Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Understanding How Your NETGEAR 341U USB Modem Operates Your device is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's plugged in, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your device, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 1x10-8 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode]. Knowing Radio Frequency Safety The design of your device complies with updated NCRP standards described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). RF Exposure To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, ensure the device is at least 0.4 inches (1.0 centimeters) from your body at all times. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at fcc.gov. Important Safety Information 5
