Warning and Notice
Using Your Modem
• If inadequately shielded, some electronic
devices may be a󰀨ected by the
electromagnetic interference caused by
the modem, such as the electronic system
of vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of
such devices before using the modem if
necessary.
• Operating the modem may interfere with
medical instruments such as hearing aids
and pacemakers. Always keep the modem
more than 20 centimeters away from such
medical instruments when your modem is
turned on. Turn the modem o󰀨 if necessary.
Consult a physician or the manufacturers
of medical instruments before using the
modem if necessary.
• Be aware of the usage limitation when using
the modem at places such as oil warehouses
or chemical factories, where there are
explosive gases or explosive products being
processed. Turn o󰀨 the modem if necessary.
• Do not use electronic transmission devices
in aircrafts, at petrol stations or in hospitals.
Observe and obey all warning signs, and
turn o󰀨 the modem in these conditions.

9
• Do not touch the inner antenna area unless
it is necessary. Otherwise the performance
of the modern may be a󰀨ected.
• Keep the modem out of the reach of little
children. The modem may cause an injury if
used as a toy.
• When the modem is operating, do not touch
the metallic parts. Failing to do so may
cause burns.
• Use original accessories or accessories
that are authorized. Using any unauthorized
accessories may a󰀨ect the performance of
the modem and violate the related national
regulations about telecom terminals.
• Avoid using the modem near or inside
metallic structures or establishments that
can emit electromagnetic waves, because
signal reception may be a󰀨ected.
• The modem is not waterproof. Keep the
modem dry and store it in a shady and cool
place.
• Do not use the modem immediately after a
sudden temperature change. In such case
dew may be generated inside and outside
the modem, so do not use it until it becomes
dry.
• Handle the modem carefully. Do not drop,
bend or strike it. Otherwise the modem may
be damaged.

10
• Only qualied personnel can dismantle and
repair the modem.

FCC Regulations:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiated radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may 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 o󰀨 and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:

13
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit di󰀨erent from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.

FCC RF Exposure Information
(SAR)
This device is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the United
States.
During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit
at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands, and placed in positions that
simulate RF exposure in usage against the
head with no separation, and near the body with
the separation of 5 mm. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certied power level,
the actual SAR level of the while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This
is because the device is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

15
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certied power
level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on le with
the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: SRQ-MF833CA.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value
for near the body is 1.17 W/kg.
While there may be di󰀨erences between the SAR
levels of various devices and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement.
SAR compliance for body operation is based
on a separation distance of 5 mm between the
unit and the human body. Carry this device, at
least 5 mm away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported
level. To support body operation, choose the belt
clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 5 mm
between this and your body.

(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with
Canadian ICES-003.
