FAQ

How to judge whether E220 is correctly connected to the PC?
After you connect E220 to the PC, two device icons are displayed in the device
manager, namely, “HUAWEI Mobile Connect-3G Modem” and “HUAWEI
Mobile Conncet-3G PC UI Interface”.
If a yellow exclamatory mark or other signs are displayed in front of the icons, it
indicates that E220 is not correctly connected. You need to connect E220 again.
What to do if E220 fails to connect to the Internet?
1 Make sure that E220 is in the service area and the network signal is normal.
2 Make sure you have subscribed to the wireless access service. For details,
consult your service provider.
3 If you have subscribed to the wireless access service, refer to "Internet
Service" to configure the network settings.
Only part of the message is displayed after I use the “Paste” function
to edit it. Why?
A text message can contain up to 1,000 characters. If the size of the pasted part
exceeds the limit, the exceeding part is auto deleted.
When there is a new message, no alert window is displayed. Why?
Make sure that you have enabled the alert window function.
Select Settings > Options. Then select the Prompt tab and select the Display
alerts when a message is received check box in Message Alerts Settings.
After Mobile Connect is launched, the system prompts “There are
some unread messages in USIM/SIM card. Do you want to import
them to the computer?” After I select “No”, what if I want to import
the message?
Select File > Import Message from USIM/SIM Card to import messages to
Mobile Connect from the USIM/SIM card.

Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
running, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio
waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure for the public. The levels include a safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for
any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of
radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the wireless device while operating can be
well below the value. This is because the wireless device is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei’s wireless device are designed to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines such as European Council Recommendation and Federal
Communications Commission Notice (United States).
European Council Recommendation: Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested according to the technical
standard-EN 50361 and does not exceed the limit established by the European
Council Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe exposure. l.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
54

HUAWEI

14 Warnings and Precautions
averaged over ten gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device type
when tested is 1.20 W/kg.
Federal Communications Commission Notice (United States): Before a
wireless device model is available for sale to the public, 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.
The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC
and IC for this device type when tested for use is 0.59 W/kg.

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.
y Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
y
y

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

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. 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.
Warning:
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved
by HUAWEI may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
