(For FCC-related matters only.) 858-942-2230 This device 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. FCC Information This equipment 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 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) that comply with FCC Class B limits may be attached to this computer product. Operation with noncompliant peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception. All cables used to connect peripherals must be shielded and grounded. Operation with cables connected to peripherals that are not shielded and grounded may result in interference to radio and television reception. 8 4900_LegalSafety.fm Page 9 Friday, April 3, 2009 11:41 AM Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (United States) For models with the wireless WAN function only The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long distance transmission charges.) In order to program this information into your facsimile machine, see your fax software documentation. Industry Canada Notice This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Avis de LIndustrie Canada Cet appareil numrique de la classe B est conforme la norme NMB-003 du Canada. FCC/IC Radio Frequency Exposure The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The following models (Table 1) that are conformitied have been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

(FCC) Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website.

(IC) Please refer to the information that consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's Website. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant condition. Users are not permitted to modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized changes made to this device could void your authority to operate this device. 9 4900_LegalSafety.fm Page 10 Friday, April 3, 2009 11:41 AM Exposition aux radiofrquences FCC/IC Selon les preuves scientifiques disponibles, aucun problme de sant n'est associ l'utilisation d'appareils sans fil de faible puissance. Rien ne prouve cependant que ces appareils sont absolument sans danger. Lorsqu'ils sont utiliss, les appareils sans fil de faible puissance mettent de faibles niveaux d'nergie radiofrquence (RF) dans la gamme des hyperfrquences. Bien que les niveaux levs de radiofrquence puissent avoir un effet sur la sant

(rchauffement des tissus), l'exposition de faibles niveaux n'ayant pas d'effet thermique n'a aucun impact ngatif connu sur la sant. De nombreuses tudes sur l'exposition aux radiofrquences de faible niveau n'ont rvl aucun effet biologique. Certaines d'entre elles ont sous-entendu qu'il pourrait y avoir de tels effets, mais leurs rsultats n'ont pas t confirms par des recherches supplmentaires. Les modles suivants (Tableau 1) ont t tests et se sont avrs conformes aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements dfinies par la FCC et IC pour les quipements non contrls ; ils rpondent aux rgles sur l'exposition aux rayonnements RF (radiofrquence) figurant dans le Supplment C de la norme OET65 de la FCC et celles de la norme RSS-102 d'IC.

Lutilisation de ce dispositif est autorise seulement aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) lutilisateur du dispositif doit tre prt accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique reu, mme si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif. 10 4900_LegalSafety.fm Page 11 Friday, April 3, 2009 11:41 AM Personal Medical Devices For models with the wireless WAN function only When Wireless WAN (EV-DO module) power is transmitting, it may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted medical devices. If a minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) is kept between the PC and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is reduced. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off the WAN feature. Contact your cardiologist for more information. For other medical devices, please consult the manufacture of the device. Emergency Calls For models with the wireless WAN function only The embedded EV-DO module does not support voice calls.
