RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specied power level in dierent
channels.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 1.12 W/kg when placed next to the
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

The highest CE SAR value for the device is 1.02 W/Kg.
Prevention of Hearing Loss
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
For France, headphones/earphones for this device are compliant with the sound pressure level
requirement laid down in the applicable EN 50332-1:2013 and/or EN 50332-2:2013 standard

RF Exposure information (SAR) - CE
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/5/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general
public to electromagnetic elds by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These
recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientic organizations
through regular and thorough evaluations of scientic studies. The unit of measurement for the
European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specic Absorption Rate” (SAR),
and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the requirements of
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNRP exposure guidelines
and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is measured with the device at a
separation of 1.0 cm to the body while transmitting at the highest certied output power level in
all frequency bands of the mobile device.
