The USB 598 modem has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. 
Integrators may use the USB 598 modem in their final products without additional 
FCC / IC certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, additional 
FCC / IC approvals must be obtained.

At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body 
must be maintained at all times.

To comply with FCC / IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power 
and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including 
cable loss in a mobile-only exposure condition must not exceed 2.4 dBi in the 
cellular band and 2.0 dBi in the PCS band.

The USB 598 modem and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in 
conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna within a host device.

A label must be affixed to the outside of the end product into which the USB 
598 modem is incorporated, with a statement similar to the following:

N7NU598

.

This equipment contains equipment certified under IC: 

2417C-U598

.

A user manual with the end product must clearly indicate the operating 
requirements and conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance 
with current FCC / IC RF exposure guidelines.

The end product with an embedded USB 598 modem may also need to pass the 
FCC Part 15 unintentional emission testing requirements and be properly 
authorized per FCC Part 15.
