FCC WARNING
Changes of modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
th i t
The available scientific evidence dose not show that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. The Mobile Terminal (S1596-01) has been tested and found to
comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy
(RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the Mobile Terminal (S1596-01) has been
shown to be 0.608 W/kg at body.
|This device should be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that is
does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety
Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb
NOTICE
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 commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
This class [A] digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
