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 mobiledevice 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 frequencyenergy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interferenceto 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.

• onsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any
otherantenna or transmitter.

FCC SAR information

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
specified in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C

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 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT
transmitting at the specified power level in different channels.

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 0.373W/kg when
placed next to the body.

i

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device 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: GSS­VS14572G.

Canada Statement

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
The County Code Selection feature is disabled for products marketed in the US/

Canada. For product available in the USA/ Canada markets, only channel 1~11 can
be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

IC Radiation Exposure Statement

This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits
in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods
and procedures specified in IEEE 1528.

CE Conformity for European Countries

The device complies with the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and Low
Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.

CE SAR Information

THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile 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 scientific organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health.

The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is

2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Test for body worn SAR, the positions of
the device are at a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body with the device transmitting at its
highest certified 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. That amount changes depending
on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The
highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the body is

0.375 W/kg. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different
SAR values. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing
requirements and the network band.

Following information is only for EU-member states:

The mark shown to the right is in compliance with the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).

ii

The mark indicates the requirement NOT to dispose the equipment as unsorted
municipal waste, but use the return and collection systems according to local law.

If the batteries, accumulators and button cells included with this equipment,
display the chemical symbol Hg, Cd, or Pb, then it means that the battery has a
heavy metal content of more than 0.0005% Mercury, or more than 0.002%
Cadmium, or more than 0.004% Lead.

European Union Regulatory Conformance

The equipment complies with the RF Exposure Requirement 1999/519/EC, Council
Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to
electromagnetic fields (0–300 GHz). This equipment meets the following conformance
standards: EN50332-1/2, EN301489-1, EN301489-17, EN55022/24, EN62209-2,
EN60950-1, EN300328, EN301908-1/2, EN301489-24, EN301489-7, EN301511,
EN301489-3, EN300440.

The device has been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level
requirement laid down in the applicable EN 50332-1 and EN 50332-2
standards. Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones
are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.
