CAUTION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated 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, can 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 power cord of the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that
is different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by MRV Communications,
Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

HUMAN EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Pursuant to 47 CFR § 24.52 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, personal communications services
(PCS) equipment is subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in §
1.1307(b), § 2.1091 and § 2.1093, as appropriate. Wavecom, Inc. certifies that it has determined that
the Modem complies with the RF hazard requirements applicable to broadband PCS equipment
operating under the authority of 47 CFR Part 24, Subpart E and 47 CFR Part 22, of the FCC Rules
and Regulations. This determination is dependent upon installation, operation and use of the
equipment in accordance with all instructions provided. The Modem is designed for and intended to
be used in fixed and mobile applications. "Fixed" means that the device is physically secured at one
location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. "Mobile" means that the device is
designed to be used in other than fixed locations and generally in such a way that a separation
distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter's antenna and the body of
the user or nearby persons. The Modem is not designed for or intended to be used in portable
applications (within 20 cm of the body of the user) and such uses are strictly prohibited. To ensure
that the Modem complies with current FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and
human exposure to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be
maintained between the unit's antenna and the body of the user and any nearby persons at all times
and in all applications and uses. Additionally, in mobile applications, maximum antenna gain must
not exceed 3 dBi for 1900 MHz operations and -0.5 dB for 850 MHz operations.
EXPORT NOTICE
