When you communicate with your device, the system handling your connection controls the power level at which your device transmits. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Your mobile 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 Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested complied with this limit. The highest SAR value is 1.130 4 W/kg. Body worn operation Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure. To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a minimum of 5 mm separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits. Regulatory information The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted. CE Approval (European Union) The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU.

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 was compliant with this limit at 5 mm. FCC Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
