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.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications
or changes to this equipment. Such modifications or changes 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. During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure
in usage near the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement .
This device was tested for typical body.worn operations with the back of the handset kept 10mm from the body.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 10 mm separation
distance between the user's body and the back of the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories
should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
RF Exposure Information(SAR)
The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Device Types HRD23001F (FCC ID: 2AA7KPYXIS-HRD23000) has also been tested against this SAR limit.
The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on
the body is1.168 W/kg and for head is 0.24 W/kg

charging status should be checked frequently per recommended practices.
•Observe and record the information of any new unused and non-fully charged battery. Based on
operating time of new battery and compare with a battery that has been used for long time.
According to product configuration and application program, the operating time of battery would
be different.
•Check battery charging status at regular intervals.
•When the battery capacity drops below about 80%, charging time may be increased.
•If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be sure to follow the storage
instructions in this document. If you do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge
remaining, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a
