RF Exposure
Your device contains a radio transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When
your device is in use, the system handling your connection
controls the power level at which your device transmits.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed
to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for wireless
devices is 2 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this device
when tested complied with this limit.
Product Safety Information
Please read this safety information before you use the
device. Following the warnings will help prevent injury to
yourself or others and damage to your device.

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 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.

Interference
Care must be taken when using the device in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a device
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices
or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce
the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your device may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so
in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests

to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices
on board the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘ight mode’ this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of device in their vehicles unless an external
antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments
Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey
all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your
device or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include
fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
