Federal Communication Commission

Interference Statement

15.21

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15.105(b)

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

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.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Appendix C: Important Safety Information and Glossary

62

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 of the device.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:

1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a

minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.

2G:

Second-generation mobile networking technology. Represents a switchover from

analog to digital; most 2G networks use GSM.

3G:

Third-generation mobile networking technology that enables simultaneous

transfer of voice and non-voice data; most 3G networks use WCDMA.

3.5G:

A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses

HSDPA.

3.75G:

A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses

HSUPA.

APN (Access Point Name/Network):

Provides GPRS routing information. Consists

of:

Network ID: Identi

fi

es the external service requested by a GPRS user.

Mobile network operator ID: Speci

fi

es routing information.

ARFCN (Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number):

The speci

fi

c ID numbers

for all radio channels used in cellular mobile communications.

bps (bits per second):

How data

fl

ow is measured.

CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol):

CHAP identifiers are

changed frequently and authentication can be requested by the server at any

time.

DNS (Domain Name System):

Helps route network traf

c by making the addressing

process more user-friendly.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Con

fi

guration Protocol):

How devices obtain IP addresses

from a server.

DUN (Dial-Up Network):

Windows component that enables online access via a

modem.

EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment/Enhanced Data for Global Evolution):

Advanced GPRS that delivers multimedia and other data needing greater

bandwidth at up to 237 kbps.

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service):

Delivers data in packets at up to 86 kbps.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications):

The most popular cellular

network, mostly operates in 850-900 or 1800-1900 MHz; the primary 2G system.

HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access):

Advanced WCDMA that delivers

downlink bandwidth intensive data at up to 7.2Mbps; typically associated with

3.5G.

HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access):

Advanced WCDMA that delivers

uplink bandwidth intensive data at up to 5.76Mbps; typically associated with

3.75G.

PAP (Password Authentication Protocol):

The difference between PAP

authentication and a manual or scripted login, is that PAP is not interactive. The

username and password are entered in the client's dialing software and sent as

one data package as soon as the modems have established a connection, rather

than the server sending a login prompt and waiting for a response.
