1. Safety and Use
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your modem. The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence
of improper use of the modem or of use contrary to the instructions contained
herein.
Traffic Safety
When driving, do not use the modem:
When switched on, the modem emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere
with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To
ensure that there is no problem, please do not place the modem on top of the
dashboard or within an airbag deployment area.
Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the
dashboard is adequately shielded from modem RF energy.
Conditions of Use
1. Switch the modem off before boarding an aircraft.
2. Switch the modem off when you are in health care facilities, except in
designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use,
mobile Tele-modems can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or
equipment-using radio frequencies.
3. Switch the modem off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey
all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, chemical plant,
or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
4. When the modem is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any
medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc.
5. Do not let children use the modem without supervision. The modem may
contain small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.
6. When replacing the cover, please note that the modem may contain substances
that could create an allergic reaction.
7. Always handle the modem with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
8. Do not allow the modem to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental
conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc). The
manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -10°C to +50°C.
9. Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair the modem yourself.
10. Do not drop, throw or bend the modem.

3
11. Do not paint the modem.
Collection Point:
This symbol on the modem means that it must be taken to collection points at
the end of their life:
Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items of equipment
Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the
environment, so that their components can be reused.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this symbol must be brought to these collection points.
In non European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your
jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they
are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.
In the United States, please visit www.recyclewirelessphones.org for more
information on recycling wireless products.
Protection against theft
The modem is identified by an IMEI (modem serial number) shown on the packaging
label and in the modem’s dashboard. We recommend that you note the number the
first time you use the modem by opening the dashboard “Settings” > “Diagnostics” to
get it.
Disclaimer
There may be certain differences between the user manual description and the
modem’s operation, depending on the software release of the modem or specific
operator services.

12. Certification
www.sar-tick.com
This product meets applicable national SAR limits of 2.0W/kg.
The specific maximum SAR values can be found in the following section of this user
guide.
When carrying the product or using it while worn on your body, either use an
approved accessory such as a holster or otherwise maintain a distance of 5mm
from the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements. Note that the
product may be transmitting even if you are not making a phone call.
CE: 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 DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The USB-Modem is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an
independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The

16
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which
it was recorded.
Body-worn SAR
GSM900
0.648W/Kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize
interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is
automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 5mm. To
meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be
positioned at least this distance away from the body. If you are not using an
approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and
that it positions the phone the indicated distance away from the body.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They
recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure then you can
easily do so by limiting your usage or keep the device away from the head and body.
For more information you can go to www.alcatelonetouch.com
Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available
on the following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf
The USB-Modem is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you
should avoid touching it or degrading it.
