This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
Federal Communications Commission (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

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
theU.S.Government.
The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
setbytheFCCis1.6W/kg.TestsforSARareconductedusing
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT
transmitting at the specied power level in dierent channels.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is
1.23W/kgwhenplacednexttothebody.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is
