For more detailed information about device or battery
recycling, contact your local city office, household waste
disposal service, or retail store.
Disposal of the device and batteries (if included) is subject to
WEEE Directive Recast (Directive 2012/19/EU) and Battery
Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). The purpose of separating

EU regulatory conformance

Body worn operation

The device complies with RF specifications when used near
your ear or at a distance of 1.5 cm from your body. Ensure
that the device accessories, such as a device case and device
holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the
device away from your body to meet the distance
requirement.

Certification information (SAR)

This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As
recommended by international guidelines, the device is

designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves. These guidelines were developed by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
an independent scientific organization, and include safety
measures designed to ensure the safety of 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 during operation can be
well below the value. This is because the device is designed
to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg averaged over

rams of tissue, and the highest SAR value for this device

10 g
complies with this limit.

The highest SAR value reported for this device type when

ested at the ear is 0.394 W/kg, and when properly worn on

t
the body is 0.825 W/kg.

Statement

Hereby, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. declares that this
device is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
