26Safety informationSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification informationYour device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg.During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.XXXW/kg1. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorisation for this model device based on the compliance of all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The authorisation can be found on the FCC Office or Engineering and Technology website at www.fcc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L and product code GTP8510).When carrying the product or using it while worn on the body maintain a distance of 5 mm from the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements.1. When used with accessories that contain no metal and provide at least 1.5cm separation between the device (including the antenna, whether extended or reacted) and the wearer’s body.
