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.
