Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved byShanghai Huace Navigation Technology Ltd. may void the FCC authorization tooperate this equipment.NOTE: 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 protectionagainst harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and canradiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, maycause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interferencewill not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged 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 isconnected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.The SAR limit adopted by USA (FCC) is 1.6 Watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.Device types (FCC ID: SY4-B01003) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SARvalue reported under this standard during product certification for GSM mode is 0.86 W/kg. The highestSAR value reported under this standard during product certification for 2.4GHz WLAN mode is 0.16W/kg. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for simultaneousmode is 1.02 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of thehandset kept 0 cm from the body.To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 0 cmseparation distance between the user’s body and the back of handset. The use of belt clips, holstersand similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use ofaccessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposurerequirements, and should be avoided.
