Union. This label is applied to various batteries to indicate that the
battery is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life
per this Directive.
In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and
accumulators are labeled to indicate that they are to be collected
separately and recycled at end of life. The label on the battery may
also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery
(Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium). Users of batteries
and accumulators must not dispose of batteries and accumulators as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available

EU contact: Lenovo, Einsteinova 21, 851 01 Bratislava, Slovakia

Compliance with the R&TTE Directive

This product is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of the EU Council Radio and Telecommuni­cations Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive, 1999/5/EC. The
Declaration of Conformity information is located in the Regulatory
Notices, which you can download from the Lenovo Support Web site.
See “Downloading publications” in this document for additional
information.

NOTE: R&TTE 1999/5/EC remains in force during the transition
period of Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU until 12
June, 2017. After then, RED 2014/53/EU will take the place of
R&TTE 1999/5/EC.

Specific Absorption Rate information

This mobile device meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10
grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands.
The highest SAR value for your Lenovo device when tested for use at
the head and body is outlined as follows:

Europe 10g SAR Limit (2.0 W/kg)

Position Regulation

Europe 10g SAR Limit (2.0 W/kg)

Head

Body-worn

The highest SAR value

0.585

1.020

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
operating power of your mobile devices is automatically decreased
when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output
of the device, the lower its SAR value.
To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the

device must be positioned at least 0.5cm away from your body.

Users have to adopt a holster/sleeve/cover without any metal
components to maintain this distance.

FCC Regulations:

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation 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 mobile phone 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 radiated 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 into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Note:

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This phone 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 device was set to transmit at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that
simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near
the body with the separation of 10 mm. 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 phone 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement
is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

13

This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled
exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance
with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: YCNK10A40

.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is

0.64 W/kg,for usage near the body is 1.11W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of
10 mm between the unit and the human body.Carry this device at least 10
mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to
the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters,which do notcontain metallic components, to maintain a separation
of 10 mmbetween this deviceand yourbody.
RFexposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains
metal, was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory
should be avoided.
