as a body worn device. The maximum allowable level for the European Union is 2.0 W/kg
and operation of this device is below that value. To reduce RF exposure, keep your device
at a separation distance of 1.5cm from your body, especially when transmitting wireless
data. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its
compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified.
