FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE


In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this modem complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair connection quality, damage the modem, or result in violation of FCC regulations. This Telstra Turbo Modem has been tested for FCC RF exposure hand and body SAR compliance with the USB3-8521 USB Modem form factor. In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the Telstra Turbo Modem must be operated with USB3-8521 USB Modem form factor.. The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. During operation, a 1.5cm separation distance should be maintained between the antenna, whether extended or retracted, and the users/bystanders body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance.
