While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at  
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.  
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  
For Canada  
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 Category II radiocommunication device complies with Industry Canada Standard  
RSS-310.  
Ce dispositif de radiocommunication de catégorie II respecte la norme CNR-310

IMPORTANT NOTE: IC Radiation Exposure Statement  
This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits  
in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods  
and procedures specified in IEEE 1528. This equipment should be installed and  
operated with minimum distance 0.5cm between the radiator & your body.  
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with  
any other antenna or transmitter.

CE 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. Test for body worn SAR, the positions of  
the device are at a minimum of 1.5cm from the body 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  
0.43 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.  
CE Conformity for European Countries  
The device complies with the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and Low  
Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.
