FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. BODY-WORN OPERATION Your smart device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the device kept 1.5 cm from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the device, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 1.5 cm separation distance between the user's body and the back of the device, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided. When carrying the device on you, turning the display in towards the body will minimize RF exposure and maximize antenna efficiency. Modifications The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corporation may void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. Appendix 113

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies
with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
Your smart device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of the device kept 1.5 cm from the body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be
maintained between the user’s body and the back of the device, including
the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
containing metallic components should not be used. Body-worn accessories
that cannot maintain 1.5 cm separation distance between the user’s body
and the back of the device, and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.
When carrying the device on you, turning the display in towards the body
will minimize RF exposure and maximize antenna efficiency.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications
made to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer
Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless
phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to
require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent
of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.
