The design of this product complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.Next-to-Mouth and Wrist-worn operationThis device was tested for typical Wrist-worn operations with the back of the device kept 0 inches (0cm) between the user’s Wrist and the back of the device.And this device was tested for typical Next-to-Mouth(Face) operations with the front of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s mouth(Face) and the front of the device.To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s mouth(Face) and the front of the device.Any accessories containing metallic components may not be used.
Safety Information 13Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) valuesYour product is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless products employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for wrist watch used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue or 4.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over ten gram of tissue.Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the product transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the product during operation can be well below the maximum value.Because the product is designed to operate at multiple power levels and to use only the power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for this model product when tested for use at Next-to-Mouth(Face) is 0.29 W/kg(1g) and for Wrist-worn is 2.42 W/kg(10g).While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model product with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.SAR information on this model product is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFW281 .
Safety Information 14Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/.* Product meets current FCC Radio Frequency Exposure GuidelinesFCC ID : ZNFW281 Part 15.19 statement General RequirementThis device complies with part 15 of 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.Part 15.21 statementChanges or Modifications that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Part15.105 statementThis 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.
