◆ FCC RF Exposure Information
This model DATA Device meets the U.S. Government's requirements for exposure to
radio waves. This DATA Device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. This DATA
Device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy as set by the FCC of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions as
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 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 level of the
device. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to prove to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the U.S.
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on
position and locations (for example, worn on the body) as required by FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model Device as reported to the FCC, when
worn on the body, is 1.17 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the U.S. government
requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model Device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model Device is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Equipment Authorization Search section at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/
(please search on FCC ID VQK-F06C).
In the United States, the SAR limit for wireless mobile Devices used by the general
public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue. SAR values may vary
depending upon national reporting requirements and the network band.
◆ Important Safety Information
AIRCRAFT
Switch off your wireless device when boarding an aircraft or whenever you are
instructed to do so by airline staff. If your device offers flight mode or similar feature
consult airline staff as to whether it can be used on board.
DRIVING
Full attention should be given to driving at all times and local laws and regulations
restricting the use of wireless devices while driving must be observed.
HOSPITALS
Mobile devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent
possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
PETROL STATIONS
Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of wireless devices or other radio
equipment in locations with flammable material and chemicals. Switch off your
wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by authorized staff.
INTERFERENCE
Care must be taken when using the wireless device in close proximity to personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be
maintained between a wireless device and a pace maker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
For other Medical Devices :
Please consult your physician and the device manufacturer to determine if operation
of your device may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
