Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1.
This device may not cause harmful interference.
2.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Modifying this equipment without Cisco’s authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

Note This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Radio Notice
lists the FCC radio certification identification numbers for the 3G wireless HWIC antennas.
This radio module has been certified in accordance with FCC regulations as referenced in 47 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 22 and 24. These systems require a FCC operators license before operation under these technical rules is allowed.
It is the responsibility of the user to select an antenna which adheres to the following gain restrictions as specified below:
To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 8 dBi in the cellular band and 4 dBi in the PCS band.
To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 5 dBi in the cellular band and 4.1 dBi in the PCS band.
To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 5 dBi in the cellular band and 4 dBi in the PCS band.
RF Radiation Exposure
The 3G HWICs have been evaluated for Radio Frequency Exposure Levels for Humans in accordance with the various regulatory requirements world wide. The systems have been evaluated and found compliant with the limits as referenced in the International Electrical Engineering and Electronics (IEEE) C95. 1 standard (99) and the International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) limits.
The HWIC’s have been evaluated as a mobile device and such based on the evaluation per that criteria and in compliance with the various international guidelines, Cisco recommends that the antennas be mounted a minimum of 25cm (9.9 inches) away from the general public.
According to the World Health Organization, all research reviews conducted so far have indicated that exposures below the limits recommended in the ICNIRP (1998) EMF guidelines, covering all currently used radio frequencies, do not produce any known adverse health effect.
In the US, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment.
This radio has been evaluated and meets the requirements for operation in the uncontrolled environment as referenced in 47 CFR Part 1.1310. This limit is based on the limits recommended by American National Standards Institute C95.1 (1999).
Additional information can be found at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
In some cases with the use of high gain antennas, an Environmental Assessment in accordance with 47 CFR Part 1.1307 may be required before the system can be operated. Note other restrictions on the use of high gain antennas may also exist, please consult section on antenna’s
