RF Exposure
Your device contains a transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy.
When your device is in use, the system handling
your connection controls the power level at which
your device transmits.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits
for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientic
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit for wireless devices is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/
kg) and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested complied with this limit.
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radio
frequency radiation (RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines
the device must be used with a minimum of 5 mm
separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result
in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant
guideline limits.

CE Approval (European Union)
The wireless device is approved to be used in
the member states of the EU. The manufacturer
declares that the wireless device is in compliance
with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of the radio equipment
directive 2014/53/EU .
FCC Statement

supported)
Federal Communications Commission Notice
(United States): Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure.
The SAR limit for USB Modems adopted by the
USA is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value
reported to the FCC for this device type was
compliant with this limit.
IK41VE
FCC ID: 2ACCJB113
The highest SAR value for this
model USB Stick when tested is 1.04
W/Kg for use close to the body.
IK41UD
FCC ID: 2ACCJB114
The highest SAR value for this
model USB Stick when tested is 1.34
W/Kg for use close to the body.
IK41US
FCC ID: 2ACCJB115
The highest SAR value for this
model USB Stick when tested is 1.39
W/Kg for use close to the body.
IK41CQ
FCC ID: 2ACCJB116
The highest SAR value for this
model USB Stick when tested is 1.23
W/Kg for use close to the body.
For body-worn operation, the USB Stick meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used
with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at
least 5 mm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
