FCC Regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
This device 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 radiated 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.
-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/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate
the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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 the United States.
During SAR testing, this is set to transmit at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions
that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the
separation of 0 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
The exposure standard for wirelesss employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC
ID: YHLBLULIFEVIEWT.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the
body is 1.39 W/kg.
SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation
distance of 0 mm between the unit and the human body.
