following two conditions: (1) This devic e may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interf erence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
1. This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location compliance
requirements as documented in this filing.
2. This equipment compliance with FCC RF radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment for body-worn configuration,
it must be used for the distance minimum 5mm from the body.

WARNINGS:
BATT
ERY AND CHARGERS:
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use.
Use the AC power s upply defined in the specifications of the charger. An
improper power voltage may cause a fire or a malfunction of the charger.
If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is exposed or broken), or
the plug loosens, stop using the cable at once. Otherwise, it may lead to an
electric shock, a short circuit of the charger, or a fire.
Adapter shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF AN INCORR ECT TYPE OF BATTERY IS USED.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT disassemble or replace the battery. If you suspect there is something
wrong with the battery, please carry the unit to the service centre for help.
The battery should not be disposed together with other waste. The battery has
to be disposed at an authorized place for re cycling of electrical and electroni c
appliances. By collecting and recycli ng waste, you help save natural
resources, and make sure the product is disposed in an environmental friendly

EU Regulatory
Conformance
Hereby, we dedares that this device is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
Certification Inform
ation (SAR)
This devic e meets guidelines for exposur e to radio waves. Your device is a
low-power radio transmitter and receiv er. As recommended by international
guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves. These guidelines were dev eloped by the i ndependent scientific
organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) and include safety measures designed to ensure safety for 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 of the device when being operated can be
well below the value. This is becaus e the device is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit also adopted by Europe is 2.0/4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams
of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device type when properly worn on
the body is 0.707W/kg.
Operation Environment
Keep the ambient temper ature between -10°C and 50°C while the device
working.
