Warning and Precautions

Electronic Device
Turn off your device near high-precision electronic devices. The wireless device may affect the performance of these devices. Such devices include hearing aids, pacemakers, fire alarm systems, automatic gates, and other automatic devices. If you are using an electronic medical device, consult the device manufacturer to confirm whether the radio wave affects the operation of this device.
Hospital
Pay attention to the following points in hospitals or healthcare facilities:

Do not take your wireless device into the operating room, intensive care unit, or coronary care unit.

Radio waves
· SAR and radio waves for CE
This device meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded.

Body-Worn SAR| LTE Band 3| 1.62 W/kg (5mm)

When carrying the product or using it while worn on your body, either use an approved accessory such as a holster or otherwise maintain a distance of 5 mm from the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements.
For more information, you can go to www. alcatelmobile.com.
· Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Declaration of Conformity
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital, 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 to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. – Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. **FCC Caution:** Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR):
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States.
During SAR testing, this is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with a separation of 14 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of HYPERLINK “http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid” www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJB173.
The highest SAR value for this model USB Dongle when tested is 1.32 W/Kg for use close to the body.
For body-worn operation, the device meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the USB Dongle at least 14 mm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use or reduce the amount of time spent on the device.
