Regulatory Statement
SAR Information
THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile 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 organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is
2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can
be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of
factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value
under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the body is 0.403 W/kg. Use of
device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the
network band. The device could be used with a separation distance of 0 cm to the
human body.
Federal Communications 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.
This device 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
device 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 device does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the device 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 connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 0.75 W/kg when
placed next to the 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 file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: NDPOT-300.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
WEEE Notice
The WEEE logo on the product or on its box indicates that this product must not be
disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You are liable to dispose of
all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified
collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper
recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will
allow us to help conserve natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the
electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and
environment. For more information about electronic and electrical waste equipment
disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local city center,
