FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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 United
States.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg for 1g SAR and 4.0W/kg
for 10g SAR.
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
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on
FCC ID: SRQ-ZW21.
For this device, the highest reported mouth SAR value is
0.44W/kg and the highest wrist-worn SAR value is 0.90 W/kg.
This device has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines
when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the mobile device a minimum of 0.0 cm from the
extremity.
FCC Regulations

(such as sweat, brine, soap water, perfume, pesticide spray,
lotion, sunscreen, oil, hair dyer, or solvent).
Watch and bands color may vary, or fade over time. Clean the
watch with a soft non-fleece cloth. If necessary, moisten the
cloth with clean water.

Device Heating
Your device may become warm during charging and during
normal use.
During use in high temperature environments, such as inside a
car or under direct sunshine for a long time, the watch may start
to control its temperature to prevent users from being burned.

Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the device in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your watch may interfere with the
operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile device and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this, use the device on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when 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.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices
onboard the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘airplane mode’, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference with electronic

equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile
devices in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your watch or
other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile device when in a blasting area or in areas
where signs are posted to power off “two-way radios” or
“electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
