Section 6. Health and Safety Information
• Do not use or store your device in extreme temperatures as your device might overheat and may present a burn and fire risk and cease to function.
• Do not dispose of your device in a fire as this might cause an explosion resulting in serious injury, death, and property loss.
• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit using the radio of wireless devices while in the air. Turn off all wireless connections on your device before boarding an aircraft. Using your device on an aircraft might affect aircraft instrumentation, communication, and performance; might disrupt the network; might otherwise be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, its crew, and its passengers; and might be illegal.
• When listening to audio files using headphones, permanent hearing loss might occur if headphones are used at a high volume. Avoid increasing the volume of your headphones to block out noisy surroundings. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, consult a physician to have your hearing checked.
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using the device.
Important Safety Precautions
Please read the safety and operation instructions before using your device or any accessories that came with it. Retain these instructions for future use.
• Do not install your device in your vehicle or use it while driving. Using your device while driving could put you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death, and property loss. You are responsible for knowing and obeying the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive
• Do not use your device or accessories near water (for example, near a bathtub or a sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool) or spill liquid of any kind on your device or accessories as this might cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock which could cause serious injury, death, and property loss.
• Do not use your device in the presence of gas fumes as it presents a risk of fire or explosion.
85
• Do not disassemble your device. Your device contains small parts that might be a choking hazard.
• Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from your device. Keep your device away from medical devices, including pacemakers and hearing aids, as they might malfunction and cause serious injury or death to you and others.
• Turn off all wireless connections on your device in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
• Certain jurisdictions might prohibit or restrict your use of certain features on your device.
Additional Safety Guidelines

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device 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 U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless device 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model device as reported to the FCC when tested is 0.83 W/kg as described in this user guide.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and be positioned a minimum of 0 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
