The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with  
any other antenna or transmitter.  
The country code selection is for non-US models only and is not available to all US models. Per FCC  
regulation, all WiFi products that are marketed in US must be fixed to US-operated channels only.  
RF Exposure Information (SAR)  
This device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits  
are 1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that  
follow the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries  
that follow the Council of the European Union limit. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard  
operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested  
frequency bands.  
To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free accessory or other similar option to keep this  
device away from your head and body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to  
ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Choose the belt clips, holsters,  
or other similar body-worn accessories which do not contain metallic components to support  
operation in this manner. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device,  
including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or  
certified, and use such accessories should be avoided.  
89  
The highest FCC SAR values for the device are as follows:  
• 1.19 W/Kg @1g(Head)  
• 0.96 W/Kg @1g(Body)  
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  
after searching on FCC ID: MSQX00HD.

Déclaration supplémentaire pour les téléphones :  
Pour réduire les risques d’exposition aux fréquences radio, utilisez un dispositif mains libres ou  
toute solution similaire pour maintenir cet appareil à distance de votre tête et de votre corps.  
Maintenez cet appareil à une distance d’au moins 10 mm de votre corps pour que le niveau  
d’exposition ne dépasse pas les niveaux testés. Utilisez seulement des pinces-ceintures, étuis ou  
accessoires ne comportant pas d’éléments métalliques. Lutilisation d’autres accessoires contenant  
des substances métalliques peut ne pas assurer la conformité aux recommandations d’exposition.
