Huawei E220 Quick Start Guide - Page 9

Agency/Regulatory Information The wireless device is approved for use in many regions of the world. In these regions, the device meets all radio frequency exposure requirements. The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted. is a formally recognized non-governmental organization in Non-Ionising Radiation Protection for the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the European Union (EU). For more information, visit the ICNIRP website at www.icnirp.de. CE Approval (European Union) The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU. Huawei declares that the wireless device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive). Radio Frequency Exposure To ensure compliance at all times with the R&TTE Directive* 1999/5/EC, the wireless device can be held in the hand but still requires a minimum distance of 1.5 cm from the body when in operation. For body-worn use, it must be suitably mounted so that it is at least 1.5 cm away from the body. Mounting accessories (for example, belt clips) cannot be made of metal. Do not put the wireless device in your pocket. * The general public RF exposure limits referenced in the R&TTE Directive are consistent with the published Guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998. ICNIRP Certification Information (SAR) THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is running, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields). Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the public. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements. 7
