FCC Compliance
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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's 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.
Health and safety information Radio Frequency (RF) Energy:
This Body Worn Camera meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

15
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 for wireless mobile phones 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 device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the Body Worn Camera is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only
the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the Body Worn
Camera as reported to the FCC when tested for use when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 1.064W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements). While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this Body Worn Camera with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this Body Worn
Camera is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2AR3HBWC-R1
For body worn operation, this Body Worn Camera has been tested and meets the
FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body worn
accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1cm
from your body when the device is switched on.
