Section 1: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using your device. The
terms “device” or “mobile device” are used in this section to refer to your device.
Read this information before using your mobile device.
Note:
Carefully slide out the card compartment cover to gain access to the internal
card slots. Any internal cards should be securely inserted with the label side up
(connectors down).

Health and Safety Information 3
This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi
™
mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The
FCC requires that devices operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used
indoors, not outside, in order to avoid interference with Mobile Satellite Services
(MSS). Therefore, this device is restricted from being used outdoors when operating
in frequencies between 5.15-5.25 GHz.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification
Information
Your wireless mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
T677V
4
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of
watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
T677V
Health and Safety Information 5
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating can be well below
the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as 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 of the mobile device.
Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC.
Tests for each model mobile device are performed in positions and locations (e.g.
near the body) as required by the FCC.
T677V
Health and Safety Information 7
SAR information on this and other model mobile devices can be accessed online on
the FCC's website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html
. To find information that pertains to a
particular model mobile device, this site uses the mobile device FCC ID number,
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the mobile device.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular mobile device, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular mobile device. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at
www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.

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.

Caution! Some applications or prolonged usage may increase device temperature.
Prolonged skin contact with a device that is hot to the touch may produce
skin discomfort or redness, or low-temperature burns. If the device feels hot
to the touch, discontinue use and close all applications or turn off the device
until it cools. Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air
flow. Covering the device with bedding, your body, thick clothing or any
other materials that significantly affect air flow may affect the performance
of the device and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead
to serious bodily injuries or damage to property.

that there is adequate supervision of children while using the mobile device to guard
against damage to the device and use of services that may increase wireless or
other charges.
Parental control settings should be enabled to ensure that children do not have
access to services or content not approved by the parent. Routinely check this
mobile device to ensure that the device is working properly and is safe for children
