Agency/Regulatory Information
The wireless device is approved for use in
many regions of the world. In these regions, the
device meets all radio frequency exposure
requirements. The following 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. Huawei declares
that the wireless device is in compliance with
the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of the Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive).
Radio Frequency Exposure
To ensure compliance at all times with the
R&TTE Directive* 1999/5/EC, the wireless
device can be held in the hand but still requires
a minimum distance of 1.5 cm from the body
when in operation. For body-worn use, it must
be suitably mounted so that it is at least 1.5 cm
away from the body. Mounting accessories (for
example, belt clips) cannot be made of metal.
Do not put the wireless device in your pocket.
* The general public RF exposure limits
referenced in the R&TTE Directive are
consistent with the published Guidelines of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998. ICNIRP
is a formally recognized non-governmental
organization in Non-Ionising Radiation
Protection for the World Health Organisation
(WHO), the International Labour Organisation
(ILO) and the European Union (EU). For more
information, visit the ICNIRP website at
www.icnirp.de.
Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your wireless device is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is running, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy
(also known as radio waves or radio frequency
fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g.
ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio
wave exposure for the public. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.

8
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when using a
wireless device. The SAR value is determined
at the highest certified power level in
laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level
of the wireless device while operating can be
well below the value. This is because the
wireless device is designed to use the minimum
power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei’s wireless device are
designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines such as European Council
Recommendation and Federal Communications
Commission Notice (United States).
European Council Recommendation: Before
a wireless device model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested according to the
technical standard-EN 50361 and not exceed
the limit established by the European Council
Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe
exposure.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is
2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this
device type when tested is 1.20 W/kg.
[EN 50361 scope states “This basic standard
applies to any electromagnetic field (EM)
transmitting devices intended to be used with
the radiating part of the equipment in close
proximity to the human ear including mobile
phones, cordless phones, etc. The frequency
range is 300 MHz to 3 GHz. Therefore, the
above text does not address primary use of the
wireless device product.]
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 adopted by the USA and Canada
is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported
to the FCC and IC for this device type when
tested for use is 0.59W/kg. [There is no
reference to the specific reference standard or
its applicability to the intended use of the
product]
