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.

Federal Communications Commission Notice (FCC -- United States)
Electronic devices, including computers and wireless modems, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are therefore subject to FCC rules and regulations.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device peripheral, pursuant to Part 15, 22, and 24 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 the 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/television technician for help
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•
•
This device may not not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
FCC guidelines stipulate that the antenna should be more than 1.8 cm from the user.
The highest reported SAR values of the AirCard 597E ExpressCard by Sierra Wireless are:
1. Separation distance of at least 1.8 cm needs to be maintained to user’s lap with the AirCard 597E
ExpressCard inserted into the bottom ExpressCard slot of the notebook computer (1.0 mW/g).
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sierra Wireless could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
WARNING (EMI) - Canada: This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de
Classe B préscrites dans la norme sur le materiel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par le ministre des Communications.
If you have purchased this product under a United States Government contract, it shall be subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of Defense Federal Acquisitions Regulations (DFARs) Section 252.227-7013 for
Department of Defense contracts, and as set forth in Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FARs) Section 52.227-19 for civilian agency contracts or any successor regulations. If further government regulations apply, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with such regulations.
