use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between

system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral

devices and shielded cables between system components to reduce

the possibility of causing interference to radios, televisions, and

other electronic devices.

FCC Compliance Statement

This device 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.

NOTE: 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:

Compliance with International Standards 64

• 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 Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure
limits set forth an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

The device was tested and complies to measurement standards

and procedures specied in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement

C

Certication information (SAR)

The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

Your 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 scientic organization ICNIRP and include

safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of

measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate or SAR.

Compliance with International Standards 65

The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all
tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating

device can be below the maximum value because the device is
designed to use only the power required to reach the network.

The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP

EU 10g SAR Limit Highest 10g SAR Value

2 W/kg 0.391 W/kg

This equipment complies with the European Council

Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of

Exposure of the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields

[1999/519/EC].
