D R A F T C O P Y Emergency Calls Please contact your service provider for the information about the availability of Emergency Calls. The MOBICARD M88 supports Emergency Calls with or without a SIM card inserted. However the M88 must be plugged into a computer or handheld device, powered up and have a headset plugged into it. If you are outside the coverage are of a GSM network, then Emergency Calls will not work. Do not rely on the M88 as your sole means of contacting Emergency Services. The procedure for generating an Emergency Call will depend on the application/service currently in use and the network you are connected to. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the appropriate procedures required to generate an Emergency Call. When connected to an Emergency Operator, you should have details of your telephone number and location on hand. M88 Safety Information The M88 is designed to operate only when plugged into a PCMCIA Type II PC card slot, within the confines of a computer or handheld device. The M88 derives its power from the computer or handheld power supply. Operation outside this environment, and/or with an alternative power supply, may infringe the type approval granted for this product, as well as potentially voiding the safety advice given below, and consequently should not be undertaken. The correct installation procedure for the card must be adhered to at all times. The module operates at SELV limits, and it is the installers responsibility to make sure that all hazardous voltages have been isolated from the SELV circuitry, and that all safety requirements have been met to the appropriate standards.

D R A F T C O P Y Further, it is the installers responsibility to ensure that the safety isolation barriers of the intended host equipment are not compromised by the installation of the card. The M88 radiates radio frequency signals in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands. The following recommendations are in line with guidelines concerning public exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy, issued by various European and International agencies. Unlike a mobile phone the transmitter on the M88 would not normally be used close to the head and therefore high field strength is not usually encountered. Using the M88 is similar to using a mobile with a handsfree kit. However, take care to avoid placing any part of your body in proximity to the antenna on the M88, while the M88 is operating.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user of a wireless device. The Federal Communications Commission of the United States Government sets SAR limits. The maximum allowed SAR value of 1.6W/kg allows for a substantial safety margin, designed to assure the safety of all persons. Tests for SAR values are conducted using FCC approved operating positions at the highest possible power levels. The actual SAR value while using this device is likely to be well below the maximum value. The highest reported SAR levels for this wireless PCMCIA card are in full compliance with the FCC limits. SAR compliance is limited to the accessories shipped with this product. FCC ID: P8D-C6M88I - 13 -
