FCC Regulations:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital , pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated
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.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC 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 that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the
separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model 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: Q78-R212.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
1 7
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992, and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified
in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC, when tested with the
device directly contacted to the body.
For this device for usage near the body is 1.40W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit
and the human body. Carry this at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level
compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this and
your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and
certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
