Federal Communications Commission notice
This device com plies 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 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
com munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause har mful
interference to radio or TV reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following m easures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and rec eiver.
Connect the eq uipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for
help.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or
modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by HTC
Corporation m ay void the users authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location complianc e
requirements with Bluetooth and WLA N.
This tran smitter must not be co-locate d or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Safety and regulatory guide 11
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environ m ent.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your wireless device has an internal antenna that emits radio freq uency
(RF) energy. Human exposure to RF energy has been and continues to
be the subject of scientific research. According to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), the weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell
phones with any health problem s.” You can acc ess this FDA publication
and other information on huma n exposure to RF energy at:

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
Your device has been designed to comply with applicable limits for RF
exposure. These limits use a unit of measurement called Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR, which refers to the rate at which the body
absorbs RF energy. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
has establish ed a SAR limit for mobile phones of 1.6 W/kg, which applies
in the United States and other countries that follow the FCCs SAR limit.
This limit is base d upon standards dev eloped by expert non-government
organizations, such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection an d
Measure m ents (NCRP), and input from other federal agen cies such as
the FDA and EPA. In countries that follow the Council of the European
Union, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg.
SAR testing is conducted with the device placed in common operating
positions (e.g., held against the head, worn on the body) and transmitting
at its highest certified power level in eac h frequency band of op eration.
Because the device is transmitting at its high est certified power level, SAR
tests capture a worst-case operating scenario and therefore often do not
reflect the amount of RF exposure during normal, everyday use. More
information on SAR testing is available on the FCCs website at
12 Safety and regulatory guide
http://www.fcc.gov/guides/wireless-devices-and-health-concerns
.
HTC Corp. submitted SAR test results demonstrating compliance with the
FCCs SAR limit for wireless devices as part of the FCCs equipment
certification proc ess for this de vice. These results can be accessed via the
FCCs equipm ent authorization database (found at
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/) by searching for the devices FCC ID:
NM80PKV100
.This device’s maximum SAR values as reported to the
FCC are:
Safety and regulatory guide 13
SAR information
Head: 0.453 W/kg@10g (CE), 0.724 W/kg@1g (FC C)
Body: 0.237 W/kg@ 10g (CE), 0.367 W/kg @ 1g (FCC)
Body-worn O peration
This device was tested for typical bo dy-worn operations. A minimum
separation distance must be m aintained b etween the us er’s body and the
handset, including the antenna:
1.5 cm to com ply with the RF exposure req uirements in Europe
1 cm to comply with the RF expos ure requirements in the U.S.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this
device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements may not co mply with RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided.
Use only the supplied or an approv ed antenn a. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone,
or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a dam aged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor
burn may res ult. Please contact your local dealer for replacement
antenna.
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety
information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom mends that a
minimum se paration of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacem aker. These reco mmendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recom mendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacem aker to minimize the potential
for interference. If you hav e any reason to sus pect that interference is
taking place, turn the phone O FF immediately.
