RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device 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 United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in
positions accepted by FCC.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
119
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-K88.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage next to
the body is 1.36 W/kg.

Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the device in close proximity to
125
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile device and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To
achieve this, use the device on the opposite ear to your pacemaker
and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
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
Power off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are designed to
prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
126
Aircraft
Power off your wireless device whenever you are instructed 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 ‘flight 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 mobile
devices in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted
signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio
equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
127
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile device or wireless device when in a blasting
area or in areas posted with power off “two-way radios” or
“electronic devices” notices to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
