Commission Statement
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.
Changesormodicationsnotexpresslyapprovedby
the party responsible for compliance could void the
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
Theantenna(s)usedforthistransmittermustnotbe
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Thecountrycodeselectionisfornon-USmodels
only and is not available to all US models. Per FCC
regulation, all WiFi products that are marketed in US
mustbexedtoUS-operatedchannelsonly.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
Thisdevicehasbeentestedandmeetsapplicable
limitsforRadioFrequency(RF)exposure.
SpecicAbsorptionRate(SAR)referstotherateat
which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are
1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing
a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that follow
the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/kg (averaged
over 10 grams of tissue) in countries that follow the
CounciloftheEuropeanUnionlimit.TestsforSAR
are conducted using standard operating positions
withthedevicetransmittingatitshighestcertied
power level in all tested frequency bands.
ToreduceexposuretoRFenergy,useahands-free
accessory or other similar option to keep this device
away from your head and body. Carry this device
at least 15 mm away from your body to ensure
exposurelevelsremainatorbelowtheas-tested
levels. Choose the belt clips, holsters, or other
similar body-worn accessories which do not contain
metallic components to support operation in this
manner. Cases with metal parts may change the RF
performance of the device, including its compliance
withRFexposureguidelines,inamannerthat
hasnotbeentestedorcertied,andusesuch
accessories should be avoided.

ThehighestFCCSARvaluesforthedeviceareas
follows:
• 0.72W/Kg@1g(Head)
• 1.19W/Kg@1g(Body)
TheFCChasgrantedanEquipmentAuthorization
for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated
asincompliancewiththeFCCRFexposure
guidelines.SARinformationonthisdeviceisonle
with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
