legal information
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B computer peripheral, 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:
• 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.
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.
RF exposure
General statement on RF energy: Your smartphone contains a
transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits
RF energy. When you communicate with your smartphone, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your
smartphone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): 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
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure
the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg
and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was
0.741 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in other positions, such as on the body.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power
required to communicate with the network.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with IEC standard
PT62209-1.

Body worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio
frequency radiation (RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the smartphone
must be used with a minimum of 15mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure
exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals
concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their
