Read this information carefully before using your device. Electronic device Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device if doing so causes danger or interference with other electronic devices. Interference with medical equipment Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use your device where prohibited. Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service provider for more information. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If using a pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket. Protecting your hearing when using a headset To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Using a headset at high volumes may damage your hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset volume to a safe and comfortable level. Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause distraction and increase your risk of an accident. Areas with flammables and explosives Do not use the device where flammables or explosives are stored (in a gas station, oil depot, or chemical plant, for example). Using your device in these environments increases the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow the instructions indicated in text or symbols. Do not store or transport the device in containers with flammable liquids, gases, or explosives. Traffic security Observe local laws and regulations while using the device. To reduce the risk of accidents, do not use your wireless device while driving. Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely. Do not hold the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories. When you must make or answer a call, pull off the road safely and park the vehicle first. RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle manufacturer. Do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area in a motor vehicle. Doing so may hurt you because of the strong force when the air bag inflates. Wireless devices may interfere with the airplane's flight system. Do not use your device where wireless devices are not allowed according to the airplane company's regulations. Operating environment Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid magnetic fields. Using the device in these environments may result in circuit malfunctions. Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect your device against any danger caused by lightning. Ideal operating temperatures are 0 C to 35 C. Ideal storage temperatures are -20 C to +45 C. Extreme heat or cold may damage your device or accessories. Do not expose your device to direct sunlight (such as on a car dashboard) for prolonged periods. To protect your device or accessories from fire or electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and moisture.

Disposal and recycling information This symbol (with or without a solid bar) on the device, batteries (if included), and/or the packaging, indicates that the device and its electrical accessories (for example, a headset, adapter, or cable) and batteries should not be disposed of as household garbage. These items should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and should be taken to a certified collection point for recycling or proper disposal. For more detailed information about device or battery recycling, contact your local city office, household waste disposal service, or retail store. Disposal of the device and batteries (if included) is subject to WEEE Directive Recast (Directive 2012/19/EU) and Battery Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). The purpose of separating WEEE and batteries from other waste is to minimize the potential environmental impacts and human health risk of any hazardous substances that may be present. Reduction of hazardous substances This device is compliant with the REACH Regulation

[Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006] and RoHS Directive Recast

(Directive 2011/65/EU). Batteries (if included) are compliant with the Battery Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). For up-to-

date information about REACH and RoHS compliance, please visit the web site http://consumer.huawei.com/certification. EU regulatory conformance Body worn operation The device complies with RF specifications when used near your ear or at a distance of 0.5 cm from your body. Ensure that the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away from your body to meet the distance requirement. Certification information (SAR) This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves. Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As recommended by international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an independent scientific organization, and include safety measures designed to ensure the safety of all users, regardless of age and health. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level during operation can be well below the value. This is because the device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network. The SAR limit adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue, and the highest SAR value for this device complies with this limit. The highest SAR value reported for this device type when tested at the ear is 1.38 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 1.59 W/kg. Statement Hereby, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. declares that this device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. For the declaration of conformity, visit the web site http://consumer.huawei.com/certification. The following marking is included in the product:

This device may be operated in all member states of the EU. Observe national and local regulations where the device is used. This device may be restricted for use, depending on the local network. Restrictions in the 2.4 GHz band:

Norway: This subsection does not apply for the geographical area within a radius of 20 km from the centre of Ny-lesund. FCC Regulatory Compliance Body worn operation The device complies with RF specifications when used near your ear or at a distance of 1.5 cm from your body. Ensure that the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away from your body to meet the distance requirement. Certification information (SAR) This device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA). The SAR limit adopted by the USA is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC for this device type complies with this limit. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC for this device type when using at the ear is 1.45 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 1.18 W/kg, and when using the Wi-Fi hotspot function is 1.02 W/Kg. FCC statement 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:

--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.
