Radio Waves:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all Modem models before they can
be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the user and
any other person is an essential requirement of these standards or this
directive.
THIS MODEM COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS
REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The Modem is a radio transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured
to comply with the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by
international requirements (ICNIRP)
1
and by the Council of the European
Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC)

These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised
radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by
independent groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed scientific
assessments. They include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the
safety of all, regardless of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for modems is determined by a measurement unit
known as the Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”. The SAR limit is set by
international requirements or by the Council of the European Union at 2
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.
The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of
standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at their maximum power
level over the entire range of frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR
level for the modem during use is generally much lower than the maximum
values. In fact, since modems are designed to operate at many different
power levels, they only use the minimum level of power required to provide a
connection to the network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station
antenna, the lower the power level required by the modem.
The highest tested SAR value for this modem compliance against the standard
is 1.703W/kg for use at the ear and 0.747W/kg for use closed to the body

The ICNIRP requirements are applicable in the following regions: Central America (except Mexico), South
America, North and South Africa, Pacific Asia (except Korea), Australia.

The European recommendation (1999/519/EC) is applicable in the following regions: Europe, Israel.
