your device and store it in a cool dry place.

• Never use any charger or battery damaged or worn out.

• Return the worn-out battery to the provider or put it in the appointed recycle place. Do not dispose of the battery in the trash.

WARNING! If the battery is broken, keep away from it. If it taints your skin, wash your skin with abundant fresh water and ask doctor for help if necessary.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

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 mobile devices 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 device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.08 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.08 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)

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 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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on:

FCC ID: SRQ-MF923

SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation 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.

FCC Compliance

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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

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 mobile devices 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 device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.08 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.08 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)

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 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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on:

FCC ID: SRQ-MF923

SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation 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.

FCC Compliance

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.
