Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your wireless 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 organization 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 wireless devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested complied with this limit.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF)
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a minimum of
1.5cm 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 wireless device
is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Radio and

Federal Communications Commission Notice (United States): Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
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 for this device type was compliant
with the limit.
FCC Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
