this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Caution: The user is cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
The device complies with the RF specifications when the
device is used near your ear or at a distance of 1.0 cm

safety measures designed to ensure safety for all users,
regardless of age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR
value is determined at the highest certified power level in
laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the
device when being operated can be well below the value.
This is because the device is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.

watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this
device type when tested for use at the ear is 0.910 W/kg,
and when properly worn on the body is 1.284 W/kg.
