When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When your device is in use, the system handling your connection controls the power level at which your device transmits. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices is 2 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this device when tested complied with this limit. Body worn operation To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a minimum of 0.5 cm separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits and may use more power than necessary.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with CENELEC EN50566 IEC 62209-2. Regulatory information The following safety approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted. CE Approval (European Union) The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU.

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 Statement FCC Compliance (when US bands are supported) Federal Communications Commission Notice (United States): Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The SAR limit for battery operated standalone wireless routers adopted by the USA is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC for this device type was compliant with this limit. 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, (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: 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.

Air Bags Do not place this device in the area near or over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Store the device safely before driving your vehicle. Emergency Calls This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless device for emergency communications. Device Heating Your device may become warm during charging and during normal use, do not use this device if it is overheated. Electrical Safety Accessories Use only approved accessories and chargers. Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories. Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals, charger, device charging point or any electrical contacts on accessories. Do not touch your device with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands or disconnect the charger by pulling the cord. Doing so may result in elec-
trocution. Connection to a Car Seek professional advice when connecting a device interface to the vehicle electrical system. Faulty and Damaged Products Do not attempt to disassemble the device or its accessory. Only qualified personnel should service or repair the device or its accessory. If your device or its accessory has been submerged in water or other liquid, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked at an authorised service centre. Battery Handling & Safety (For Products with Removable Battery) Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery. Only use the battery and charger supplied, or manufacturer approved replacements intended for use with your device. Using other batteries and chargers could be dangerous. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If you believe the battery has been damaged, do not use the battery, take it to a service centre for testing.

Interference Care must be taken when using the device in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Hearing Aids People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Medical devices Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your device may interfere with the operation of your medical device. Hospitals Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment. Aircraft Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft, if your device offers a flight mode this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft. Interference in cars Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of device in their vehicles unless an external antenna is included in the installation.
