Note: This USB modem is approved for use in normal-size laptop computers
only (typically with 12" or larger display screens). To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, this modem should not be used in configurations that
cannot maintain at least 12 mm (~0.5") from users and bystanders. For
example, this modem should not be used in certain laptop and tablet
computers and configurations where the USB connectors are unable to
provide or ensure the necessary separation is available between the modem
and its users to satisfy compliance.

The design of the USB 598 modem complies with U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (
Communications Commission (
) and Industry Canada (IC)
guidelines respecting safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure
for portable devices, which in turn are consistent with the following
safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S. and international
standards bodies:

CAUTION: The USB 598 modem must be 1.2 cm or more from users
during operation, to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. The
USB 598 modem has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF
exposure limits in the laptop computer(s) configurations with
horizontal and vertical USB slots (see the drawings on the next page)
and can be used in laptop computers with substantially similar
physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF
characteristics. This USB modem must not be used with any other
antenna or transmitter that has not been approved to operate in
conjunction with this modem. Note: This USB modem must not be
used in any unapproved configurations. For details, contact Sierra
