Important safety and handling information
Plastic bag notice
Danger: Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and
children to avoid danger of suocation.
Caution about high volume usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time
may aect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your
hearing could be aected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness
in your ears, ringing in your ears or mued speech, you should stop listening to the
device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long
periods.
Safety instructions for parents and adult supervisors
Your mobile device is not a toy. As with all electrical products, precautions should
be observed during handling and using of electrical products to reduce the risk of
electric shock. If parents choose to allow children to use the device, they should
caution his or her child about the potential hazard while using and handling the
mobile device.
Parents should inspect the mobile device (including the ac power adapter and
the small part, as applicable) periodically for damage. Routinely check this mobile
device to ensure that the device is working properly and is safe for children to use.
Internal rechargeable battery warning
Danger: Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Replacing the original battery with an incompatible type may result in an increased
risk of personal injury or property damage due to explosion, excessive heat, or other
risks. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. Attempting to do
so can cause a harmful explosion or battery fluid leakage.

Restrictions of use:
Usage of this device is limited to indoor in the band 5150 to 5350MHz.
Specific Absorption Rate information
YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL 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 (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an
independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The
radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for your device model are listed
below:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded.

The above information is for EU countries only. Please refer to the actual
product for supported frequency bands in other countries.
During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values
stated. This is because, for purposes of system eciency and to minimize interference
on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically
decreased when full power is not needed for the data connection. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. If you are interested in further
reducing your RF exposure then you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply
using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.
