FCC RF Exposure Information and Statement
This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health. The SAR limit of USA
(FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged. Device types: portable device (FCC ID: 2AHAF-MDT540) has also
been tested against this SAR limit. SAR information on this and other pad can be viewed on‐line
at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the device FCC ID number for search. This device
was tested simulation typical 0mm to body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use accessories should maintain a separation distance between the user's bodies
mentioned above.
FCC Warning
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 1: 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.
NOTE 2: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IC WARNING
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and

Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
L’émetteur/récepteur exempt de licence contenu dans le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR
d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
2. L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons regardless of age or health. The SAR limit of IC is 1.6 W/kg
averaged. Device: GPS (IC: 21087-MDT540) has also been tested
against this SAR limit. This device was tested simulation typical 0 mm to body. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, 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. The highest reported SAR value for body condition for
separate function is 0.656W/kg respectively.
