Regulatory Notices
The design of the AirCard 597E ExpressCard complies with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
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 U.S. and international standards bodies:
• ANSI / IEEE C95.1-1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological Effects
and Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic
Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998, Guidelines for limiting
exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)
FCC ID: N7NAC597E
CAUTION: The AirCard 597E ExpressCard has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the
notebook computer(s) configurations with the side loading ExpressCard slot and can be used in notebook computers
with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This ExpressCard
must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Use of this device in any
other configuration may exceed the FCC RF Exposure compliance limit. Note: If this ExpressCard is intended for use
in any other portable device, you are responsible for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of Part
2.1093 of FCC rules.
