    CFR Title 47, Part 15 and Part 90. This includes Elec- tromagnetic Energy Exposure (EME) testing. As the WDE1000/1100 is not a stand-alone modem but is a PC card/Mini PCI, the WDE1000/1100 cannot be tested by itself for EME certification and was tested while inserted in a laptop computer.
  • Page 4 Before a WDE1000 model is available for sale to the pub- lic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
  • Page 5 This product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit. If your WDE1000/1100 interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the WDE1000/1100 and void the warranty.

  • Page 6: Warranty Information

    Shake excess liquid from WDE1000/1100. Place the WDE1000/1100 in an area that is at room temperature and has good air flow. Let the WDE1000/1100 dry for 72 hours before power- ing on again.
