, the connection cannot be guaranteed in all conditions. In an emergency, you should not rely solely on the wireless device for essential communications. 11 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) THIS USB STICK MEETS THE GOVERNMENTS REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 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 mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are conducted 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 device model is 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this USB Stick when tested for use when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.518 W/Kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government's requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this USB Stick with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this USB Stick is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: QISE181.Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin 12 of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Exposure to RF Energy Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the USB Stick is in use. Do not move the antenna close to, or touching any exposed part of the body when making a call. FCC Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. 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. Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by (manufacturer name) may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits to 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 can radiate 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:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. CAUTION:
13 The USB Stick was tested on all four sides of the unit with the bottom and one side being installed in a laptop. The top and other side was on a USB extension cable. The device can be used in notebook computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. If this USB Stick is intended for use in any other portable device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of Part 2.1093 of FCC rules. If the USB Stick is indented for use in any mobile device, a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body must be kept. This transmitter and its antenna(s) must not be located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter. RF Exposure Compliance Requirements This USB Stick is approved for use in normal size laptop computers only (typically with 12 or larger display screens). To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this Stick should not be used in configurations that cannot maintain at least 13mm (approximately 0.5 ) from users and bystanders;
for example, in certain laptop and tablet computers and configurations where the USB connectors on the host computer are unable to provide or ensure the necessary separation between the Stick and its users or bystanders to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements. 14 12 MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY Personal Communications Devices, LLC.
