CAUTION: The Compass 597 USB modem has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC
RF exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with a horizontal USB slot and
can be used in laptop computers with substantially similar physical dimensions,
construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This USB modem must not be co-
located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Use of this device in any other configuration may exceed the FCC RF Exposure
compliance limit. NOTE: If this USB modem is intended for use in any other portable
device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of Part
