the device meets all radio frequency exposure
requirements. The following approvals and
notices apply in specific regions as noted.
5
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
To ensure compliance at all times with the
R&TTE Directive* 1999/5/EC, the wireless
device can be held in the hand but still
requires a minimum distance of 1.5 cm from
the body when in operation. For body-worn
use, it must be suitably mounted so that it is at
least 1.5 cm away from the body. Mounting
accessories (for example, belt clips) cannot be
made of metal. Do not put the wireless device
in your pocket.
* The general public RF exposure limits
referenced in the R&TTE Directive are
consistent with the published Guidelines of
the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing 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).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g.
ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing 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
using 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
6
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 0.927 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 1.28 W/kg.
[There is no reference to the specific reference
standard or its applicability to the intended use
of the product]
