Appendix FCC Regulatory Compliance FCC Regulatory 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. Your mobile device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile devices. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standard Institute (ANSI), National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP). Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines. Statement according to FCC part 15.105 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 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: xx Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. xx Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. xx Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. xx Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Statement according to FCC part 15.21 Modifications not expressly approved by this company could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. RF exposure FCC For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only accessories that contain no metallic components and provide a separation distance of 20 mm (0.6 inches) to the body. Use of other accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Health and Safety Information FCC This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528-2003 Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. 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 1.6W/ kg.* 70
