Federal Communications Commission notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 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 radiate 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 to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly
approved by HP may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Cables
To maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations, connections to this device must be made with shielded cables
having metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods.
Declaration of Conformity for products marked with the FCC logo (United States only)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following 2 conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Products with wireless LAN devices or HP Mobile Broadband Modules
This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Å WARNING! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation: The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human
contact is minimized during normal operation.
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.
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. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should be minimized. This device has been tested and
demonstrated compliance when Bluetooth and WiFi are transmitting simultaneously.

Products with wireless modules (EMF)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION.
The wireless module in your tablet computer is a radio transmitter and receiver. The device is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF radiation for the general population. The guidelines were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
device also meets the European R&TTE directives, including the protection of the health and the safety of the user and
any other person.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).*
The SAR was obtained by testing the device at standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value, because the device operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the
network.
When installed in the tablet computer, this device meets RF exposure guidelines when the antennas are positioned at a
minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the
network. In some cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available.
