the device to reset. If the software is not operational after an ESD, restart the software application.
Agency/Regulatory Information
The wireless device is approved for use in many regions of the world. In these regions, the device
meets all radio frequency exposure requirements. The following approvals and notices apply in
specific regions as noted.
CE Approval (European Union)
The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU. Huawei declares that the
wireless device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the
Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive).
Radio Frequency Exposure Warning
To ensure compliance at all times with the R&TTE Directive* 1999/5/EC, this product requires a
minimum distance of 20 cm from the body when in operation.
* The general public RF exposure limits referenced in the R&TTE Directive are consistent with the
published Guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1998. ICNIRP is a formally recognized non-governmental organization in Non-Ionising Radiation
Protection for the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
and the European Union (EU). For more information, visit the ICNIRP website at www.icnirp.de.
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).
11
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising
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 you use 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 not exceed the limit
established by the European Council Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe exposure.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten gram of
tissue. The highest SAR value for this device type when tested is 0.527 W/kg.
[EN 50361 scope states "This basic standard applies to any electromagnetic field (EM) transmitting
devices intended to be used with the radiating part of the equipment in close proximity to the
human ear including mobile phones, cordless phones, etc. The frequency range is 300 MHz to 3
GHz. Therefore, the above text does not address primary use of the wireless device product.]
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 1.09W/kg [There is no reference to the specific reference standard or its applicability to the
intended use of the product.]
