is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference , and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

This dev ice has been tested and found to comply with t he limits
for a Class B digital , pur suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. T hese
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energ y and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause h armful inter ference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interfe rence will not occur in a particular
installation If this equipment does cause har mful interference to
radio or television re ception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off an d on, the user is e ncouraged to try to correct
the inte rference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or r elocate the r eceiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect t he equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/T V technician for

help.

10

FCC Caution:

Change s 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 dev ice 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 is set to transmit at its highest cert ified
power level in all tested frequency b ands, and placed in positions
that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the
separ ation of 15 mm.

Altho ugh the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the devi ce while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is bec ause the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the n etwork. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, t he lower the power output.

The exp osure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR . The
SAR limi t set by the FCC is 1.6 W/k g.

Tests for SAR are conduc ted using sta ndard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with th e device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Autho rization for this model
device with all repor ted SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guid elines. SAR information on this model
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant s ection of HYPERLINK “http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid”
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJBT02.

For this device, the highest repor ted SAR value for usage near
the body is:

11

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was

9024O (Body) 1.37 W/kg

SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation
distance of 1.5 cm bet ween the device and the human body.
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network,
the ope rating power of your device is automaticall y decreased
when full power is not needed. The lowe r the power output of the
device, the lower its SAR value.

Body SA R testing has b een carrie d out at a separation distan ce
of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guid elines during body-worn
operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance
away from the body.

If you are not using an approved accessor y ensure that whatever
product is used is fre e of any metal and that it positions the device
the indicated dist ance away from the body.

Organizations such as the World Health Organiz ation and the US
Food and Drug Adminis tration have suggested that if people are
concer ned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a
hands-free accessor y to keep the wireless device away from the
head or b ody during us e, or reduce the amount of time spent on
the device.
