FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)

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 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 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
device 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. 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
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the
body is 1.441 W/kg.

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

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation

17

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 bodyworn
operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain
metallic components, to maintain a separati on 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.

FCC Regulations

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.

This device 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 inte rference to radio communications.

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

18

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 measur es:

- 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user ’s authori ty to operate
the equipment.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to op erate the equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
