Important safety/compliance information

Note: This USB modem 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 modem should not be used in configurations that cannot maintain at least 12 mm (~0.5") from users and bystanders. For example, this modem should not be used in certain laptop and tablet computers and configurations where the USB connectors are unable to provide or ensure the necessary separation is available between the modem and its users to satisfy compliance.

The design of the USB 598 modem complies with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure for portable devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S. and international standards bodies:

•ANSI / IEEE C95.1‐1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag‐ netic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz

•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure‐ ments (NCRP) Report 86, ‐1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

•Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz

•International Commission on Non‐Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998, Guidelines for limiting exposure to time‐varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)

FCC ID: N7NU598.

CAUTION: The USB 598 modem must be 1.2 cm or more from users during operation, to satisfy FCC RF exposure require‐ ments. The USB 598 modem has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with horizontal and vertical USB slots and can be used in laptop computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This USB modem must not be used with any
